(5) WINNER SELECTION:
At approximately 10:00 a.m. on the next business day following the end of the Contest Period, one (1) Entrant will be selected (each, a “Selected Entrant”) by random draw to be eligible to win a Prize. The random draw will take place at the head office of MLSE or such other location in Ontario as the Contest Sponsors may determine. There is a limit of one (1) Prize per Selected Entrant.
Each Selected Entrant for a Prize will be notified of their selection by email. If a Selected Entrant cannot be contacted or fails to respond within twenty-four (24) hours of the first attempt of contact by the Contest Sponsors, they will be considered to have forfeited their Prize and will be disqualified and another Entrant may be selected from the remaining eligible Entries until such time as contact is made with a Selected Entrant or there are no more eligible Entries, whichever comes first (in which case the above-noted process will apply to such alternate Entrant). The Contest Sponsors will not be responsible for failed attempts to contact any Selected Entrant.
(6) CLAIMING YOUR PRIZE
To be declared a winner (“Winner”), each Selected Entrant must answer correctly, without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or otherwise, a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question posed either by telephone or email at the telephone number or email address on the account of record for that Selected Entrant, or on their no-purchase mail-in Entry, as applicable. The Selected Entrant will be required to sign a Declaration, Release and Waiver Form (the “Release Form”) confirming compliance with the Official Rules, acceptance of the Prize as awarded, without substitution, and releasing the Released Parties from any liability in connection with the Prize or the Contest.
If a Selected Entrant does not meet all of the Contest requirements, fails to correctly answer the mathematical skill-testing question, or does not sign and return the Release Form to the Contest Sponsors within the time-frame specified, that Selected Entrant will forfeit their Prize and the Contest Sponsors shall be entitled (but not obligated) to select another Entrant from the remaining eligible Entries until such time as contact is made with an Entrant or there are no more eligible Entries, whichever comes first. This process may continue until each Prize has been awarded or there is insufficient time to permit the awarding of any Prize (in which case the above-noted process will apply to such alternate Entrant). The Contest Sponsors are not responsible, whether as a result of human error or otherwise, for any failure to contact any Selected Entrant. The Contest Sponsors will contact each Winner following receipt of their signed Release Form to arrange for delivery of the respective Prize.
