Winner Drawings and Notification

The Prize Winners ("Winners") will be randomly selected in a drawing held on or about August 26th at 1890 Ord Way, Oceanside, CA, 92056, from among all eligible Entries received by Sponsor. To account for non-business calendar days, Sponsor reserves the right to draw multiple Winners on select business days falling before or after certain calendar days.

Winner need not be present to win and will be notified via the valid Email address provided during Entry.

Except where prohibited by law, potential Winners (or his/her parent or legal guardian, if a minor) are required to execute an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release, and a Publicity Release ("Affidavit/Release"). Affidavit/Release must be returned by email within ten (10) days of receipt by potential Winner or potential Winner will be disqualified and an alternate potential Winner will be selected. By returning a completed Affidavit/Release, potential Winners attest to the authenticity of their Entry. If a potential Winner does not respond within ten (10) days of notification, responds with incomplete information, if he/she is found to be ineligible, or if he/she cannot or does not comply with these Official Rules, such potential winner will be disqualified and an alternate potential Winner will be selected.

Winner notification will adhere to the following schedule:

Initial notification and request for Affidavit/Release will be sent to potential Winners by Sweepstakes Administrator within two (2) business days of selecting each potential Winner.

Complete response to Sweepstakes Administrator’s request for Affidavit/Release is required from potential Winner within five (5) days of initial notification.

If no complete response to the initial request for Affidavit/Release is received by Sweepstakes Administrator within five (5) days of initial notification, a reminder email will be sent.

If there is no complete response to the reminder email within five (5) days of being sent, potential Winner will be deemed to have forfeited any and all right, title, and interest in Prize and potential Winner will be notified by email of such occurrence. An alternate potential Winner will then be selected. A maximum of one potential alternate Winner will be drawn for every Prize which, if not awarded as set forth above, will remain the property of Sponsor.
