No Purchase Necessary Game Plays – During the Promotion Period, Participants may get up to two Game plays per Day without making a purchase by visiting https://bit.ly/3JSEVUZ and following the instructions.

Limit 17 total Game plays per Participant and per Program account per Week.  As a result of the limit of 17 total Game plays per Participant and per Program account per Week, a Participant may not receive Game plays for what would otherwise be completion of a Single Purchase Challenge, Weekly Challenge, or when requesting a No Purchase Necessary Game Play, in each case if the receipt of such Game play would result in the Participant or the applicable Program account receiving more than 17 Game plays in the corresponding Week.

To play Game plays and see if they are an Instant Win prize winner or have been awarded a Rare Badge or Common Badge, as defined more fully below, Participants must log into their Program account during the Promotion Period, locate their available Game plays, check the box to agree to these Official Rules (if this is the Participant’s first time playing the Game), and follow the on-screen instructions.  For each Game play, once a Participant has completed the requirements in the on-screen instructions, the Participant will be informed if: (i) the Participant has won an Instant Win prize, subject to verification of eligibility, (ii) the Participant has received a Collect-and-Win badge, or (iii) the Participant has not won either a Collect-and-Win badge or an Instant Win prize.  If a Participant receives a message that contains any content other than an Instant Win prize or a Collect-and-Win badge, then the Game play is not a winning play and the Participant is not a winner as a result of that Game play.

Collect-and-Win Prize Winner Determination:  There are three badges that must be collected for each of the Collect-and-Win prizes available.  Two of the badges required for a Collect-and-Win prize will be awarded based on the odds of 1:10 (each a “Common Badge”).  There is only one of the third badge (each, a “Rare Badge”) available for each Collect-and-Win prize, and the Rare Badges will be awarded as described below.  If a Participant collects all three badges for a particular Collect-and-Win prize, that Participant will be the potential winner of that Collect-and-Win prize, subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules.  If a Participant is a potential Collect-and-Win prize winner, the Participant will be provided with instructions on further obligations as a potential winner under these Official Rules and how to claim the applicable Collect-and-Win prize. 

 

Instant Win Prize Winner and Rare Badge Winner Determination:  One computer generated winning time will be randomly generated for each Instant Win prize and each Rare Badge available in this Promotion.  If a Participant is the first Participant to play the Game at or after one of the randomly generated times, that Participant will be a potential winner of the Instant Win prize indicated or the recipient of the Rare Badge indicated, subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules.  Odds of winning an Instant Win prize or being a Rare Badge recipient depend on the total number of eligible Game plays and the time and date upon which they are entered. There is no guarantee that all prizes will be awarded

No more than the number of prizes set forth in these Official Rules will be awarded. ALL POTENTIAL WINNING GAME PLAYS ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY SPONSOR, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING. A "SCREEN SHOT" IS NOT PROOF OR EVIDENCE OF A WINNING GAME PLAY AND/OR PRIZE. A PARTICIPANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE, EVEN IF THE PLATFORM SHOULD SO INDICATE, UNLESS AND UNTIL SAID PARTICIPANT’S ELIGIBILITY AND THE POTENTIAL WINNING GAME PLAY HAVE BEEN VERIFIED, SAID PARTICIPANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THAT VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE, AND ALL REQUIRED PRIZE VERIFICATION FORMS, IF ANY, HAVE BEEN EXECUTED.  SPONSOR WILL NOT ACCEPT SCREEN SHOTS OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF ALLEGED WINNING GAME PLAYS IN LIEU OF ITS VALIDATION PROCESS. ANY GAME PLAY THAT OCCURS AFTER THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED FOR ANY REASON IS DEEMED A DEFECTIVE GAME PLAY AND IS VOID AND WILL NOT BE HONORED.  The submission of a prize claim is solely the responsibility of the Participant.
