 6.        Prize Drawing

            On August 25, 2022, the Sponsor will select potential winners in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received. The odds of being selected depend on the number of entries received. The Sponsor will attempt to notify the potential winner via telephone on or about August 25, 2022. If the potential winner cannot be contacted that day or is unable to come to receive the prize at 8:30pm on August 25, 2022 at 1203 Elm Ave, Norman, OK 73072, the Sponsor may select an alternate potential winner in his/her place at random from the remaining non-winning, eligible entries.

            The potential winners will be notified by phone. The Grand Prize winner (parent/legal guardian if a minor in his/her state of residence) will be required to complete, sign and submit an Affidavit of Eligibility in order to claim his/her prize. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, or fails to submit the Affidavit of Eligibility within the required time period (if applicable), or unable to come and receive the prize, potential winner forfeits prize. If the potential winner is at least 18 but still considered a minor in his/her jurisdiction of residence, Sponsor reserves the right to award the prize in the name of his/her parent or legal guardian, who will be required to sign the Affidavit of Eligibility on the potential winner’s behalf and fulfill any other requirements imposed on winner set forth herein. The potential winner must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements.
