Sweepstakes Entities reserve the right to substitute any prize or any prize component with another prize of equal or greater value. Grand Prize: One (1) Grand Prize Winner will be selected in the Sweepstakes. If the Grand Prize Winner is not a resident of Florida or New York, he or she will receive a Grand Prize package consisting of one of every prize that Ellen gives away during her "12 Days of Giveaways" taking place during the month of December 2008 on Program dates selected by The Ellen DeGeneres Show (a description of each of the "12 Days of Giveaways" prizes, and the approximate retail value (ARV) of each will be available online at www.ellentv.com). If the Grand Prize Winner is a resident of Florida or New York, he or she will receive one thousand dollars ($1,000 USD). Odds of winning the Grand Prize depend on the number of eligible entries received. The Grand Prize is non-assignable and nontransferable. Where applicable, the winner is solely responsible for payment of all taxes on, and for any costs incurred in claiming or using, the Grand Prize. The Grand Prize and individual components of The Grand Prize are subject to availability, and the Sweepstakes Entities reserve the right to substitute prizes, or prize components, of equal or greater value. The Grand Prize Winner shall be required to claim his or her prize by completing, signing and notarizing an affidavit of eligibility, a liability release and, except where prohibited by law, publicity release, which must be returned via mail or hand delivery within ten (10) business days of date of sender's postmark. Failure of the Grand Prize Winner to timely sign, notarize and return any required affidavit and release, to timely respond to a prize notification, or to claim his or her prize or comply with any term or condition of these Official Rules, or the return of any prize notification as undeliverable, will result in disqualification, the forfeiture of his or her interest in the prize, and the award of the prize to a substitute Grand Prize Winner to be randomly selected from all remaining eligible entrants, which will consist of the remaining official semi-finalists described in Paragraph 5, below. The Grand Prize Winner must sign any other legal documents which Sponsor may require (including W9 tax forms, if applicable). Non-compliance may result in disqualification and selection of a substitute Grand Prize Winner at random from among all remaining eligible entrants, which will consist of the remaining official semi-finalists described in Paragraph 5, below. First Prize: Twenty-five (25) First Prize Winners will each receive a prize pack from the Program that includes one (1) Ellen t-shirt and one (1) pair of Ellen underwear. Approximate retail value of each First Prize Package is $40.00 USD. Limit one (1) prize per person. Prizes are non-assignable and nontransferable. First Prize Winners are solely responsible for any costs incurred in claiming or using prize. First Prizes and individual components of prize packages are subject to availability, and the Sweepstakes Entities reserve the right to substitute prizes, or prize components, of equal or greater value. The return of any prize notification as undeliverable will result in disqualification, the forfeiture of the winner's interest in the prize, and the award of the prize to a substitute drawing winner to be randomly selected from all remaining eligible entrants.
WINNER SELECTION, NOTIFICATION AND ACCEPTANCE: Two drawings will be held during the Sweepstakes Period. As noted in Paragraph 2, above, to be eligible for a particular drawing, entries must be received by the stated entry deadline for that drawing. For the Grand Prize Drawing, all online entries must be received by 04:59:59 p.m. (ET) on December 16, 2008 and all mail-in entries must be postmarked by December 15, 2008 and received by 04:59:59 p.m. (ET) on December 16, 2008. For the First Prize Drawing, all online entries must be received by 11:59:59 p.m. (ET) on January 9, 2009 and all mail-in entries must be postmarked by January 9, 2009 and received by January 15, 2009. Grand Prize Drawing: A random drawing from among all eligible entries received by the Grand Prize Drawing entry deadline will be conducted at approximately 7:00:00 p.m. (ET) on December 16, 2008 to select ten (10) semi-finalists to participate in the Grand Prize drawing. The semi-finalist drawing will be conducted as follows: ten (10) provisional semi-finalists will be selected at random and Sponsor's fulfillment center will attempt to contact the selected provisional semi-finalists in person by telephone using the telephone number provided on the provisional semi-finalists' entry forms. If Sponsor's fulfillment center is unable to reach a provisional semi-finalist in person by telephone (Sponsor's fulfillment center may call up to three times and no messages will be left), that provisional semi-finalist will be disqualified and a substitute provisional semi-finalist will be randomly selected from among the remaining eligible entries. The first ten (10) eligible provisional semi-finalists that the Sponsor successfully contacts personally by telephone, that accept the terms of being a semi-finalist and that satisfy the requirements of these Official Rules will be declared an official semi-finalist. Each official semi-finalist will be required to provide a valid phone number where they can be reached on December 18, 2008 during a time period specified by the Sweepstakes Entities, and must agree to return any required documents in the event they are chosen as the Grand Prize Winner. On December 18, 2008, during the taping of the Program, the Program's host will randomly select one (1) of the official semi-finalist names from the ten (10) provided by Sponsor's fulfillment center and, subject to the additional requirements explained below for Canadian Provisional Winners, the selected official semi-finalist will be declared the provisional Grand Prize Winner. During the taping of the Program, the Program's host will contact the selected provisional Grand Prize Winner at the number provided on that person's entry form to personally notify the person selected that he or she has potentially won the Grand Prize. Actual award of the Grand Prize is subject to verification of the selected provisional Grand Prize Winner's eligibility and compliance with the terms and conditions of these Official Rules. First Prize Drawing: A random drawing from among all eligible entries received by the First Prize Drawing entry deadline (except for the Grand Prize Winner's entry) will be conducted during regular business hours on January 16, 2009 to select twenty-five (25) First Prize Winners. Subject to the additional requirements explained below for Canadian Provisional Winners, each First Prize Winner will receive his or her prize by mail at the address provided on his or her entry form. Unless prohibited by law, acceptance of a prize constitutes permission for the Sweepstakes Entities to use the winner's name, address (city and state/province) and/or likeness for advertising and trade purposes without further compensation, worldwide and in perpetuity, in any and all forms of media, now known and hereafter devised, including without limitation the Internet.
CANADIAN WINNER: A Canadian Provisional Winner, in order to win and receive a prize, must first correctly answer, unaided and without mechanical or electronic assistance, a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question administered by mail or by telephone. Failure of a Canadian Provisional Winner to correctly answer the skill-testing question in the time allotted will result in disqualification, the forfeiture of his or her interest in the prize, and the random selection of a substitute Canadian Provisional Winner from among all remaining eligible entries at the end of the Sweepstakes Period. Sponsor's fulfillment center will attempt to contact a Canadian Provisional Winner three times by telephone at the number provided on the Canadian Provisional Winner's entry form. If Sponsor's fulfillment center is unable to reach a Canadian Provisional Winner by telephone (Sponsor's fulfillment center may call up to three times in a 24-hour period and no messages will be left), that Canadian Provisional Winner will be disqualified and a substitute winner may be randomly selected from the remaining eligible entries at the end of the Sweepstakes Period (for selection of a substitute Grand Prize Winner, remaining eligible entrants will consist of the remaining official semi-finalists described in Paragraph 5, above).
