SPONSOR WILL NOT ACCEPT SCREEN SHOTS OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF WINNING IN LIEU OF ITS VALIDATION PROCESS.

If Sponsor's fulfillment center is unable to reach a Grand Prize 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), or if a Grand Prize Provisional Winner is unwilling or unable to travel on the specified dates, that Grand Prize Provisional Winner will be disqualified and a substitute Grand Prize Provisional Winner will be randomly selected from among the remaining eligible entries.
