The Trip Prize shall include the following elements:

• Round-trip, coach-class airline transportation for two (2) people from the major airport nearest Trip Prize Winner’s city to NYC (if within 250 miles of NYC, rail or ground transportation to be substituted);
• Three (3) nights’ hotel accommodations at a Times Square hotel (selected by Prize Provider in its sole discretion) in NYC (double occupancy, room and tax only);
• Two (2) tickets to a welcome event and group dinner at a venue to be selected by Prize Provider on December 29, 2023;
• Two (2) tickets for a private NYC excursion and entertainment experiences to be determined by Prize Provider (e.g., Broadway show, holiday dinner cruise on the Hudson River, etc.) on December 30, 2023;
• Two (2) tickets for a VIP New Year’s Eve dinner and entertainment with other Trip Prize Winners and their guests and a private New Year’s Rockin’ Eve experience;
• Two (2) gift bags, each with a retail value of at least Two Hundred Dollars ($200);
• All meals while in NYC, including the Welcome Dinner on December 29, 2023, and the NYE dinner on December 31, 2023;
• Spending money in the amount of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000); and
• Ground transportation to and from airports, hotel, and activities in NYC.

Trip Prize Winner shall not be required to travel to NYC to participate in the drawing for, and to remain eligible to win, the $1 Million Prize. Trip Prize Winner may appoint a proxy to take the trip instead, subject to the Trip Prize Terms and Conditions set forth below, but Trip Prize Winner will still remain eligible to win the $1 Million Prize.

• Trip Prize Winner (or their proxy) may also have the opportunity to participate in the recording and production of the Program and/or appear in the broadcast of the Program, provided that Trip Prize Winner completes and signs all required releases and forms and consents to a background check.  If Trip Prize Winner appoints a proxy, the proxy must complete and sign all required releases and clear the background check in order to take the trip.  In the event that Trip Prize Winner’s designated proxy does not clear the background check, Prize Provider reserves the right, in its sole discretion, either to (i) allow Trip Prize Winner to appoint another proxy to take the trip (subject to background clearance and Prize Provider deadlines); or (ii) allow proxy to travel and to appoint a second proxy (selected by Prize Provider) to participate in the Program. 

• For the avoidance of doubt, Trip Prize Winner’s eligibility to participate in the trip and/or the drawing for the $1 Million Prize is not affected by Trip Prize Winner’s failure to complete and sign all required release and forms and/or to consent to a background check and/or by any information obtained pursuant to a background check, but those failures may affect the nature of their appearance and/or degree of participation in the Program.  While Trip Prize Winner’s eligibility to participate in the drawing for the $1 Million Prize is an element of the Trip Prize, the opportunity to participate in the recording and production of the Program and/or appear in the broadcast of the Program is expressly NOT an element of the Trip Prize and is determined by Prize Provider in its sole discretion.  Prize Provider reserves the right to appoint a proxy to appear and participate in the Program for Trip Prize Winner for any reason as it may determine in its sole discretion.  The appointment of any proxy shall not affect Trip Prize Winner’s eligibility for the $1 Million Prize.

TRIP PRIZE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

WINNER SELECTION AND TRIP PRIZE PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS.  Participating Lotteries will determine their promotions, including eligibility of potential winners of the Trip Prize.

GUESTS.  Each Trip Prize Winner will be allowed (but is not required) to bring one (1) Guest to experience all elements of the Trip Prize. Guest is not eligible to participate in the drawing for a prize in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) to be conducted shortly after midnight on January 1, 2024 as part of the Promotion (“$1 Million Prize”). Trip Prize Winner and Guest must travel on the same itinerary.

AGE REQUIREMENTS.  If Trip Prize Winner is under the age of twenty-one (21), Guest must be at least the age of majority in Guest’s state of residence.  If Trip Prize Winner is twenty-one (21) or older, Guest may be under the age of eighteen (18) but must be at least thirteen (13) years old (as of the first date of travel), and if Guest is a minor in Trip Prize Winner’s state, Trip Prize Winner must be the parent or legal guardian of Guest.

