Limit one (1) entry per person, per email address, and per household for the duration of the Sweepstakes Period, regardless of method of entry. Entries received from any person, e-mail address, or household in excess of the stated limitation will be void. Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or by utilizing “bots” or other automated processes, or by any other methods will void that entrant’s entries and disqualify the entrant from the Sweepstakes. All entries become the property of Sponsor and will not be acknowledged or returned.

6. Prize Drawing

On or about December 30th, 2024, the Sponsor will select the potential winner in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received. The odds of being selected depend on the number of total entries received from all participants. The Sponsor will attempt to notify the potential winner via telephone or email on or about January 6th, 2025.

If the potential winner (i) cannot be contacted within five (5) days after the date of the first attempt to contact him/her, or (ii) cannot accept the prize based on federal, state, or local law, or (iii) otherwise cannot or will not comply with reasonable requests for information to fulfill the awarding of the Prize, the Sponsor may select an alternate potential winner in his/her place at random from the remaining non-winning, eligible entries.

If due to a printing, technology, or other error, more potential winners are notified than prizes intended to be awarded, the Sponsor will hold a random drawing among all verified and validated potential winners to determine the “Official Winner.” In no event will more than the stated number of prizes be awarded.

7. Winner Notification

The potential winners will be notified by email, mail, or phone. The potential winner will be required to complete, electronically sign, and submit a Declaration of Compliance within five (5) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim his/her prize. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, or fails to submit the Declaration of Compliance within the required time period (if applicable), or prize is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits the prize. Potential winners must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. In the event that a potential winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Only three (4) alternate drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded. The prize will be fulfilled approximately 8-10 weeks after the notification of the Official Winner. Official Winner information can be found at https://www.oowinc.com/giveawayresults/.
