with your registered email address (for return visitors), entrants may
participate in the instant win game for the random chance to win an available instant
win prize award (see below). The instant
win game play page will display a virtual image of a Jameson bottle. To determine if you are an instant prize
winner, up to one time each day during the Sweepstakes period, visit the game
play page and participate in the instant win game by virtually scratching off
the image of the Jameson bottle to reveal the message below. After scratching the image of the Jameson
bottle, entrants will immediately be notified if they are an instant prize
winner for that game play attempt.
After scratching
the image of the Jameson bottle on the game play screen, the website will
determine if the participant is a potential instant prize winner for that game
play attempt, and the participant shall receive an online message verifying if
they are a potential winner. If they are
NOT determined as an instant win prize winner, they will receive a non-winning
message. If the participant is
determined as a potential instant win prize winner, the participant will
receive an instant winner confirmation message, associated instant win prize
description AND an associated unique prize claim code on their
results page. If the participant does
not receive the winner confirmation message and a valid unique prize claim code
for any reason, or receives the non-winning results message, then that
participant will not be a prize winner for that game play attempt.
Eligible participants
may return to the Sweepstakes 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 Sweepstakes Administrator’s
time clock shall be the sole determinant of the eligible time
period.
Instant win prize winners will be
randomly determined throughout the Sweepstakes Period. A maximum total of six (6) instant
prize 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 an instant win
prize message and unique prize claim code, and shall be eligible to
claim the instant win prize award (see
below).
NOTE:
Maximum of one instant win prize award per person, email address or
household during the entire Sweepstakes period. After receiving a winning prize message or
being determined as an eligible instant win prize winner, contestants may not
be re-awarded another instant win prize during the entire Sweepstakes period to
the same individual, email or any member of the same household.
Claiming a prize award: Eligible
contestants receiving an online winner confirmation message, must print or
record their unique prize claim code, and must follow the online instructions
provided. Eligible prize winners will
receive a prize claim form via email within approximately 2 weeks from their

results in more than the scheduled number of participants being notified they
are an instant win prize winner – then all such claimants shall be placed into
a random drawing for that associated prize level, and the actual scheduled
number of instant win prize winners as listed above will be randomly selected
from all participants receiving an instant win prize notification or submitting
an instant win prize claim for that associated prize. The maximum number of instant win prize
awards for each associated prize level are as listed above, regardless of the
number of participants who claim to have received, or who have actually received an instant win prize notification.
Each
potential instant win prize winner will receive official notification and prize
claim documents via email delivery, which must be completed and returned by the
