4. Winner Selection by Random Drawing:
One (1) random drawing will be made from all entries that correctly guessed the top eight (8) placings in the 2008 Mr. Olympia competition. The drawing will be administered by an independent contest judging organization on or around September 29, 2008 at approximately 10:00 a.m. [ET] (“Drawing Date”) in Mississauga, Ontario from all eligible entries received. The entry drawn will determine the potential winner of the Grand Prize. Selected entrant will be contacted by telephone and/or e-mail at the Sponsor’s discretion. Only the selected entrant will be notified. Before being awarded the prize, any selected entrant who is a Canadian resident (excluding Quebec) must first correctly answer without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or otherwise, a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question to be administered at a mutually-convenient time by telephone. If an eligible entrant is selected but cannot be reached after four (4) attempts and, if the selected entrant is a Canadian resident, the skill-testing question is not administered within 20 business days of the draw, or if the selected entrant is a Canadian resident but does not correctly answer the skill-testing question, the selected entry will be deemed void and an alternate entrant may be selected. Only upon correctly answering the skill-testing question, if the selected entrant is a Canadian resident, and meeting the requirements of eligibility and signing and returning the declaration and release form described below in Rule 5, will a selected entrant be declared the official winner (“Winner”).
ODDS OF WINNING: Odds of winning depend on the number of entries that correctly guess the top eight (8) placings in the 2008 Mr. Olympia competition, and that are otherwise eligible entries received by Sponsor.
In the event of non-compliance with these requirements (as applicable) or with these Official Rules, or if prize notification is returned undeliverable, Sponsor shall have the right to disqualify the selected entrant from being a potential winner, and may select an alternate potential winner and shall be fully and completely released and discharged from any liability or responsibility in this regard. The provisions and procedures referred to above relating to selection and notification of a potential winner, if applicable, shall be applied, with the necessary amendments, until a qualified winner has been duly selected.
