If a potential prizewinner is found ineligible or fails to comply with these Official Rules, that individual’s claim to the prize is forfeited and an alternate randomly drawn eligible entrant will be contacted.
Odds of winning a Challenge Drawing prize are determined by total number of eligible entries received by respective Challenge Drawing end dates. Odds of winning the Grand Prize are determined by total number of eligible entries received by the Master Promotion Period end date.
In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of an entrant who has entered online, the entry will be deemed submitted by the authorized account holder of the e-mail address provided. An authorized account holder is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, or other organization that is responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain name associated with the submitted e-mail address.

Grand Prize winner will be required to provide a valid Social Security number for tax purposes. Grand Prize winner will be issued an IRS form 1099 for the Grand Prize based on the actual ARV.

At its sole discretion, the Administering Agency may require a tentative Challenge Drawing prizewinner to execute an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability Release and Publicity Release (collectively, “Affidavit/Release”). If Administering Agency chooses to notify a tentative Challenge Drawing prizewinner rather than sending the prize by mail or other courier service, with no prior notice, and that tentative prizewinner cannot be reached within three (3) calendar days from the date of first notification attempt, such person will be disqualified and an alternate entry will be randomly drawn.
If required, Affidavit/Release must be returned to the Administering Agency (L.A. Promo, 302 Fairview Road, Suite P, Ojai, CA 93023) within five (5) business days of receipt of the Affidavit/Release. A disqualification may result and an alternate entry randomly drawn if the Affidavit/Release is not returned to the Administering Agency within the specified time.
