Participants in the online Instant Win game who receive an on-screen confirmation message will be determined as a potential Instant Win prize winner. Potential Instant Win prize winners will be determined at random. If you are a potential Instant Win prize winner, you will receive an on-screen message stating that you have won an Instant Win prize along with a unique prize claim code. (If you have not received the on-screen confirmation message, along with a unique prize claim code, then you are not an instant winner.)

Once eligibility has been verified, each instant win prize winner shall receive delivery of their prize award via Venmo only to the mobile phone number as submitted with initial online registration, as outlined above. You must allow a minimum of 8 – 12 weeks for processing and delivery. Please note that you are not officially a winner until your eligibility has been verified and you have fully complied with these Official Rules.

Sponsor/Administrator shall require each Instant Win prize winner to complete, sign and submit, where legal, an online digital Declaration of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release within three (3) days of receipt (via a link to an online claim portal), and each potential winner must provide and submit a valid government issued photo ID verifying the entrant’s name and residential address (which must match the information submitted with their initial online registration. NOTE: there shall be no opportunity to update or change the initial name, address or Venmo mobile phone number as provided at the time of initial online registration).

No potential winner will be an official winner until all required paperwork and Photo ID has been completed and returned, and eligibility has been formally verified by Sponsor/Administrator.

If by reason of a printing, computer, or other error more prizes are awarded in a prize category than the number set forth in these Official Rules, all persons purportedly making valid claims will be included in a random drawing to award the advertised number of prizes available. In no case will more than the advertised number of prizes be awarded. Antifraud detection devices may be used for verification purposes. In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Promotion materials and the terms and conditions of the Official Rules, the Official Rules shall prevail, govern and control.

Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. Headings are solely for convenience and will not be deemed to affect in any manner the meaning or intent of the documents or any provision hereof.

Caution: Any attempt by an entrant to deliberately damage any website or undermine the legitimate operation of the Promotion may be a violation of criminal and civil laws, and should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law.
