1. HOW WILL THE POTENTIAL WINNER(S) BE SELECTED?

On August 1st, 2023 at approximately 9 AM in Toronto, ON, St. Joseph will conduct a random draw from among all eligible entries received.  For each prize to be awarded pursuant to these Official Rules, five entrants will be randomly selected as potential winners and notified using the information provided at the time of entry.  In the event any potential winner does not respond to such notification within three (3) business days, declines a prize for any reason, or does not meet the requirements set forth in these Official Rules, as determined by the Sponsors, the potential winner will be disqualified and, time permitting, an alternate potential winner may be randomly selected from among remaining eligible entries, or the prize may be cancelled.

To be declared a winner, a potential winner: 

1. must correctly answer, without assistance, a time-limited, mathematical skill-testing question to be administered by the Sponsors;

3. must sign and return, within any designated time period, a release of liability and consent to publicity form and any other documentation as reasonably required;
