6. Winner Selection: All qualified entries received during each prize Entry Sub-Period will be pooled together, and drawing of winners will occur as follows:

For each Entry Sub-Period, one (1) potential prize winner will be chosen at random from among all eligible entries received during the Entry Sub-Period. There will be a total of eighteen (18) Drawings, one for each Entry Sub-Period, which will take place within 24 hours of the end of each Entry Sub-Period.

The potential Drawing prize winners will be notified by Twitter Direct Message (DM) after each Drawing. The potential Drawing winners must reply to the notification with any requested information within five (5) days of the time the win notification was sent. Potential prize winners may be required to sign and return to Sponsor, within ten (10) days of the date notice is sent, a confirmation of an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability and Publicity Release (if a legal resident of the United States) (“Affidavit”) or a Declaration of Compliance (if a legal resident of Canada) (“Declaration”) (except where prohibited) in order to claim his/her prize. If a potential winner of any prize cannot be contacted, fails to respond to the notification within five (5) days (if applicable), or fails to sign and return the Affidavit or Declaration within the required time period (if applicable), he/she forfeits the applicable prize.

Additionally, if a potential winner is from Canada, he/she will be required to correctly answer and return, within ten (10) days from the date the Declaration is sent, a mathematical skill testing question to be answered without any assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or otherwise, in order to be eligible to receive a prize. In the event that the potential winner fails to correctly answer and/or return the skills test (if applicable), or if a potential winner is disqualified for any other reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate potential winner in a random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries.

If for any reason a prize cannot be awarded as contemplated by these Official Rules, then Sponsor will conduct a “Last Chance” drawing on or about thirty (30) days after the close of the Entry Period. Any prize that could not be awarded will be included in the Last Chance drawing, and the potential winner of that prize will be selected at random from among all remaining eligible entries. If after three attempts to award a prize a winner cannot be confirmed, that prize will not be awarded. In the event that an entrant under the age of majority in his/her state, province or territory of residence is selected as eligible to win a prize, the prize will be awarded to that entrant’s parent or legal guardian. Limit: one (1) prize per person or Twitter handle. The odds of winning a prize depend upon the number of eligible entries which are received.

Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. If any provision of the Official Rules is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, then the Official Rules shall be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or unenforceable provision was not contained therein.
