  1. Prize Drawing

On or about April 31st , 2019, the Sponsor will select potential winners in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received. The odds of being selected depend on the number of entries received. The Sponsor will attempt to notify the potential winner via Direct Messaging or email on or about May 5th, 2019. If the potential winner cannot be contacted within seven (7) days after the date of the first attempt to contact him/her, the Sponsor may select an alternate potential winner in his/her place at random from the remaining non-winning, eligible entries. If a Canadian resident wins a prize, that person must also answer correctly a mathematical skill-testing question without the benefit of any calculating devices before the prize will be awarded.

Each potential winner (parent/legal guardian if a minor in his/her state/province of residence) will be required to complete, sign and submit a Declaration of Compliance within five (5) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, to claim his/her prize.

If a potential winner cannot be contacted, or fails to submit the Declaration of Compliance within the required time period (if applicable), or prize is returned as undeliverable, potential winner forfeits prize. If the potential winner is at least 18 but still considered a minor in his/her jurisdiction of residence, Sponsor reserves the right to award the prize in the name of his/her parent or legal guardian, who will be required to sign the Declaration of Compliance on the potential winner’s behalf and fulfill any other requirements imposed on winner set forth herein.
