5. Drawing: Administrator is an independent organization whose decisions as to the selection of the potential Sweepstakes winner are final and binding and are not subject to appeal.

Receiving the prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules. In the event that the potential winner is disqualified for any reason or forfeits the prize, Sponsor will award the prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries.
