eligible entries received.
The random drawing decisions are based upon Sponsor’s discretion and interpretation of these Official Rules and
are final and binding in all respects. Any Prize Winner who entered the Sweepstakes via Online Entry must have an
account in good standing upon selection, subject to verification. The Potential Prize Winner will be notified by mail

received in the Entry Period.
