2. OVERVIEW AND TIMING. There are five (5) distinct prize pools, with one prize pool allocated to each Market. For each Market, the Promotion consists of two (2) components: (a) an Instant-Win Game (“Instant-Win Game”) – providing Entrants with the opportunity to win an Instant-Win Prize associated with their Market; and (b) a Random Drawing (“Random Drawing”) – providing Entrants, who did not win a prize in the Instant-Win Game, with the opportunity to enter for a chance to win the Grand Prize associated with their Market. For clarity: A “prize pool” consists of both Instant-Win Prizes and a Grand Prize (designated specifically for each Market).
Timing. The Promotion begins on April 13, 2026 at 12:00:00 a.m. Eastern Time (“ET”) and ends on June 28, 2026 at 11:59:59 p.m. ET (“Promotion Period"). The Sponsor’s computer is the official time-keeping device for this Promotion.
3. DESCRIPTION OF PROMOTION/HOW TO PLAY THE INSTANT-WIN GAME AND ENTER THE RANDOM DRAWING. During the Promotion Period, scan the Quick Response (“QR”) Code on Promotion advertising materials to be taken to the Promotion’s Website. Follow the online instructions to play the Instant-Win Game for a chance to win an Instant-Win Prize (a “Play”) associated with the Market in which you reside. For each Market’s prize pool, randomly-selected times will be chosen by Sponsor, and the first entrant who completes a Play in accordance with these Official Rules (whose Play is properly received and recorded at or immediately after a randomly-selected time as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion) will win an Instant-Win Prize (subject to verification). If your mobile device or computer screen displays prize-winning message, you are a potential winner of the indicated Instant-Win Prize (subject to verification). If your mobile device or computer screen displays a non-winning prize message, you are not a winner of an Instant-Win Prize. The number of Instant-Win Prizes available to be won will diminish as they are awarded. All Plays and entries into a Random Drawing must be properly received and recorded within the Promotion Period in order to be eligible to win a prize.
If you receive a prize-winning message, you will be presented with an online prize-claim form. You must immediately complete and submit the prize-claim form as indicated on the Website to claim your Instant-Win Prize. For all non-winning Plays, you will be presented with an opportunity to complete and submit an online form (to include your name, email address, phone number, date of birth, and/or any other information requested by the Sponsor) to receive one (1) entry into the Random Drawing associated with your Market. For clarity: If you are a winner of an Instant-Win Prize, you are NOT eligible to enter the Random Drawing portion of the Promotion.
Limit one (1) Play/entry per person/email address per Day. A “Day” is defined as the twenty-four (24) hour period beginning at 12:00:00 a.m. ET and ending at 11:59:59 p.m. ET of the same day. Plays/entries received from any person or email address in excess of the stated limitation will be void. Plays/entries must contain all information requested to be valid.
The Released Parties (as defined below) are not responsible for lost, late, undeliverable, illegible, damaged, stolen, misdirected, mutilated, or incomplete Plays/entries, regardless of cause. Multiple Entrants are not permitted to share the same email address. Should multiple users of the same e-mail account or mobile phone number, as applicable, enter the Promotion and a dispute thereafter arise regarding the identity of the Entrant, the authorized account holder of said e-mail account or mobile phone account at the time of submitting a Play/entry will be considered the Entrant. “Authorized account holder” is defined as the natural person who is assigned an e-mail address or mobile phone number by an Internet access provider, online service provider, telephone service provider or other organization which is responsible for assigning e-mail addresses, phone numbers or the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address. Proof of submission of a Play/entry shall not be deemed proof of submission or receipt by the Sponsor for online Plays/entries. Plays/entries will be disqualified if incomplete and/or if prohibited multiple Plays/entries in excess of the stated limit are received. All Plays/entries become the property of Sponsor and will not be acknowledged or returned.
4. RANDOM DRAWINGS/WINNER NOTIFICATION AND VERIFICATION. For each Market, on or about June 29, 2026, the Sponsor will randomly select one (1) potential Grand Prize winner from among all eligible entries received for the Random Drawing during the Promotion Period per Market. Potential Grand Prize winners will be notified on or around June 29, 2026.
RECEIVING A PRIZE IS CONTINGENT UPON FULFILLING ALL REQUIREMENTS AND COMPLIANCE WITH THESE OFFICIAL RULES. ALL PLAYS/ENTRIES ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY THE SPONSOR WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE PROMOTION. AN ENTRANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE EVEN IF THE WEBSITE OR COMMUNICATION SHOULD SO INDICATE, UNLESS AND UNTIL ENTRANT’S ELIGIBILITY AND THE POTENTIAL WINNING PLAY/ENTRY HAS BEEN VERIFIED. SPONSOR WILL NOT ACCEPT SCREENSHOTS OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF WINNING.
