To remain eligible to win the prize, potential prize winner must return the completed and signed Affidavit/Release within two (2) days of issuance by Sponsor (or such shorter period of time indicated thereon).†
In the event of noncompliance with the Affidavit/Release requirement (including if Affidavit/Release is not timely received or received at all at provided e-mail address); if potential prize winner cannot be initially contacted by Sponsor via telephone; or if potential prize winner is determined to be ineligible or otherwise in violation of these Official Rules, the prize will be forfeited without compensation of any kind and an alternate potential prize winner selected from among all remaining eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period.
In addition, award of the prize is made contingent upon the results of a background check of potential prize winner. In order to remain eligible to win the prize, potential prize winner must provide all necessary consents and requested information in order for Sponsor to conduct the background check. Potential prize winner further understands and agrees that he/she will not receive any prize (nor will Sponsor have any liability to him/her under any legal theory, other than a consolation prize of a $500 gift card provided that the potential prize winner is eligible and otherwise in full compliance with these Official Rules) if Sponsor concludes that the background check is “dirty” and includes any information that may adversely affect the reputation of Sponsor by exposing Sponsor to public disrepute, contempt, scandal or ridicule; such as, winner having committed a felony or any act of moral turpitude. Potential prize winner agrees to be bound by Sponsor’s review and analysis of the background check, which is not subject to appeal.
†Potential prize winner agrees that an electronic signature/affirmation or facsimile version of the Affidavit/Release shall have the same legal force and effect as a hand-signed document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should Sponsor determine in its sole discretion that the electronically signed/affirmed/facsimile version of the Affidavit/Release is not acceptable, Sponsor may condition award of prize on return of the actual hand-signed document.
5. Prize/Odds of Winning
Prize (1) – “Payment of winner’s rent or mortgage for one year,” awarded as a single cash payment (check) in the amount of $20,000.

Prize winner is solely responsible for any and all costs related to acceptance and use of the Prize as well as for any and all taxes on prize. Prize winner understands and agrees that, as per applicable law, Sponsor is required to report prize winner’s receipt of the prize (and its value) to applicable government authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service via IRS 1099 Tax Form; and, to this end, prize winner agrees to fully cooperate with Sponsor including by providing his/her Social Security Number upon request via IRS W9 Tax Form.
