  1. Prize

One (1) winner will receive [PRIZE DESCRIPTION] with an approximate verifiable retail value (“ARV”) of $XXX.00. Total ARV of all prizes: $XXX.00. The prize is awarded “as is” with no warranty of any kind, express or implied. The prize is non-transferable and may not be substituted, except that the Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value if the advertised prize becomes unavailable. No cash equivalent will be offered. The prize does not include alcohol. 

  1. Winner Selection and Notification

The winner will be selected in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received during the Giveaway Period. The drawing will be conducted by the Sponsor on or about July 24, 2026. The odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received. 

The potential winner will be notified by email at the address provided at entry within five business days of the drawing. The potential winner must respond to the notification within five business days to claim the prize. If the potential winner cannot be contacted, does not respond within the stated period, is found to be ineligible, or declines the prize, the prize may be forfeited and an alternate winner may be selected in a subsequent random drawing. 

  1. Taxes

All federal, state, and local taxes on the prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. Because the ARV of the prize is under the applicable reporting threshold, the Sponsor does not anticipate issuing an IRS Form 1099-MISC; however, the winner remains responsible for reporting and paying any tax due on the prize.
