The Sponsor reserves the right to modify the notification procedures in connection with the selection of an alternate winner, if any. Prizes will be awarded within four (4) to six (6) weeks after each winner’s verification. Should any winner be found to have made any false statement(s) in the Affidavit, Release or any required document, that winner will be disqualified and required to promptly return to Sponsor his/her prize. Except where prohibited by in any eligible state stated in these Rules, entry and acceptance of a prize constitutes permission for Sponsor and/or any third party associated with the Sweepstakes to use each winner’s first name, last name initial, city and country for fulling any winner’s list requirements as required by U.S. promotion law.
