  1. PRIZE AWARD

Grand Prize : On or before Monday, May 4, 2015 at approximately 2:00 pm ET in Toronto, Ontario, the Grand Prize draw will be held and one (1) potential winner will be randomly selected from eligible entries received.

Odds of winning the Grand Prize will depend on the total number of eligible entries received during the Contest Period.

A representative of the Contest Sponsor will contact the potential winner of the Grand Prize by email and/or telephone on or before May 8, 2015 with further information on how to be confirmed as the winner and claim the Grand Prize. If the selected entrant cannot be reached, for whatever reason, by this date, the Grand Prize will be forfeited by that potential winner and another entrant may be randomly selected (from eligible entries received) at the sole and absolute discretion of the Contest Sponsor.

Before being declared a winner of an Instant or Grand Prize, a potential winner must correctly answer, unaided, a time limited mathematical skill-testing question and where applicable, complete, sign and return the Contest Sponsor’s Declaration and Release Form by the date indicated on the form (the “Prize Claim Date”). The skill-testing question for potential winners of the Instant Prizes will be administered online and the skill-testing question for the potential winner of the Grand Prize will be administered by telephone at a pre-arranged mutually convenient time.

Instant Prizes: During the Contest Period, 400 random times will be selected via a computerized randomizer program (each, a “Winning Time”). Each entry which is entered on, or most closely following, a Winning Time will initiate an onscreen message identifying the entrant as a potential winner of one of the Instant Prizes.

Odds of being a potential winner of an Instant Prize will depend upon date and time of entry and the number of eligible entries received.

Following the onscreen notification of being a potential winner of an Instant Prize, the potential winner must correctly answer, unaided, a time limited mathematical skill-testing question and where applicable, download, complete, sign and return via email, facsimile or regular mail, the Contest Sponsor’s Declaration and Release Form to the Contest Sponsor as outlined on the Declaration and Release form by the Prize Claim Date.

Instant Prizes will only be awarded as noted in the on screen notification. Any discrepancy between the Instant Prize listed in the on screen Instant Prize notification or on the Declaration and Release form, will default to the Instant Prize listed in the Contest database.
