whose decisions as to the administration and operation of the Instant Win Game and the selection of
potential winners are final and binding in all matters related to the Instant Win Game. There will be seven
hundred (700) random, computer-generated winning times during the Promotion Period. If you are the first
player to play the Instant Win Game at or after one of the randomly-generated times, you will be a potential
instant winner of the prize indicated. Each potential winner of a physical prize will be required to provide
his/her/their mailing address (P.O. Boxes are not permitted), which must be received by Administrator within
five (5) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim his/her prize. If any potential
winner cannot be contacted, or fails to provide any other requested information within the required time
period, potential winner forfeits the prize. If any potential winner cannot be contacted or if prize is returned
as undeliverable, potential winner forfeits prize. In the event that a potential winner of a prize valued over
$25 is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random
drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. There will be three (3) alternate drawings after which
the applicable prize will remain un-awarded. Unclaimed prizes valued at $25 or less will remain unawarded.
