5. Winner Selection & Notification

Winners will be selected in a random drawing conducted by the Sponsor on the Wednesday following the close of that week’s contest period at 11:59 PM ET the night before. Winners will be announced via social media by commenting or responding to the original response/comment and in the body of the original post, modified to include the name of that week’s winner. Winners will be contacted via direct message to provide the Sponsor their information in order to receive the prize. If a winner is selected who entered via an alternative method of entry, then that winner will be notified via the email address they used to enter.

The winner of the final “Send-off to 2026” package will be messaged via the social media platform they entered from as well as tagged in the post on December 31, 2026 announcing the winner. If a winner is selected who entered via an alternative method of entry, then that winner will be notified via the email address they used to enter.

If a potential winner during any week cannot be contacted, fails to respond within 48 hours of notification, or is found to be ineligible, the prize may be forfeited and an alternate winner selected.
