If you do not have a Facebook account, visit www.facebook.com to create a free account. Facebook entries must comply with Facebook’s Terms and Policies (www.facebook.com/policies).   

In the event of a dispute as to the identity of an entrant, the authorized account holder of the account used to enter will be deemed to be the entrant. Entries specifying an invalid, non-working, or inactive account will be disqualified and ineligible to win.

By entering into the Promotion, the entrant agrees that the Sponsor may use the entrant’s name and photograph and/or video images of an interview with the Sponsor for promotional and marketing purposes, without compensation to the entrant, in the event the entrant is selected as the winner.

3. DRAWING/NOTIFICATION AND VERIFICATION OF WINNER: Sponsor will randomly select a total of two (2) winners, from a random drawing from among all eligible entrants. The drawings will take place no later than [August 21, 2026]. The odds of winning the prize depends on the total number of qualified entrants. The winner will be notified via Facebook direct message. Once notified, the winner is required to keep the results of the prize drawing confidential until such time as Sponsor publicly discloses the results of the prize drawing.

Except where legally prohibited, the winner must, if requested, sign and return, within forty-eight (48) hours of being notified, an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability & Publicity Release in order to claim their prize.

Return of any prize notification as undeliverable or the inability to contact a potential winner via email may result in disqualification and selection of an alternate winner. If a potential winner is unavailable to accept the prize within forty-eight (48) hours, or if the potential winner fails to comply with these Official Rules as determined by Sponsor and/or Administrator in their sole discretion, the potential winner will be disqualified, and an alternate potential winner may be selected in his/her place in a random drawing from all remaining eligible entries.

Verification of Potential Winners:  ALL POTENTIAL WINNERS ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY SPONSOR, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE PROMOTION.  AN ENTRANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE UNLESS AND UNTIL ENTRANT’S ELIGIBILITY HAS BEEN VERIFIED AND ENTRANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THAT VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE.
