3. HOW TO ENTER
– Internet Entry:
To enter, join any participating US Open Heineken NYC sampling event in the

NYC scratch card game piece (no purchase necessary) from a Heineken ambassador,
while supplies last. Scratch card game piece availability is limited
(approximately 50 game pieces will be available to be distributed per sampling
event). After obtaining a game piece, gently remove the scratch off surface on
your game piece to reveal the unique PIN Code, then scan the QR Code on the
game piece using your mobile device’s camera or directly visit www.Heineken.com/us/en/promos/usopennyc. Follow the on-screen
entry instructions to register, redeem your unique PIN Code online and
determine if you are an instant winner (see prize description below). Normal time rates, if any, charged by
Internet service provider will apply. All Internet entries and PIN Code
redemptions must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. ET on 8/31/2026.
There is
a limit of one (1) online registration per person per PIN Code. Each valid unique PIN Code may be redeemed a
maximum of one time. Sponsor is
not responsible for lost or damaged game pieces or PIN Codes or any PIN Code
not redeemed in the manner required by the Official Rules. Any game piece that is defective, or contains
any printing, typographical, or mechanical error or human or programming errors
in production is void. Contestants in possession of a defective game piece may
only receive a replacement game piece in exchange for the defective card. Any act or omission that changes the odds or
scheduled number of prize awards will render the game piece or PIN Code
void. No more than the scheduled number
of prize awards will be awarded for any reason, including human or programming
errors, or errors in the production or distribution of game pieces.
By submitting an entry, entrants fully and
unconditionally agree to be bound by these Official Rules and the decisions of Sponsor
and its appointed agents, which will be final and binding in all matters
relating to the Promotion. Any entry
submitted on behalf of another individual or using another individual’s
information, providing any incorrect, inaccurate, fake or false information
during registration, or attempting to submit more than the allowable number of
entries by using alternate names, emails, addresses, or other method shall
result in all such entries being disqualified.
