The selection will be conducted by the Sweepstakes Provider whose decision is final and binding on all aspects of this Sweepstakes. If each passenger in a selected car is 18 years of age or older and otherwise qualified, one representative from the car will be given the opportunity to select a ticket which corresponds to one of the Prizes. Each of the Qualified Entrants in that vehicle will win the corresponding Prize, which will be awarded immediately upon completing required paperwork.

Except where prohibited by law, Selected Entrants must allow Sweepstakes Provider to use their name, picture, and winning story for marketing purposes.

Unless restricted by law, each Selected Entrant will be required to complete and return the Release at the time of selection by the Secret Spotter.

If properly qualified, Selected Entrants will receive a Prize immediately. Sweepstakes Provider will not be responsible for lost Prizes and will not replace lost or destroyed Prizes for any reason.
