Entry submitted on behalf of another individual or using another person’s email
address or name will be disqualified and ineligible to claim a prize. No
mechanically reproduced or automated Entries permitted. Use of any automated
system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification and all
such Entries will be deemed void. The authorized account holder of the e-mail
address used to register will be deemed to be the registrant associated with
that e-mail address. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person
assigned an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, online service

Winner Selection, Notification and Verification:
On or about 9/4/2023, Administrator will conduct a random drawing from among all eligible Entries received to select a total of three (3) potential winners (each a “Potential Winner”).
Beginning on or about 9/4/2023, each Potential Winner will be notified
initially through the email address or phone number provided during registration
or on a Mail-in Entry. If the Administrator is unsuccessful in its attempt to reach
and speak directly with a Potential Winner by phone or email within 48-hours of
the initial notification attempt, then that Entrant may be disqualified (as solely determined by the Administrator)
and an alternate Potential Winner may be randomly selected from among the
remaining eligible Entries and notified as per the procedures outlined above (time permitting). Note: phone messages will not be left during the winner notification
process.
During winner notification, Potential Winners must verify their eligibility
to participate in and win the Sweepstakes, and indicate ability and willingness
to accept the prize. Potential Winner will then receive an official prize notification
packet via email, which must be completed and returned to Administrator within five
(5) days of receipt. If the Potential Winner does not meet the eligibility
requirements, is unable or unwilling to accept the prize, or elects to decline
the prize, that entry shall be disqualified and, at Sponsor’s discretion and
time permitting, an alternate entry will be selected at random from among all
remaining eligible Entries and a new Potential Winner will be notified per the
procedures outlined above. Any disqualified Entrant will not receive an
alternate prize substitution or compensation. Decisions of the Administrator in the selection and determination of
the Grand Prize winner and all matters relating to this Sweepstakes are final
and binding.
All of the following will apply to verify a prize winner (“Winner”): 1)
Winner must complete and return, within 5-days of date of receipt, a prize
acceptance form, a W-9 form, an affidavit of eligibility, and a
liability/publicity release (where permitted), a travel release form (required

prize. If forfeited for any reason, Winner will not receive any other prize
substitution or compensation, and the prize will remain the property of Sponsor
and will not be awarded, except as provided herein.
