DRAWING:
On or about October 15, 2023, one (1) potential winner will be chosen by random selection and notified by e-mail. The same e-mail address used to enter the Sweepstakes will be used to notify the potential winner. Odds of winning will depend on the total number of eligible entries received.
CLAIMING PRIZE:
Potential winner must sign and return a Declaration of Eligibility and, except where prohibited by law, a Liability/Publicity Release within ten (10) days of notification, or their prize may be forfeited. Winner will also be required to provide proof of age and residency by submitting a photo ID. If the potential winner does not timely return the Declaration and Release, or if information contained within the timely returned Declaration and Release deems the potential winner ineligible, the potential winner will be disqualified, and another random drawing will take place with an alternate potential winner selected. Such process will continue until a potential winner is deemed eligible to receive the Prize.
Because the Prize is valued at $600.00 or over, as required by law, Administrator will report the value of the Prize and year received by the winner to the Internal Revenue Service by filing a Form 1099 using winner’s tax identification number.
