The Sponsor will attempt to notify the potential winner via your work email address or phone number listed in your caregiver record on or about May 5, 2023. If the potential winner does not respond within five days after the date of the first attempt to contact him/her, the Sponsor may select an alternate potential winner at random from the remaining non-winning, eligible entries.

In the event the potential winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Only three alternate drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain unawarded. Prizes will be fulfilled approximately three (3) weeks after the notification date.