TRAVEL AND EVENT PARTICIPATION. Trip Prize Winner must travel on or about December 29, 2023, and January 1, 2024, to participate in the Trip Prize.  If Trip Prize Winner is unable to or will not travel on the dates and times selected by Prize Provider, the selected Trip Prize Winner may select a proxy by November 27, 2023. The proxy will participate on Trip Prize Winner’s behalf, and the proxy will be provided with all elements of the Trip Prize.  Failure to select a proxy by November 27, 2023, or failure of the Trip Prize Winner’s selected proxy to satisfy all production requirements as set forth below will result in selection of a proxy by Prize Provider.  In either circumstance, Trip Prize Winner will remain eligible for the $1 Million Prize. 

If Trip Prize Winner resides fewer than two hundred fifty (250) miles from New York City, NY, Prize Provider, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to provide ground transportation in lieu of airline transportation. 

No prize element substitution, cash substitution, assignment, or transfer of the Trip Prize or any elements thereof is permitted, except those portions of the Trip Prize that may be used by a proxy designated by Trip Prize Winner.  Any unused elements of the Trip Prize will be forfeited, will not be redeemable for cash, and may not reduce the prize value awarded for tax purposes.  Notwithstanding the foregoing:

• If Trip Prize Winner misses their flight for any reason, reasonable efforts will be used to reschedule the flight at Trip Prize Winner’s expense.  If the flight is not able to be rescheduled in a reasonable time for Trip Prize Winner’s participation in any of the events or activities included in the Trip Prize (individually/collectively, “Event(s)”), (i) Trip Prize Winner shall forfeit and not participate in the travel portion of the Trip Prize, including the Events; (ii) Trip Prize Winner will still receive the One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) of spending money portion of the Trip Prize and the two (2) Gift Bags (less any tax withholdings and any outstanding debt setoff, if applicable); and (iii) Trip Prize Winner will remain eligible for the $1 Million Prize drawing.

• If Trip Prize Winner is unable to travel in connection with the Trip Prize for any reason after tickets have been booked, (i) Trip Prize Winner shall forfeit and not participate in the travel portion of the Trip Prize, including the Events; (ii) Trip Prize Winner will still receive the One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) of spending money portion of the Trip Prize and the two (2) Gift Bags (less any tax withholdings and any outstanding debt setoff, if applicable); and (iii) Trip Prize Winner will remain eligible for the $1 Million Prize drawing

In any of the foregoing events, a proxy may be appointed to accept the $1 Million Prize on Trip Prize Winner’s behalf at the time of the drawing; however, in such event, Trip Prize Winner will still receive the $1 Million Prize (less any tax withholdings and outstanding debt setoff, if applicable).

Trip Prize Winners who do not elect to take a guest, or whose Guest, for any reason, does not actually take the trip, are still subject to the full amount of any taxes due on the total value of the Trip Prize. 

Failure to respond and/or execute and return required releases, forms, and other documentation and/or failure to collect, properly claim, respond, and/or cooperate in the acceptance, receipt, delivery, and/or fulfillment of any element of the Trip Prize may result in forfeiture of the Trip Prize or the applicable element thereof, as Prize Provider may determine in its sole discretion.  If forfeited for any reason, Trip Prize Winner will not receive any other prize substitution or compensation of any kind, and Prize Provider may award the Trip Prize to an alternate recipient as it may determine in its sole discretion.  If the Trip Prize cannot be fulfilled due to any federal, state, and/or local government and/or agency, network, or Prize Provider restrictions, regulations, guidelines, or risk assessments, Prize Provider reserves the right, in its sole and complete discretion, to substitute an alternate or substitute prize of reasonably comparable value as determined by Prize Provider in its sole discretion. 

ADDITIONAL COSTS AND EXPENSES.

• Prize Provider reserves the right to appoint a proxy to appear and participate in the broadcast of the Program for Trip Prize Winner for any reason as it may determine in its sole discretion.  The appointment of any proxy shall not affect Trip Prize Winner’s eligibility for the $1 Million Prize or receipt of the Trip Prize.
