Limit:  Limit one (1) play per person per twenty-four (24) hours (an Entrant may only play with one email address– additional plays by the same person via additional email addresses will be void and subject Entrant to disqualification).

6. Winning/Odds:  One (1) random, computer-generated winning time will be created by the Official Promotion computer system.

To become the prize winner, the potential prize winner must comply with these Official Rules, and upon Notification, must complete and return the Required Documents as defined under section 8 of these Official Rules in order to claim the prize.

The awarding of the prize is subject to verification by the Sponsor whose decisions are made based at their sole discretion.  Sponsor’s interpretation of these Official Rules is final and binding in all respects. The potential prize winner is not a prize winner of any prize until his/her eligibility and the potential prize-winning play has been verified by Sponsor.

Prize Claim: Except where prohibited, the potential prize winner will be required to complete, execute and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability and Publicity Release (the “Release”) and an IRS Form W-9 (“W-9 Form”) (if applicable) and any other documents required by Sponsor (collectively, the “Required Documents”) within three (3) days from receipt of Notification. If the potential prize winner fails to return the Required Documents within the time period required, or if the Notification is returned as undeliverable, such potential prize winner forfeits his/her right to the prize and the prize will not be awarded, even if the disqualified potential prize winner’s name may have been publicly announced. If it is determined by the Sponsor or Administrator, in its sole discretion, that the potential prize winner is not eligible or otherwise not in compliance with these Official Rules, the potential prize winner forfeits his/her right to the prize and the prize will not be awarded.  In the event that the potential prize winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor/ Administrator shall have no liability or obligation to such individual.
