4. SELECTION OF WINNER / ODDS OF WINNING
Selection of Winner. On or about 06/20/2023 EST (the "Drawing Date"), Administrator will select the potential Raffle winner ("Potential Winner") in accordance with these Official Rules. The Administrator's database computer is the official timekeeping device for the Raffle. The Potential Winner will be selected by random drawing from all eligible entries received by the Administrator during the Raffle Entry Period. The Potential Winner will be notified by email and/or by telephone on or about the Drawing Date, using the email address or telephone number provided with the selected entry, and will be conditionally awarded the Raffle Prize (hereinafter defined) subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with the terms and conditions of these Official Rules. If a Potential Winner does not respond within 24 hours after the first notification attempt, or if the prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such Potential Winner, such Potential Winner may be disqualified and an alternate Potential Winner may be selected. The notification will include instructions for how to contact the Administrator to provide name, address and other information that may be required to complete validation of eligibility and delivery of prize. No liability is assumed for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted, or not received by a Potential Winner for any reason. At Administrator’s discretion, a background check ("Background Check") may be performed with respect to the Potential Winner as part of the process to confirm any Potential Winner's eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules and the Terms of Service, which Background Check such Potential Winner would have to pass to receive the prize. By entering the Raffle, the entrant agrees to cooperate fully with any such Background Check, and to execute and deliver to Administrator all required authorizations and approvals for said Background Check to be conducted. Failure to cooperate may result in disqualification. If the prize includes the opportunity to meet a celebrity, attend a special event, or participate in any similar activity, or if Administrator intends to publicize the winner in any way, and if a background check reveals that a Potential Winner or Guest has engaged in conduct that could damage the reputation or business of Administrator, as determined by Administrator in its discretion, the Potential Winner may be disqualified and the prize may be awarded to an alternate Potential Winner, time permitting.
In the event that a Potential Winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor may award the applicable prize to an alternate Potential Winner who will be selected by a random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. The selected Potential Winner must execute all consents as provided by applicable law.
Odds of Winning. Odds of winning the Raffle Prize (hereinafter defined) depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Raffle Entry Period.