Both Instant-Win Prize winners and Grand Prize winners will be required to sign and return an affidavit of eligibility/liability release and publicity release (where lawful) and/or any other form(s) necessary to verify eligibility, claim prize, and agree to all prize conditions within two (2) business days after the first delivery attempt to the Entrant’s e-mail address, unless otherwise stated herein or at the time of notification. Additional information regarding prize fulfillment will be provided upon winner verification.
The Released Parties are not responsible for suspended or discontinued wireless or online service or for any change of Entrant’s email address, mailing address, and/or telephone number which may result in potential winner not receiving a prize notification or prize. If a potential winner (a) cannot be contacted, fails to respond to the notification as stated above, or the notification or prize is undeliverable; (b) fails to provide signed affidavits or releases or any other required forms; (c) fails to present a proper identification at the time of claiming a prize or fails to collect or properly claim a prize; (d) declines the prize; (e) cannot be verified as eligible; (f) is disqualified for any reason; (g) is not available to participate in any applicable Promotion event(s) that participation may be required to be considered eligible; or (h) is otherwise unable to accept the prize as stated, then the prize may be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner, in Sponsor’s sole discretion. Any alternate winner(s) will be randomly selected from among all remaining eligible entries, as determined by Sponsor, in its sole discretion. If any alternate(s) similarly fails to properly claim the prize, Sponsor will use a reasonable number of attempts, in its discretion, to award the prize(s) to another alternate(s) but if it is unable to do so, the prize(s) will be deemed unclaimed and Sponsor shall have no further liability, in connection with this Promotion, to award unclaimed prizes.

The Sponsor will interpret these Official Rules and resolve any disputes, conflicting claims or ambiguities concerning the rules or the Promotion and the Sponsor’s decisions concerning such disputes shall be final. If, for any reason, more bona fide winners are notified than prize(s) available, prize(s) will be awarded in a random drawing from among all such persons. Inclusion in such drawing shall be each Entrant's sole and exclusive remedy under such circumstances. Any reference in these Official Rules or as part of the Promotion to the Sponsor’s and/or Station’s "discretion" and/or any exercise of discretion by the Sponsor or Station shall mean in Sponsor’s and/or Station’s "sole and unfettered discretion."

In the event the Promotion is terminated, Sponsor will award the prize(s) in a random drawing from all eligible entries received prior to termination. If applicable, material changes to the Official Rules will be made available online at the Sponsor’s/Station’s website, when practical. The Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of this provision.
12. BINDING ARBITRATION. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Promotion shall be settled by binding arbitration in a location determined by the arbitrator as set forth herein (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for claimant), or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties, in accordance with the procedural rules for commercial disputes set forth in the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS (“JAMS Rules and Procedures”) then prevailing, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the JAMS Rules and Procedures. The arbitrator shall apply Texas law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. In the event that the claimant is able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Sponsor will pay as much of the claimant’s filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal (other than that claims will not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis), or otherwise conflicts with the rules and procedures established by JAMS, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, the portion that is deemed invalid, unenforceable or illegal is that claims will not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither claimant nor Sponsor shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute. Upon filing a demand for arbitration, all parties to such arbitration shall have the right of discovery, which discovery shall be completed within sixty days after the demand for arbitration is made, unless further extended by mutual agreement of the parties. THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE IN THE ENTRANT’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE CLAIMS OF OTHER PERSONS OR PARTIES WHO MAY BE SIMILARLY SITUATED. DO NOT ENTER THIS PROMOTION IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO HAVE ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARBITRATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE OFFICIAL RULES.
13. MISCELLANEOUS. Sponsor reserves the right to determine eligibility should special circumstances arise, and all decisions made by Sponsor are considered final and binding. Sponsor disclaims any responsibility to notify Entrants of any aspect related to the conduct of the Promotion. As a condition of participating in the Promotion, Entrants agree (and agree to confirm in writing) that: (a) under no circumstances will Entrant be permitted to obtain costs, judgments, or awards for, and Entrant hereby knowingly and expressly waives all rights to claim or seek punitive, incidental, consequential, special, or any other damages, other than for actual, third-party out-of-pocket expenses, and in such limitation, Entrant further waives any rights to have damages multiplied or otherwise increased; (b) any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action arising out of or connected with this Promotion, or any prize awarded, shall be resolved individually, through binding arbitration as set forth above, without resort to any form of class action; and (c) any and all claims, judgments, and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred (if any), excluding attorneys’ fees and court costs. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitations or exclusion of liability, so the above may not apply to every Entrant. Participation in the Promotion constitutes Entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to, and acceptance of these Official Rules. Winning a prize is contingent upon Entrant’s fulfillment of all requirements set forth herein.
14. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW AND GOVERNING LAW.
