Selected Recipient will be notified by email, telephone, or personal message at the sole discretion of Sponsor or Sponsor’s representative. Selected Recipient will be required to respond (as directed) to the notification within 48 hours of attempted notification.

Selected Recipients will be required to sign and return a Declaration of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release (“Declaration”) and any other documents Sponsor or Sponsor’s representative may require, within 48 hours of receipt of the Declaration. Failure to timely return a signed Declaration or other required documents or the return of any prize notification as undeliverable will result in Prize forfeiture.
