Each entry has an equal chance to win. Incomplete entries and/or entries containing inaccurate entrant information will be void, at Sponsor’s sole discretion. In the event of any dispute regarding the identity of an entrant who submitted an online entry, the authorized account holder of the email address used for the entry at the time of entry will be deemed the entrant. “Authorized account holder” is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an email address by an internet access provider, online service provider, or other organization (e.g. business, educational institute) that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address. Any potential winner may be requested to provide Sponsor with proof that such winner is the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the winning entry.

5. DRAWING: Potential winner(s) will be selected by random drawing from all eligible entries on or about seven (7) days after each Sweepstakes Deadline Date by Sponsor, whose decisions are final in all respects.
