b.) Each week, for 8 weeks beginning the week of September 25, 2020, we will select 25 Eligible Entries by random draw (each, a “Random Winner”). 

c.) In any random draw, if a Random Winner is not an Eligible Entry (if the entry does not comply with these Official Rules and Regulations, which includes the eligibility requirements in section 1 and all other requirements), a new Eligible Entry will be randomly selected until all 25 Random Winners for that week are Eligible Entries.

e.) Once a Random Winner has been selected to win a weekly prize, the person who is the Random Winner will not be eligible to win any subsequent draw.

f.) All 25 Random Winners will be removed from future random draws, and any other entries that a winning person may have submitted will be ineligible for any future random draw during the Contest. Only 1 prize will be awarded per person during the Contest.

The odds of winning are related to the number of entries that we receive and the number of entries that you submit. The odds of any one person winning a prize will decrease as the number of entries we receive increases. Each winning person will be ineligible for further draws during the Contest. No person may win more than one prize in the Contest, regardless of the number of entries submitted.
