not received by Sponsor in time for the drawing. Proof of entering information at any store does not

4. PRIZE DRAWING AND NOTIFICATION: “Potential Winner” will be selected in a random drawing from
all eligible entries received on or about November 2, 2013, by Sponsor or its designee, the judge of the
Sweepstakes, whose decisions are final and binding on all matters relating to the Sweepstakes. Potential
Winner will be notified by telephone or email (“Prize Notification") and must confirm by telephone or
email within 24 hours of Prize Notification his/her full name and a mailing address ("Mailing
Information"), where Sponsor can send an Affidavit of Eligibility, a W-9 tax form and Liability/Publicity
Release (collectively, the "Sweepstakes Documents"). The mailing address must be a street address (no

Winner will be selected from all eligible entries received. Once Sponsor receives a Potential Winner's
Mailing Information, a set of Sweepstakes Documents will be sent to him/her via overnight mail. Each
Potential Winner (or, in the event that the Potential Winner is an eligible minor, his/her parent or legal
guardian) must sign and return the Sweepstakes Documents within two (2) days of the date of the
Sweepstakes Documents are sent or he/she will forfeit the Prize and an alternate Potential Winner will
be selected. If Potential Winner is an eligible minor, Sweepstakes Documents must be signed by
Potential Winner’s parent or legal guardian. Sponsor will attempt to award each prize to two alternate
Potential Winners following the same procedure, after which the prize will not be awarded. Provided
that the Potential Winner has complied with these Official Rules and meets all of the eligibility
requirements set forth herein, following Sponsor’s timely receipt of the signed Sweepstakes Documents,
Sponsor shall declare the Potential Winner a winner (“Winner”) and award the Prize. Return of any Prize
Notification or Sweepstakes Documents as undeliverable will result in disqualification, an alternate
Potential Winner will be selected, time permitting, from all eligible entries received according to the
process set forth above.
