binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Administrator will randomly select the potential

or the prize is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits his/her/their prize. Receiving a prize
is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules. In the event that a potential winner is

the Sweepstakes, if it is possible. No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded. In the event
that production, technical, seeding, programming or any other reasons cause more than the stated

eligible prize claims.
