If the Winner cannot be contacted within ten (10) days after the first attempt, or if he/she fails to sign and return the Releases and provide a picture with a testimonial within the allotted time period, an alternate entrant will be selected by identifying the next Lowest Unique Bid, or by a second random drawing. This process will continue until a valid Successful Bidder or Chosen Winner is found that complies with all required terms and conditions. Odds of winning the Prize depend on the number of eligible Bids received. An IRS form 1099 will be issued to any Winner receiving a Prize valued at $600 or more.
