Discontinuation of or modification to the Giveaway: The Sponsor reserves the right to discontinue or modify the Giveaway for future Drawing Periods subsequent to the first Drawing Period and throughout the remainder of the Extended Promotion Period so long as advance notice is given wherever the Giveaway had been advertized at least two weeks prior to the start of the next Drawing Period. Once any Drawing Period has begun and entries have been taken, Sponsor agrees to conduct the Drawing for that Drawing Period in accordance with these Official Rules, including the payment of the Grand Prize to the winner for that Drawing Period. Following the discontinuation or modification of the Giveaway, these Official Rules will no longer apply without a written amendment, if any, by the Sponsor. In the case that Sponsor elects to discontinue the Giveaway for future drawing periods, these Official Rules will be voided at midnight on the last calendar day of the final Drawing Period in which notice of discontinuation is given.
-
The Drawings: The Judge of the Drawings (the “Judgeâ€) has no financial stake in RANLife and is appointed by RANLife to act as an independent Judge with no personal interest in the outcome of the drawings. Different Judges may be appointed for each Drawing due to the long timeframe of the Extended Promotion Period. Judge’s decisions as to the administration and operation of the Drawings and the selection of the potential winners are final and binding in all matters related to the Drawings. The Judge for each drawing will randomly select the potential Giveaway Finalist Prize winners from all eligible entries received during the Drawing Period on the day of the Drawing. The potential Finalist
Prize winners will be notified by phone, mail and/or email. Each potential Finalist Prize winner will be required to sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability & Publicity Release ("Affidavit"), which must be received by Sponsor within ten (10) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim his/her prize. If a potential Finalist Prize winner cannot be contacted, or fails to sign and return the Affidavit within the required time period, potential winner forfeits prize. Potential winners must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. In the event that a potential Finalist Prize winner is disqualified for any reason prior to thirty (30) days from the Drawing or the payment of the Grand Prize for that Drawing Period, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries for the same Drawing Period, time permitting. Only three (3) alternate drawings will be held within the thirty (30) day period after the initial Drawing for that Drawing Period, after which the prize for that Drawing Period will remain un-awarded.
-
Prizes: TWELVE (12) GRAND PRIZES: Each Grand Prize is $10,000 paid by Sponsor towards Winner’s RANLife originated mortgage. Net Verifiable Retail Value ("VRV"): $5,000. In the event that Winner does not have a mortgage loan that was originated through RANLife or would prefer not to have a payment made towards his/her mortgage by Sponsor, Winner may elect to receive the VRV of $5,000 awarded in the form of a check to winner. Each Grand Prize will be awarded within thirty (30) days from the date of the Drawing for each Drawing Period.
-
Odds of winning: Odds of winning are greater than 1:4,000 for each Drawing. Odds of winning depends on number of entries received, not number of written prize notices distributed. No printed version of this written prize notice exists beyond the electronic version here on this webpage, except when a printed copy is requested by a customer in the course of a phone call. Number of written prize notices, therefore, will vary according to the actual number of visitors to this webpage that view this document. Since entries are capped at four thousand (4,000) for each drawing, odds of winning will always be greater than one (1) in four thousand (4,000).
