<h3>ODDS OF WINNING</h3>

In the event the stated approximate retail value of the prize is more than the actual fair market value of that prize, the difference will not be awarded in cash or otherwise. Winner is responsible for paying any applicable income taxes and any other costs and expenses not listed above. Any prize details not specified above will be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. A prize may not be transferred and must be accepted as awarded.

As a condition to receiving the prize, all Entrants may be asked to sign documentation requested by Sponsor, including, without limitation an Affidavit of Eligibility/Release of Liability/Prize Acceptance Form, show proof of<br />
residency and valid identification immediately upon being chosen. If any document is returned to Sponsor as undeliverable or if Sponsor does not receive a response from a Selected Entrant within three (3) business days of attempted notification, or the Selected Entrant declines the prize or fails to meet Sponsor requirements, such Selected Entrant may be disqualified and the prize will either be forfeited or awarded to an alternate eligible Entrant at the discretion of the sponsor.
