disqualified and, at Sponsor’s discretion and time permitting, an alternate
winner will be randomly selected from among all remaining eligible entries and

substitution or compensation. Decisions of the Administrator in the
selection and determination of the winner and all matters relating to this
Sweepstakes are final and binding.
