The Draw:
A random draw determines each winner. The odds of winning a prize will depend upon the total number of entries received. A representative of the Sponsor will notify the selected entrant by message, phone and/or email, such method to be determined in the Sponsor’s sole discretion, within approximately one (1) week of the draw dates. If a selected entrant cannot be reached within ten (10) days (or such other deadline as may be stipulated by the Sponsor in its sole discretion) or if any Contest-related communication is rejected, faulty, or returned as undeliverable (as determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion), that selected entrant may be disqualified and another entry may be randomly selected. This process will be repeated if the new entrant cannot be reached until the representative of the Sponsor is able to successfully contact a selected entrant. Unless otherwise noted, the selected entrant will be announced publicly using the social media channel on which the Contest was launched. The Contest Entities are not responsible for and will not be liable for late, lost, damaged, intercepted, misdirected, or unsuccessful efforts to notify the selected entrant.
