REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRY: Incomplete, non-compliant or otherwise ineligible entries, or any element thereof, will disqualify an entry.

While you may forward or share with family, friends and direct known contacts, please do not engage in phishing or spamming. Apparent or suspected phishing or spamming, sending of junk communications or the use of any unauthorized method or automated system to participate, or to acquire (unauthentic) entries, ”likes” or “follows”, etc. is prohibited, as is posting content to irrelevant or inappropriate sites to obtain entry, and, if discovered at any time will void the applicable entry and Entrant suspected of using/benefitting from such methods in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion. If an entry, for any reason whatsoever, garners comments that are unpleasant, distasteful, nasty or otherwise inappropriate for the Sponsor community (as solely determined by Sponsor), Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify entry/Entrant and remove any such entry. If you do not have a social media account, you can become a member without charge by simply following the social media platform instructions and accepting the Terms of Use.

PRIZE DRAWINGS & ODDS OF WINNING: A random drawing will be held by Administrator on or about December 8, 2020 from all eligible entries received. Odds of winning the prizes depend on the total number of eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period (including mail-in period if applicable). The potential Prize Winners will be subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules.
AWARDING OF PRIZE: The potential prize winner(s) are subject to verification by Sponsor or Administrator. An Entrant is not a winner of any prize until Entrant’s eligibility as the Sweepstakes winner has been verified, Entrant has been notified that verification is complete, and Entrant has complied with these Official Rules. The potential Prize Winners will be notified by direct message— at the same account through which the social media entry was submitted, telephone call or text message―at the same telephone number included by Entrant in of the mail-in entry (e.g. an online Sweepstakes entry form). One (1) direct message/telephone call/text message attempt will be made after the Sweepstakes Period to reach the potential Prize Winner. If the potential Prize Winner does not respond to Administrator within forty-eight (48) hours of notification they will forfeit the prize, and Administrator will randomly select a second potential Prize Winner for the respective prize/prize level. At the sole discretion of the Sponsor or Administrator, forfeiture of the prize and the selection of an alternate Prize Winner may result from, by way of example only, any of the following: a) the potential Prize Winner’s failure to respond to notification within the specified response period; b) the potential Prize Winner’s failure to provide Administrator with satisfactory proof of age, identity, residence, or completion of required Affidavit or other documentation; c) potential winner is unable, declines or refuses to accept the prize in its entirety pursuant to the terms of these Official Rules and/or Affidavit; d) any other non-compliance with these Official Rules and/or Affidavit.
