DRAWS
Upon the conclusion of the Contest Period, there will be a random draw, at approximately 3:00pm EST, on July 31st, 2017, to select fifteen (15) entrants to be the potential winners of the prizes.
For each draw, the Sponsor, or its designated representatives, will contact the selected entrant via Facebook message. The selected entrant must respond within 24 hours of being so contacted, by sending a private message with their phone number. The Sponsor, or its designated representatives, will then contact the selected entrant via phone within 24 hours, and will administer, at a mutually convenient time (no later than 10 days following the first contact), a mathematical skill-testing question.
To be declared a winner, a selected entrant must first (a) correctly answer, on the first attempt, the time-limited, skill-testing mathematical question without the assistance of any person and without the use of any calculating device; and (b) sign and return (within the time specified) a declaration and release form satisfactory to the Sponsor.
If any selected contestant is ineligible, incorrectly answers the mathematical skill-testing question or cannot be reached within the times specified, or return the completed declaration and release form within the times specified, the selected entrant will be disqualified and an alternate entrant will be selected in accordance with the process set out above, until there is a winner or there are no more entries for that week.
The odds of winning a prize depend on the total number of eligible entries received during the contest duration.
