On Wednesday, February 15, 2023, the Sponsor will select five winners from all eligible entries via random drawing after 5:00 pm (Pacific Standard Time). The odds of being selected depend on the number of entries received.

Winner Notification

The potential winners will be notified by Facebook messenger and as a reply to their post comment by one of the contest coordinators. We will also attempt to reach you by email or phone if that information is accessible on Facebook by no later than Friday, February 24, 2023. If any potential winner cannot be contacted or fails to submit the Declaration of Compliance within the required time, or the prize is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits the prize and an alternative winner will be selected. Potential winners must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. In the event that a potential winner fails to respond when contacted or is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternative winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Only three (3) alternative drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded. Prizes will be fulfilled approximately 4-6 weeks after the conclusion of the Contest.

Failure by the Sponsor to enforce any provision of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
