with your registered email address (for return visitors), entrants may
participate in the instant win game for the random chance to win an available
prize award (see below). The instant win
game play page will display an image of an Absolut Vodka bottle and cocktail
image. 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 virtually scratch off the on
screen image to reveal the message below. After virtually scratching off the image, entrants
will immediately be notified if they are an instant prize winner for that game
play attempt.
After virtually
scratching off the image 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 three hundred ninety-six
(396) instant prize winners will be randomly determined during the entire Sweepstakes
period, a maximum of one per day, 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.
NOTE:
There is a maximum of one instant win prize award per person, email
address or household during the entire Sweepstakes period,
and a maximum of two hundred (200) instant win prize winners determined from
any individual state.

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.
