In the event it is deemed during the verification process that the potential Grand Prize winner does not have a unique, personal and valid social security number for Sponsor (or any party acting on its behalf) to report the tax liability associated with acceptance of the Grand Prize, the potential Grand Prize winner will be disqualified and another potential Grand Prize winner will be selected from the remaining Alternative Grand Prize Winners. A Grand Prize winner that is later found ineligible or non-compliant will be immediately required to return and forfeit any prize awarded. On or about December 31st, 2023 the Sponsor (or designee) will randomly select one (1) Conditional Grand Prize Winner and two (2) Alternative Conditional Winners from among all valid Sweepstake entries. In the event that the Conditional Grand Prize winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will begin the verification process with an Alternative Grand Prize Winner to award the Sweepstakes Grand Prize. In the unlikely event the Conditional and Alternative Grand Prize winners are found to be ineligible entries in the Sweepstakes, additional potential Grand Prize winners will be randomly drawn from all eligible entries, singularly, until an eligible entrant is awarded the Grand Prize.
