If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to complete the online form or sign and return the Declaration within the required time periods, or the prize is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits the prize. In the event that a potential winner forfeits the prize or is disqualified for any reason, the Sponsor will award the prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries in the applicable Entry Period. Only three (3) alternate drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded.
