5. RANDOM DRAWS: Random draws for the Prizes will be made by the independent contest organization at 10:00 am (ET) in Oakville, ON.

Odds of being selected for a Grand Prize on a draw date depend on the total number of eligible entries received for each draw date. Each selected entrant will be contacted by mail or telephone within 10 business days of the draw date. If a selected entrant cannot be contacted within the time frame indicated above, his/her entry will be disqualified and another entrant will be randomly selected from the remaining eligible entries and the process above will be repeated until such time as contact is made with the selected entrant or there are no more eligible entrants. Prior to being declared a winner, the selected entrant must first correctly answer without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or otherwise, a mathematical skill-testing question posed by mail or telephone at a mutually convenient time within 10 business days of the draw date. In the event that the selected entrant incorrectly answers the mathematical skill-testing question, he/she will be disqualified and another entrant will be randomly selected and the above process will be repeated until such time as there is one confirmed winner per draw or no more eligible entries are available.

6. RELEASE FORM: Prior to being declared a winner and receiving the Prize, each selected entrant will be required to sign a Declaration and Publicity Release Form (the “Release Form”). By completing and returning the Release Form, the winner confirms compliance with the Official Rules, accepts the Prize as awarded, without substitution, releases the Releasees (as defined in Rule 7) from all liability relating to the Promotion and/or to a Prize (as specified more fully in Rule 7 below), and consents to the use of his/her name, address (city and province) and/or photographs, without additional compensation, in connection with any publicity carried out by or on behalf of the Sponsor with respect to the Promotion. The signed Release Form must be returned within the time period specified on the Release Form or the Prize will be forfeited and another entrant will be selected, and the process above will be repeated until such time that there is one confirmed Prize winner for each random draw or no more eligible entries are available. Within thirty days of receipt of the completed Release Form, the Sponsor or a designated agent will send the winner his/her Prize by mail or courier.
