  • Twenty (20) potential winners will be selected by a random drawing from all eligible entries to be held by August 5, 2024 following the conclusion of the Promotion Period. Sponsor may, at its option, use publicly available sources to review the background of each potential winner. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any potential winner from receiving the Prize based on such background review if Sponsor determines, in its sole discretion, that awarding the Prize to such potential winner could result in a safety or security risk to any person or persons or could result in the disruption of any event associated with the Promotion. Sponsor will, in its sole discretion, then select one (1) winner from the list of eligible potential winners on the basis of criteria determined and applied by Sponsor to provide for an appropriate range of views, backgrounds, and interests and to secure the safety and regularity of events associated with the Promotion. The winner will be notified by phone or e-mail on August 13, 2024. To claim the Prize, the winner should follow the instructions and comply with the conditions contained in the winner notification. Winner must promptly identify a potential guest to Sponsor, and Sponsor may, at its option, conduct the same background review and process applicable to potential winners. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any potential guest in its sole discretion for the same reasons applicable to a potential winner. In the event that a potential winner does not respond to Sponsor’s attempts to contact the potential winner or is otherwise disqualified such that Sponsor is unable to award them the Prize, Sponsor may select additional potential winners by random drawing from remaining eligible entries.
