  3. Notification and Verification of Potential Winners:  The potential Promotion winner(s) will be notified by Instagram, mail, email, or phone on or about 7/16/2024.  If a potential winner(s) of any prize cannot be contacted within 48 Hours of Sponsor’s sending a notification, or a prize is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits that prize.  In the event that a potential winner of a prize is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will attempt to award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries.  There will be 1 alternate drawing, after which the prize may remain unawarded, in Sponsor’s sole discretion.  Unclaimed Prizes will not be awarded. Sponsor is not responsible for a potential winner not receiving a prize notification for any reason.

Failure to sign and return the affidavit, release, or any other document required by Sponsor within ten (10) days, or to comply with any term or condition of these Official Rules, may result in a potential winner’s disqualification, and the forfeiture of their interest in the prize. Prizes not claimed by eligible winners in accordance with these Official Rules within two (2) months of Sponsor’s receipt of the necessary releases and consents will not be awarded and will remain the property of Sponsor. If the winner is permitted to include a guest(s) as part of a prize, the guest(s) must be 21 years of age or older and must also complete a Liability release. Should a potential winner be unwilling or unable to accept a prize for any reason, the prize will be forfeited in its entirety and an alternate potential winner will be randomly selected, if feasible.
