Winner Notification

Winners will be selected on or about September 14, 2005, by random drawing from among the eligible entries received, by an independent judging agency, the decisions of which shall be final and binding. Potential prize winners will be notified by phone, and/or mail. If a potential winner cannot be reached after a reasonable effort has been exerted, if he/she is found to be ineligible, if he/she cannot or does not comply with these Official Rules, and/or if his/her prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, that potential winner will be disqualified and an alternate potential winner may be selected from the remaining eligible Entries, at Sponsor's sole discretion. If the alternate potential winner is found to be ineligible, or if he or she has not complied with these Official Rules or declines a prize for any reason prior to award, another alternate winner will be selected until all of the prizes are awarded. In the event more winner notifications are issued, or more winning prize claims are received, than the number of prizes set forth in these rules due to computer, printing, seeding, human or other error or problem, a random drawing will take place from among all eligible prize claims for prize(s) at issue to award the proper number of prizes as set forth in these rules. No more than the stated number of prizes per these Official Rules and Regulations will be awarded.
