5. Drawing/Odds:
On or about 5/8, Sponsor will select one (1) potential winner in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received. The odds of being selected depend on the number of entries received.
6. Winner Notification; Potential Winner Requirements:
Within approximately 30 business days of the drawing, Sponsor will send a direct message from its @almave account on the Platform through which selected entry was submitted to the potential winner's account on that Platform with instructions on how to claim the Prize. In addition or in the alternative, Sponsor may - in its sole discretion - post a comment on the potentially winning entry or an @mention to the potential winner's account with instructions on how to claim the Prize. (This includes, without limitation, where the user is not a follower of Sponsor's @almave account or the Platform settings otherwise prevent Sponsor from sending the potential winner a direct message.) It is the potential winner's responsibility to set their account settings on the applicable Platform to accept contacts by Sponsor and to timely check their account for any comments, mentions, @replies, messages, or other communications from Sponsor. Failure to timely respond or complete any of the steps set forth in the notification for any reason, including failure by s potential winner to notice or accept a comment, mention, @reply, direct message or other communication sent by Sponsor, may result in disqualification of such potential winner and selection of an alternate winner.
A potential winner is required to respond to the initial notification within 48 hours and in accordance with the instructions in their notification. If the potential winner fails to respond as instructed within 48 hours or if the notification is returned as undeliverable or fails to reach the potential winner for any reason, the potential winner will be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected at Sponsor's sole discretion (and time permitting), who will be subject to disqualification in the same manner. A potential winner may (in Sponsor's sole discretion) be required to complete and return an affidavit of eligibility and liability/publicity release (except where a publicity release is prohibited by law) or other prize-acceptance documents. If Sponsor does not already have one on file, each potential winner may be required to sign and return to the Sponsor a completed Form W 9 ("W-9") for tax reporting purposes, in order to claim their Prize. If a potential winner fails to sign and return these documents within the required time period (as set forth in Sponsor's instructions to the potential winner), an alternate potential winner may be selected in their place in a random drawing of all remaining entries received. All potential winners and winner documents are subject to verification by Sponsor, whose decisions are final and binding in all matters related to this Sweepstakes. An entrant is not a winner of any Prize, even if the Sponsor should so indicate, unless and until entrant's eligibility and the potential winning Entry has been verified and entrant has been notified that verification is complete. Sponsor will not accept alternative evidence of winning in lieu of its validation process. Sponsor is not obligated to pursue more than three (3) alternate winners for a prize (time permitting) for any reason, in which case such prize may go unawarded.
7. Prizes:

Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any person who seeks to undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes.

In the event of a dispute concerning the identity of a participant, the participant will be declared to be the registered account holder of the email address through which the winning entry was submitted or associated with the account used to enter, but only if that person meets all other eligibility criteria - otherwise the entry may, in Sponsor's sole discretion, be disqualified and any potential prize won forfeited. Winner may be required to show proof of being the registered account holder. If a dispute cannot be resolved to Sponsor's satisfaction, in its sole discretion, the entry will be deemed ineligible. Without limiting any other provision in these Official Rules, Released Parties (defined below) are not responsible or liable to any entrant or winner (or any person claiming through such entrant or winner) for failure to supply a prize or any part thereof in the event that any of the Sweepstakes activities or Released Parties' operations or activities are affected by any cause or event beyond the sole and reasonable control of the applicable Released Party (as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion), including, without limitation, by reason of any acts of God, threatened or actual terrorist acts, war (declared or undeclared), civil disturbance, epidemic/pandemic or similar public-health crisis, fire, earthquake, flood, unusually severe weather, blackout, embargo, labor dispute or strike (whether legal or illegal), labor or material shortage, transportation interruption of any kind, any law, rule, regulation, action, order, or request adopted, taken, or made by any governmental or quasi-governmental entity (whether or not such governmental act proves to be invalid), or any other cause, whether or not specifically mentioned above.
