Sponsor will attempt to notify a potential Winning Player by email, SMS and/or telephone call using contact information provided at the time of participation in its sole discretion. Sponsor is not responsible if a potential Winning Player 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.

Odds of a potential Winning Player 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.

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.
