entries. Each envelope is deemed a single entry.
3. Each entry must be submitted in an envelope no larger than 7 ½ x 10 ½ inches.
Non-winning tickets submitted in a larger envelope or in a box or other container are
invalid entries and subject to disqualification at any time after receipt by SCEL.
Affixing the appropriate postage is the responsibility of the entrant.
4. For each entry envelope, the entrant must complete the back of at least one nonwinning ticket with his or her name, address (including city, state, and zip

6. SCEL assumes no responsibility for and will not attempt to locate, verify receipt of, or
validate any SCEL instant game ticket or other item that is submitted for entry in this
Promotion. Winning tickets should not be submitted but inclusion of a winning ticket
will not disqualify an otherwise valid entry. The risk of loss for the misdelivery, late
delivery, or failure of delivery for any entry mailed to SCEL remains with the player.

randomly select numbered containers used for entry storage. The entries will then be
placed into the draw container for selection.
4. At each draw, SCEL Security personnel will draw one hundred (100) entries
(“selected entrants”), not including alternates and entries that are disqualified. Entries
that do not contain a complete and legible ticket, with a handwritten signature as
required by Paragraph C4, will be disqualified by SCEL Security personnel at the
time the entry is drawn or after the conclusion of the draw. At least ten (10)
alternates will be drawn and if needed an alternate shall replace a disqualified entry
in the order that the alternates were drawn.
5. Each draw will be conducted under the supervision of an independent auditor who
will audit the draw and will certify that draw procedures were followed. The draw will
occur at SCEL headquarters at 1333 Main Street, Columbia, South Carolina 29201.

size of an envelope, legibility of an entry, effort to notify an entrant, destruction of
entries or a decision to disqualify a selected entrant is deemed not to be subject to a
grievance under these Rules.

aggrieved by any aspect of this Promotion or any application or any interpretations of
the Rules. Any person claiming to be aggrieved must file a written notice with the

grounds for the grievance. The grievance must be received by SCEL within fifteen
(15) days after the draw relating to the grievance. Any grievance filed after this
deadline will be deemed untimely.

delay any aspect of this Promotion or awarding of any prize.
5. By accepting a prize, each winner, his or her respective heirs, legal representatives,
and assigns, agree to indemnify, defend, release, and discharge the South Carolina
