Grand
Prize Contest:
Prior to the start of the Contest, a predetermined winning 5-digit
number will be randomly selected by an independent promotions company, and
placed in a sealed security envelope.
The winning number may be any number within the range 00000 – 99999,
inclusive; and digits may repeat within the winning number (i.e. the winning
number could be 00000). Following the
random selection of the (200) finalists as outlined above, each finalist’s
number guess will be submitted to the promotions company for comparison to the
grand prize winning number as contained in the sealed security envelope. In order for the grand prize to be awarded to
an eligible selected finalist, the finalist must have correctly guessed the
predetermined grand prize winning number in exact order, which was
selected for this contest and is contained in the sealed master envelope. For example if the predetermined winning
number is 1-2-3-4-5, then a submitted number guess of 5-4-3-2-1 will not be considered a winning
entry. Only the 5-digit number guess
that is associated with the finalist’s entry that was randomly selected as a
finalist for the Contest will be eligible for the grand prize, regardless of
the accuracy any other entries a finalist may have submitted during the
Registration Period.
In the event a winning number guess has been
submitted, the finalist(s) who submitted the winning number guess will be
notified. In the event that no winning
number guess is submitted by a selected finalist, then the grand prize will not be awarded and the sealed
envelope containing the predetermined winning number will be opened, and the
winning number will be revealed.
Prize Awards & Delivery: In the event the eligible finalist
successfully completes the grand prize contest requirements, that finalist will
be eligible to claim the grand prize, subject to approval and verification of
compliance with these official rules.
The grand prize is: $1,000,000
40-year annuity, awarded in the form of $25,000 Cash per year for 40-years
without interest. The initial prize
award of $25,000 cash shall be awarded within approximately 30-days of receipt
of all required prize acceptance paperwork, and each subsequent payment shall
occur on or about the anniversary date of the first payment for 39-years. No current cash value of the annuity prize
award will be available.
A maximum (1) grand prize will be
awarded. In the event that more than (1)
eligible selected finalist submits a winning entry during this contest, the
grand prize will be divided evenly between those finalists who submitted a
winning entry. In the event there is no
grand prize winning attempt, then the grand prize will not be awarded.
Bonus
Prize (Maximum of 9): Each
of the (9) participating locations will determine which of their (20) eligible
finalists guessed the most digits in exactly the correct order starting with
the 1st digit, as compared to the predetermined winning 5-digit
number. The finalist from each location
who submitted a guess with the most digits in exactly the correct order
starting with the 1st digit will be designated as a bonus prize
winner, subject to approval and verification of compliance with these official
rules. The bonus prize is: (1) $500
Value City Furniture gift card. Gift card is subject to the terms and
conditions of the Value City Furniture gift card policy. Sponsor reserves the
right, in its sole discretion, to award multiple gift cards in varying
denominations to satisfy the total amount to be awarded. In the event of a tie
between any eligible finalists, the first tie breaker will be based upon which
finalist guessed closest to the next winning digit(s) regardless of whether
their guess is higher or lower than the actual winning digit. In the event there is a remaining tie after
all (5) digits have been checked, then a random drawing will be held among tied
finalists to determine the bonus prize winner for the corresponding
location. In the event of a grand prize
winner, there will be no bonus prize awarded for the participating location
that produced the grand prize winner.
Winner(s) must accept delivery of prize from
Sponsor, or as otherwise instructed by sponsor.
All other costs related to prize delivery and acceptance are the
responsibility of winner including but not limited to federal, state and local
taxes. All properly claimed prizes will be awarded. Prizes are non-transferable and no cash
redemption or prize substitution allowed, except at sponsor’s sole discretion
or as provided herein. Sponsor reserves
the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value if an advertised
prize becomes unavailable.
Winner(s) will be required to complete and
return a W-9 form (if prize value exceeds
$600.00), affidavit of eligibility, and liability/publicity release, and
present a valid driver’s license and social security card before prize will be
awarded. Winners of prizes greater than
$600.00 will be issued a 1099 form reflecting the value of the prize(s) and are
responsible for paying all income taxes on prize(s). Failure to collect or properly claim any
prize in accordance with these rules will result in forfeiture of the
prize. If forfeited for any reason,
contestant will not receive any other prize substitution or compensation. Total ARV of all prizes: $1,000,000 40-year annuity and $4,500.
