6. Prize Drawings: Administrator is an independent organization whose decisions as to the administration and operation of the Sweepstakes and the selection of the potential winners are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Administrator will randomly select one (1) potential Sweepstakes winner from all eligible entries received for each of the eight (8) Sweepstakes Posts during the Promotion Period, on or around June 15, 2023.
