  4. Winning. On or about June 24, 2024, Sponsor will conduct a random drawing of all eligible entries received to select 15 (fifteen) winners to each receive a Prize, described below. Decisions of the Sponsor will be final and binding on all matters relating to this Sweepstakes. The Prize is not transferable. No substitution or cash redemption of the Prize, or any portion thereof, is allowed, except at the sole discretion of the Sponsor. If the potential winner cannot be reached within a reasonable time period after the drawing, does not respond within five business days of the first notification attempt, is found to be ineligible, does not comply with these Official Rules or declines to accept the Prize, the potential winner may be disqualified in Sponsor’s sole discretion, and in such case Sponsor will select an alternate winner in a random drawing from remaining eligible entries.

  5. Prize. The winners will receive one (1) autographed football, signed by Luther Burden III (the “Prize”) unless the winners fail to comply with these Official Rules. The approximate retail value of the Prize is $100.00. If the Prize or any portion thereof cannot be awarded for any reason, Sponsor reserves the right to substitute such Prize with another prize of equal or greater value.

  6. Claiming the Prize. Prizes will be mailed to the winners at the address specified by the winner after the winning Entrant is contacted by Sponsor. The potential winner may be required to present proof of age and identification and/or complete, sign, notarize and return to Sponsor an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release within fourteen (14) days of receipt of such documents from Sponsor. If such documents are not returned to Sponsor prior to such deadline, any Prize won may be forfeited in Sponsor’s sole discretion, such potential winner shall be disqualified, and an alternate winner will be selected by Sponsor from the remaining eligible entries. In the event that more than one prospective winner is inadvertently named, a drawing will be held among all such potential winners to select one winner. Except where prohibited by law and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Sponsor’s Privacy Policy, the winner also grants Sponsor the right to use the winner’s submission, first name, hometown, images and likenesses for advertising, publicity and promotion purposes, including print, broadcast and on-line announcements, without further compensation other than the said Prize and at no expense to the winner.

  7. Odds. The odds of winning the Prize are estimated as 1/280. The actual odds of winning a Prize depend upon the total number of eligible entries received.

When required by federal law, Sponsor will report the names of the winner and the value of the Prize won to the Internal Revenue Service. If requested by Sponsor, the potential winner will be required to complete, sign and return to Sponsor an IRS Form W-9 prior to receiving the Prize. Failure to complete, sign and return a W-9 will result in the winner being disqualified, and in such case, Sponsor will select an alternate winner in a random drawing from remaining eligible entries.

  9. Additional Conditions. In the event of non-compliance with these Official Rules, the winner may forfeit any Prize won and an alternate winner will be selected. Each Entrant agrees to, accepts and shall abide by these Official Rules of this Sweepstakes and agrees that any dispute with regard to the conduct of this Sweepstakes, rule interpretation or award of the Prize, shall be resolved by Sponsor, in its sole discretion.
