For online entries, you must supply a valid e-mail address to win. If the e-mail address supplied is not valid, your entry will be disqualified.
- HOW TO WIN: One (1) winner will be drawn at random from all eligible entries after 5:00 p.m. (CT) on or about each of the following dates: Saturday, May 24, 2008; Wednesday, June 18, 2008; Sunday, July 20, 2008; Saturday, August 16, 2008; Tuesday, September 9, 2008. To qualify for a drawing, online entries must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. (CT) three mailing days before a drawing, and mail-in entries must be postmarked no later than three mailing days before a drawing and received no later than 5:00 p.m. (CT) on the drawing date (or, in the event of a Sunday drawing, by 5:00 p.m. on the Saturday preceding the drawing). For example, online entries for the drawing taking place on Saturday, May 24, 2008, must be received by 11:59 p.m. (CT) on Wednesday, May 21, 2008, and mail-in entries for the drawing taking place on Saturday, May 24, 2008 must be postmarked by Wednesday, May 21, 2008 and received by 5:00 p.m. (CT) on Saturday, May 24, 2008. All mail-in entries postmarked later than three days preceding a drawing or received after 5:00 p.m. on the drawing date (or, in the event of a Sunday drawing, after 5:00 p.m. on the Saturday preceding the drawing) will be invalid for that drawing date (but, as set forth below, will be entered into each subsequent drawing until either selected as a winner or the promotional period ends). Entries that are not selected as winners in any drawing automatically will be entered into the next applicable drawing until the entrant is chosen as a winner or the promotional period ends. Sponsors reserve the right to delay any of the prize drawings. Winners will be notified via e-mail and/or telephone. Each winner must respond to e-mail or voice-mail notification within 24 hours, or he/she will forfeit the prize. If a prize is not claimed within the time limit, an alternate winner will be drawn at random from all remaining eligible entries. Limit one prize per person or e-mail address. Each winner and any guest(s) will be required to execute and return, prior and as a condition to receiving a prize, an affidavit of eligibility and liability release and, except where prohibited by law, a publicity release. Failure to comply with these rules will cause prize to be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner. Prizes are not transferable and cannot be redeemed for cash, and no substitutions are allowed (except by Sponsors due to prize unavailability, in which case a prize of equal or greater value will be substituted). Odds of winning a prize depend on the number of eligible entries received for the drawing. If (i) winner does not respond to prize notification in the timeframe stated, (ii) winner declines his or her prize, (iii) winner or any guests fails to return the affidavit of eligibility and liability release within the timeframe stated, or (iv) winner is unable to attend the event on the date specified, it will result in the disqualification of such winner and an alternate winner may be selected by random drawing at Sponsors’ discretion. Sponsors will use reasonable efforts to pick an alternate winner but, in the event an alternate winner cannot be determined, the prize will go unawarded.
- DESCRIPTION OF PRIZE(S): Five (5) Prizes: Winners each will receive (i) the opportunity to act as a honorary groundskeeper for a Chicago Cubs home game (the “Game”), (ii) four (4) tickets and one (1) parking pass to the Game, (iii) a Menards Groundskeeper shirt, (iv) a photograph taken on the field prior to the Game, and (v) a Chicago Cubs baseball hat (Approximate Retail Value: $350).
