Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received.
GENERAL PRIZE CONDITIONS: Each Grand Prize will be awarded only if the potential applicable Grand Prize winners fully comply with these Official Rules. All portions of the Grand Prizes are non-assignable and non-transferable. All details and other restrictions of the Grand Prizes not specified in these Official Rules will be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. The Grand Prize winners shall each be solely responsible for all federal, state and/or local taxes, and the reporting consequences thereof, and for any other fees or costs associated with the applicable prize. If required by law, Sponsor reserves the right to withhold and remit to the appropriate taxing authorities the amount of any taxes due.
