Odds of winning a prize depend on the number of entries received by Sponsor during the applicable daily Entry Period for which the applicable drawing is conducted. A selected entrant must comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. A potential winner will, as applicable depending on the method of entry used by an entrant for the applicable drawing, be notified by text to the mobile device number used to enter for such drawing or by email to the email address used to enter for such drawing. A potential winner will be required to execute and return to Sponsor an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release, and, except where prohibited by law, a Publicity Release (an “Affidavit/Release”) in the form(s) provided by Sponsor in order to claim the potential winner’s prize.

Sponsor is not responsible for the failure of a potential winner to receive any of Sponsor’s notifications or documents for any reason, or for the inability of a potential winner to respond to any of Sponsor’s notifications or return any required documents for any reason. The announcement by Sponsor of an entrant as a potential winner (including, without limitation on any Sweepstakes website or other Sponsor promotional collateral) is not confirmation of an entrant as a verified winner, and a potential winner must complete and satisfy all requirements of Sponsor as set forth above or otherwise in these Official Rules in order to be verified and declared an actual winner.
