All Entries and prize claims are subject to verification. Proof of Entry submission does not constitute proof of receipt. Entrants agree to abide by these Official Sweepstakes Rules.

Should a winner make any false statement(s) in any document referenced above, the winner will be required to promptly return to Sponsor his/her prize, or the cash value thereof. Sponsor reserves the right at its sole discretion to disqualify any individual who tampers or attempts to tamper with the entry process, the operation of the Sweepstakes and/or Sweepstakes websites or apps, violates the Official Sweepstakes Rules, or acts with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person.

    @Thelon We are the 2nd country allow, hence the i and ii. We aren't part of the excluded list. (Hence why there is even a special section for Quebec). Pretty sure we need to answer a math question though. haha

    Really hate how everything nowadays revolves around needing certain social media to enter things. I don't have IG or twitter (or want it) so guess I'm out of luck. I wish you could enter by email as well for us simpler folks still left in the world.

    Best of luck for those who do.
