Incomplete entries will be disqualified. Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations, or logins or software generated entries, robotic entries, other automated process, or third-party entry service will void those entries and such entrant may be disqualified. If there is a dispute as to the identity or eligibility of a winner based on an email address, the entry will be deemed made by the “Authorized Account Holder” of the email address used for entry. The Authorized Account Holder is the natural person who is assigned to the email address by the relevant Internet access provider, online service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the corresponding domain. The information that you provide in connection with the Sweepstakes will be used by Sponsor in accordance with its Privacy Policy, which is found at privacy.tribune.com and which may be updated from time to time.
Winner Selection: Every Tuesday during the Sweepstakes Period, one winner will be randomly selected from all eligible entries received by the close of that Weekly Entry Period by a member of Sponsor’s staff after 9:00 AM CT. Odds of winning will depend on the number of eligible entries received for each drawing. Winner is subject to verification and compliance with these Official Rules. Only one prize per person, household, or email address allowed. Eligible, non-winning entries will carry over from one Weekly Entry Period to the other.
