IMPORTANT:  In the event of any technical or programming errors, tampering, or any error or malfunction of any kind that results in more than the scheduled number of participants being notified they are an instant prize winner – then all such claimants shall be placed into a random drawing, and the actual scheduled number of instant prize winners as listed above will be randomly selected from all participants receiving an instant win prize notification or submitting an instant winning prize claim.  The maximum number of instant win prize awards are as listed above, regardless of the number of participants who claim to have received, or who have actually received an instant win on-line prize notification.

 

Sweepstakes Grand Prize Drawing – Winner Selection and Notification (maximum of 1 grand prize winner):  Eligible entrants will receive one automatic entry into the random grand prize drawing for completing the online registration during the Registration Period.  Sponsor appointed Sweepstakes Administrator shall conduct a random grand prize drawing on or about July 23, 2021 in Woodbridge, NJ from among all eligible entries received as of the date and time of the drawing, to select a total of one (1) potential grand prize winner (see grand prize award description below).

 

The potential grand prize winner will be notified initially by phone and/or email beginning on or about July 23, 2021.  If the Sweepstakes Administrator is unsuccessful in its attempt to reach and speak directly with the selected potential grand prize winner by phone after 3 attempts within a 48-hour period from the initial attempt to the phone number listed on that participant’s entry, then that participant may be disqualified, and at Sponsor’s sole discretion, an alternate potential grand prize winner may be randomly selected from among the remaining eligible entries and notified as per the procedures outlined above. 

 

During the winner notification phone call, the potential winner must confirm his/her eligibility, and indicate his/her willingness to accept the designated prize (see below).   If the selected potential grand prize winner does not meet the eligibility requirements, is unable or unwilling to accept the prize, or elects to decline the prize, s/he will be disqualified and, at Sponsor’s discretion and time permitting, an alternate potential grand prize winner will be randomly selected from among all remaining eligible entries and notified as per the procedures outlined above.  Any disqualified participant will not receive any alternate prize substitution or compensation.
