Prize Drawings – Winner
Selection & Notification (total of 3 winners): Sponsor
shall conduct a series of random prize drawings from among all eligible entries
received from all entry methods combined as of the date and time of each
drawing on or about 11/17/20, 11/24/20 and 12/15/20 to select one (1) potential
winner per drawing date to receive the prize described below.
Note: Limit one prize per person or household for the
entire Sweepstakes Period. All
potential prize winners will be notified initially by phone and/or email following
their selection. If the Administrator is
unsuccessful in its attempt to reach and speak directly with a selected
potential winner by phone within 72-hours of the initial notification attempt to
the phone number or email address associated with that individual’s entry, then
that potential winner may be disqualified and an alternate potential winner may
be randomly selected from among the remaining eligible entries in the
applicable drawing pool. Alternate winners (if any) will be notified as per the
procedures outlined above.
During
winner notification, the selected potential winner must confirm their eligibility,
and indicate their willingness and ability to accept the designated prize. Upon verification of his/her eligibility and compliance
with these Official Rules, the potential winner will then receive official
notification via email. If any selected
winner does not meet the eligibility requirements, or is unable or unwilling to
accept the prize or elects to decline the prize, s/he will be disqualified and,
at Sponsor’s discretion, an alternate potential winner will be randomly
selected from among all remaining eligible entries in the applicable drawing pool
and notified as per the procedures outlined above. Any disqualified potential winner will not
receive compensation. Decisions of the Administrator in the selection
and determination of all prize winners and in all matters relating to this Sweepstakes
are final and binding.
All
of the following will apply to each winner: 1) Winner will be required to
complete and return, within 3-days of date of receipt, a prize acceptance form including
an affidavit of eligibility, a liability release and (where permitted) a publicity
release; 2) Winner may be required to
present proof of identification in any manner deemed reasonable and necessary
by Administrator as a condition of receiving a prize; and 3) Winner is responsible for paying all applicable
taxes (including, but not limited to all local, state and federal income taxes)
on his/her prize. Failure to return the
required documents within the time period noted above, or to provide proof of
identification if requested, will result in disqualification and forfeiture of
the prize, which Sponsor may award to an alternate winner selected randomly from
among all remaining eligible entries in the applicable drawing pool. Such alternate
winner will be notified as per the procedures outlined above.
Each verified prize
winner shall receive the following: a $100.00 gift card from the Sponsor designated
supermarket or other gift card provider, use of which is subject to
the terms, conditions and policies of issuing gift card provider. Approximate retail value (ARV) of each prize
award: $100.

notification, or as otherwise designated by Sponsor. Prizes will not be shipped
to P.O. Boxes. Allow approximately 8 – 12
weeks for shipment of prize following verification of eligibility and compliance
with these Official Rules.
Once shipped, prize
shall be considered as awarded and delivered, and Sponsor shall not be responsible
for actual receipt of delivery by winner.
Sponsor shall not be responsible for any lost, late, undelivered, misdirected,
damaged or stolen delivery; or any incorrect delivery address provided by winner. In the event of any delivery issues, including

to replace the prize, and prize shall not be substituted by Sponsor with any alternate
prize award or compensation. Winner shall
look solely to designated shipper/carrier for any lost, damaged, stolen or
mis-delivered packages and not to Sponsor.
No more than the number of
prizes stated herein will be awarded under any circumstances. If, due to a
human, technical or other error, the number of prize notifications for any
drawing exceeds the intended number of prizes, the intended number of prizes
will be awarded in a random drawing from among all recipients of such notifications.
