Odds of winning a prize depend on the number of eligible entries received. The drawing will be held within five (5) business day[s] after the end of the Sweepstakes Period. Within two (2) business days after the selection of the potential winner[s], Sponsor or its designee will attempt to notify each potential winner that he or she may have won a prize, by email or by using other contact information provided for entry, in Sponsor’s sole discretion. If potential winners do not respond to such notification by email within three (3) business days of receipt, they may be deemed to have forfeited their prize.
Once a potential winner has been notified, Sponsor will apply $100 in Gig Car Share credits to their Gig account within 48 hours. If a potential winner does not already have a Gig account, they must download the app and complete the registration process within 1 week of being notified otherwise they may be deemed to have forfeited their prize.

Sponsor is not obligated to pursue more than one (1) alternate winner for each prize for any reason, in which case such prize may go unawarded. Sponsor reserves the right to modify the notification procedures and applicable deadlines for responding in connection with the selection of any alternate potential winner, if any. If a prize is legitimately claimed, it will be awarded.

Failure to comply with these requirements, Sponsor’s or its representative’s instructions, or these Official Rules may, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, result in disqualification from the Sweepstakes and forfeiture of any prize potentially won.
