Sweepstakes Entry Period. Selected winners will be contacted using the telephone number,
and/or email address provided when completing the survey and may be awarded the prize
(subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with the terms of these Official Rules).
Potential winners will be notified approximately one (1) day after the prize drawing. Failure to
respond to the initial verification contact within ten (10) days of notification or return of email
notification as undeliverable after three (3) attempts may, in Sponsors sole discretion, result in
disqualification. Odds of winning the prize depend on the number of eligible entries received
during the Sweepstakes Entry Period but will be no more than 1:300.
