and residence) are void. Sponsor and its agents are not responsible for lost, late, or misdirected entries

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

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

Information"), where Sponsor can send an Affidavit of Eligibility, a W-9 tax form and Liability/Publicity

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.
