Administrator will select potential Sweepstakes winners on or around April 1, 2021 in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received through both entry methods combined. The potential winners will be notified by email or text message, depending on method of entry, after the date of the drawing. Each potential winner of any prize will be required to provide to Administrator, within five (5) calendar days of the date on which a request is issued by Administrator, proof of service or family member’s service in the form of a Military ID or other acceptable documentation, and proof of authorization to use the Commissary or Exchange, which may include, but is not limited to,  papers, or potential winner will be disqualified for the applicable prize, and the prize may be awarded to an alternate winner selected in a random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries.

The place of arbitration shall be Oakland County, Michigan unless the Arbitrator requires otherwise.

 

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.
