email with instructions on how to claim your prize including a prize claim form
or a link to an
online prize claim form. Allow 2 – 4
weeks for processing and delivery of email with prize claim form. Sponsor/Administrator shall require each

Drawing will be conducted by Sponsor or its
appointed agent, and all decisions are final. Potential winner will be
contacted by telephone and/or email. If the potential winner cannot be reached
within twenty-four (24) hours of first notification attempt, if any prize or
prize notification is returned as undeliverable, if any potential winner
rejects his/her prize, or in the event of noncompliance with these Official Rules,
such prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner
will be selected from among all remaining eligible entries. Upon forfeiture of
any prize, no compensation will be given.
Potential grand prize winner will be required to
sign and return, where legal, a Declaration of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity
Release within one (1) day of receipt and notification that he/she is a

of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release has been returned and
eligibility has been formally verified by Sponsor. If the potential winner
