Each Potential Winner will be asked to provide their full name, age, and mailing address, for verification purposes, within a specified time period. If the Potential Winner responds and can verify their information, they will receive one (1) of twenty (20) possible contest Prizes, each identical to the next, all as defined below in Section 5, and be declared a “Winner” of the Contest.
