remaining eligible Entries and notified as per the procedures outlined above (time permitting). Note: phone messages will not be left during the winner notification
process.

random from among all remaining eligible Entries and a new Potential Winner
will be notified per the procedures outlined above. Any disqualified Entrant
will not receive an alternate prize substitution or compensation. Decisions of the Administrator in the
selection and determination of the Grand Prize winner and all matters relating
