Each potential winner must complete this process within 24 hours from the date of the Notification or prize may be forfeited.

If a potential winner is found to be ineligible; is not in compliance with these Official Rules; declines to accept the prize; or if the Notification or prize is returned as undeliverable, the prize will be forfeited and, in the Sponsor’s sole discretion, may or may not be awarded to an alternate winner selected at random from the remaining pool of eligible entrants during the Contest Period.
