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 Contest 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.

undermine the legitimate operation of the Contest may be a violation of
