How to Play – Instant Win Game:  After completing the online registration page (first time visitors) or logging in 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).  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 follow the online instructions to determine if you are an instant prize winner.  After participating in the instant win game, entrants will immediately be notified if they are an instant prize winner for that game play attempt.

 

After participating in the instant win game 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 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 one thousand (1,000) 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).  If there is no game play attempt at or following the scheduled winning time on any date during the Sweepstakes period, then the instant win prize shall not be awarded for that associated date and time.

 

NOTE:  There is a 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.  Potential prize winners shall then receive official notification via email from Sweepstakes Administrator.  If the Administrator is unsuccessful in its attempt to reach a potential prize winner via email for any reason (including but not limited to incorrect email addresses provided by entrant, junk/spam folder delivery, blocked delivery or failure by any potential winner to check their email including their junk/spam folder), then that contestant may be disqualified.  Note: phone messages will not be left during the winner notification process.

 

 

All of the following will apply to each potential prize winner: (1) winner must complete and submit, within three (3) days of notification, an online electronic prize acceptance form, including affidavit of eligibility and liability/publicity release (publicity release where permitted), and submit a photo of their valid driver’s license or government issued photo ID verifying their residential address in order to verify eligibility; (2) winner may be required to present a copy of a valid social security card as a condition of participating or receiving any prize; and (3) winner is responsible for payment of any and all applicable taxes (including, but not limited to, all local, state and federal taxes) on their respective prize award.  All required prize claim forms must be completed and submitted by the stated deadline within 3-days of receipt of notification as a potential prize winner. 

 

If a potential winner does not meet the eligibility requirements, fails to complete and submit any required documents provided by Administrator as instructed within the required deadline, is unable or unwilling to accept the prize, elects to decline the prize or does not have a valid Venmo or PayPal account associated with the mobile phone number or email address as provided at time of initial online registration, then s/he will be disqualified.  Any disqualified contestant will not receive any alternate prize substitution or compensation.  Decisions of the Administrator in the determination of the winners and all matters relating to this Sweepstakes are final and binding. 

 

Potential prize winners determined to meet the eligibility requirements shall receive delivery of their prize award via Venmo or PayPal as outlined below.  Winners must have or create a valid Venmo or PayPal account, associated with either the mobile phone number or email address, as submitted at the time of initial online registration.  Allow 2 – 4 weeks for prize delivery.
