How to Play – Online Game:  After completing the online registration page (first time visitors) or logging in with your registered email address (for return visitors), visit the ‘scratch off’ game play page on the website.  The game play page will display a virtual image of a Jägermeister hockey puck.  To determine if you are an instant prize winner (see instant win prize description below), simply scratch off the image on the hockey puck to reveal the message beneath. 

 

After scratching off the image on the hockey puck on the game play screen, the website will determine if the participant is a potential instant win prize winner, and the participant shall receive an online message verifying if they are a potential winner.  If they are not a winner, they will receive a non-winning message.  If the participant is determined as a potential instant prize winner, they will receive a winner confirmation message printed under the scratch off image on their hockey puck, AND an associated unique prize claim code on their results page.  If the participant does not receive the winner confirmation message along with a valid unique prize claim code on the results page for any reason, or receives the non-winning results message under the scratch off image on the hockey puck, then that participant will not be a prize winner for that game play attempt. 

 

Eligible participants may return to the contest website to play the online instant win game up to one time per day, each day during the Sweepstakes period.  Each ‘day’ shall be defined as occurring between 12:00:00am ET to 11:59:59pm ET, and the Contest Administrator’s time clock shall be the sole determinant of the eligible time period.

 

Prize winners will be randomly determined throughout the Sweepstakes Period.  A maximum total of fourteen (14) winners will be randomly determined during the entire Sweepstakes period, based upon randomly selected and predetermined winning dates and times.  The first eligible participant who participates at or following a scheduled winning date and time, shall receive a winning prize message and unique prize claim code, and shall be eligible to claim the prize award for that attempt (see below). 

 

Claiming a prize award:  Eligible contestants receiving an online instant winner confirmation message, must print or record their unique prize claim code, and must follow the online instructions provided.  Eligible prize winners will receive instructions to complete and return a required prize claim form within 2 – 4 weeks from their online notification of being randomly determined as a potential prize winner.

IMPORTANT:  In the event of any technical or programming errors, tampering, or any error or malfunction of any kind that results in more than the scheduled number of participants being notified they are a potential prize winner – then all such claimants shall be placed into a random drawing, and the actual scheduled number of prize winners as listed above will be randomly selected from all participants receiving a prize notification or submitting a prize claim.  The maximum number of prize awards are as listed above, regardless of the number of participants who claim to have received, or who have actually received an online prize winner notification.

 

Sweepstakes Grand Prize Drawing – Winner Selection and Notification (maximum of 1 grand prize winner):  Eligible participants will receive one automatic entry into the random grand prize drawing for each eligible instant win game play attempt during the Registration Period.  Participants may receive multiple entries for the Sweepstakes drawing – one for each eligible instant win game play attempt during the Registration Period, up to a maximum total of ninety (90) entries.

 

Following conclusion of the Registration Period, Sponsor shall conduct a random grand prize drawing on or about 4/1/2021 from among all eligible entries received, to select a total of one (1) potential grand prize winner.  The potential winner will be notified initially by phone following his/her selection.  If the Sweepstakes Administrator is unsuccessful in its attempt to reach and speak directly with the selected potential winner by phone within 48-hours of the initial attempt to the phone number associated with his/her entry, then that contestant may be disqualified and an alternate potential prize winner may be randomly selected from among the remaining eligible entries and notified as per the procedures outlined above (time permitting).  

 

During winner notification, the selected potential prize winner must confirm their eligibility, and indicate their willingness to accept the associated prize award, as designated by Sweepstakes Administrator (see below).  The potential prize winner will then receive official notification via email and will be required to complete and return within 3-days of receipt of prize acceptance document including affidavit of eligibility and liability/publicity release form. 

 

If the selected potential prize winner does not meet the eligibility requirements or elects to decline the prize, s/he will be disqualified and, at Sponsor’s discretion and time permitting, an alternate winner will be randomly selected from among all remaining eligible entries and notified as per the procedures outlined above.  Any disqualified contestant will not receive any alternate prize substitution or compensation. 

 

All of the following will apply to the potential grand prize winner: 1) winner will be required to complete and return, within three (3) days of date of receipt, a prize acceptance form, including an affidavit of eligibility and a liability/publicity release (publicity release where permitted); 2) prize winner will be required to present a copy of a valid driver’s license or government I.D. as a condition of receiving any prize; and 3) grand prize winner will be responsible for paying all applicable taxes on prize.
