3. HOW TO ENTER: There are two ways to enter the Sweepstakes. To enter by making a donation, visit https://teamlauren.accelraising.com from a computer, tablet, or Smartphone and make a donation to a participant of your choice.  On-line entrants will receive one entry for each $10 donated. To enter without a payment or donation, print the entry form for the Sweepstakes, available through the link at  https://teamlauren.accelraising.com/event/Sweepstakesrules (the “Entry Form”). Then complete the Entry Form in its entirety by providing all required information and submit your Entry Form in accordance with the directions during the applicable Entry Period (hereafter referred to as “entry” or “entries”). Each mail-in entry must be mailed separately, in a letter size #10 envelop, and only one entry per envelope will be accepted. Mail-in entries must postmarked by July 29 and be received by October 16.  Any use of automated, robotic, macro, programmed, or similar quick-entry programs is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of an entrant, the entrant will be deemed to be the person named in the online entry method or through the Entry Form, as determined solely at the discretion of the Sweepstakes Administrator. There is a maximum of 100 entries per entrant, regardless of entry method.  Neither Sponsor nor Sweepstakes Administrator will correspond regarding receipt of entries. All entries submitted become the sole property of Sponsor and will not be returned.

 

4. SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION OF WINNER:  The Sweepstakes Administrator will randomly select a winner on or about October 16 at approximately 05:00 pm (PT), from among all eligible entries received by conducting a “Helicopter Drop” through which each eligible entry will be assigned a combination of a color and a number.  Numbered and colored golf balls will be dropped from a helicopter above a golf course hole.  The colored ball and numbered ball that first enter the golf hole will determine the winning entry with the corresponding assigned color and number. If either a colored ball or numbered ball does not enter the hole, then the next closest colored or numbered ball to the hole, as determined solely by Sweepstakes Administrator, will be used to determine the winning entry.  Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received during the corresponding Entry Period. Winner will be notified by phone and/or email, at Sweepstakes Administrator’s sole discretion. If the Sweepstakes Administrator attempts to contact a potential winner via email, then such potential winner must respond to such email, and provide all requested information, within the time specified in the email or such person may be disqualified and an alternate potential winner may be selected via a random drawing, if time permits. All notification requirements, as well as other requirements within these Official Rules, will be enforced. Limit one prize per person per household.  Sweepstakes Administrator may select an alternate method of determining the winner that will be comparably random to the “Helicopter Drop” or a random drawing.

 

5. PRIZE:  TBD. Sponsors reserve the right to change prizes at their sole discretion for a prize of substantially equal or greater value.

If a potential prizewinner is deemed a minor in his/her state of residence, then the parent/legal guardian of such minor must also sign any documents required herein. The Affidavit/Release and any Liability and Publicity Releases must be returned by the deadline established in such documents. If a potential winner fails to return such documents within the time required, then the potential winner may be disqualified and an alternate potential winner may be selected via a random drawing by the Sweepstakes Administrator, time permitting.

In the event an entrant is deemed ineligible or disqualified for any reason under the provisions of the Official Rules, then an alternate potential winner will be selected via a random drawing from among all eligible entries.  If an eligible winner cannot be verified after a subsequent random drawing to determine an alternate, then the Sponsor may opt not to award the prize.
