On or about the Monthly Random Drawing Date noted above, one (1) entry will be randomly selected from all eligible entries received throughout the corresponding Monthly Promotion Period and will be eligible to win a Monthly Prize, subject to verification of eligibility. Odds of being selected as a potential winner depend upon the number of entries received throughout the Monthly Promotion Period.
Sponsor will attempt to notify a potential winner by email, SMS and/or telephone call using contact information provided at the time of registration to the Services in its sole discretion. Sponsor is not responsible if a potential winner does not receive his or her winner notification or corresponding prize because an attempted notification does not go through because of call blocking features or for any other reason. Confirmation of the identity of the potential winner shall be undertaken by Sponsor, by whatever means Sponsor shall deem appropriate. Once a potential winner accepts the prize, a binding legal contract is made for the transfer of the prize between Sponsor and the potential winner subject to the potential winner complying with all of the terms in the Official Rules.
Grand Prize Selection. Prior to the start of the Promotion Period, the Administrator will pre-select exactly one (1) 4-digit number from the range of 0000-9999. Once a Monthly Prize winner’s eligibility has been confirmed, Administrator will compare the pre-selected number to the last four (4) digits of the phone number used by the confirmed Monthly Prize winner to register for the Services or to participate via the free method of entry. If the last four (4) digits of the phone number used by a confirmed Monthly Prize winner to register for the Services or to participate via the free method of entry exactly matches the 4-digit number pre-selected by the Administrator, he/she will win the Grand Prize. Odds of a Monthly Prize winner winning the grand prize are 1 in 10,000. If a match is not exactly made during the Promotion Period, the Grand Prize will not be awarded. Only one (1) Grand Prize is available. Once the Grand Prize is awarded, only Monthly Prizes will be available to be won.
F. Award of Prize
Except where prohibited, the potential Winning Player must sign and return to Sponsor, within ten (10) days of notice (or such shorter time as exigencies may require) or attempted notice being sent, an affidavit/declaration of eligibility, liability release and, unless prohibited by law, a publicity release (collectively, the "Prize Claim Documents") in order to claim a prize. If a potential Winning Player cannot be contacted within ten (10) days after the first attempt to contact him/her or if he/she fails to sign and return the Prize Claim Documents within the required time period, the potential Winning Player will be disqualified, and forfeit any prize and an alternate Winning Player may be selected, at Sponsor’s sole discretion. Additionally, if a resident of Canada is selected as a potential Winning Player, the potential Winning Player must first correctly answer, without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or otherwise, a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question in order to be confirmed as a Winning Player. Sponsor, in its sole discretion, will attempt to contact up to four (4) potential Winning Players in accordance with the above procedure, after which the prize in question may go unawarded if it remains unclaimed. If any potential Winning Player is a Minor in his/her state, province, or territory of primary residence, at Sponsor’s option, the prize either will be awarded in the name of the parent or legal guardian of such Minor and/or the parent or legal guardian of such Minor will be required to ratify and sign any required Prize Claim Documents on behalf of such Minor, and provide a parental consent in form and substance suitable to Sponsor, in Sponsor's sole discretion. Delivery of the prize requires a street address located within the United States (excluding Florida, Georgia, New York and Puerto Rico), Washington D.C, or Canada (excluding Quebec). All federal, state, provincial, territorial and local taxes and duties (and the reporting consequences thereof, and other expenses not specifically identified as included as part of a prize) are the sole responsibility of the Winning Player.
