To Enter: 

To Enter via Instagram (“Social Media”): During the applicable Weekly Entry Period, follow @drink818 and any additional partner brand account(s) designated by Sponsor for that Weekly Drawing on Instagram, and post a comment on the designated in-feed Sweepstakes post that includes the hashtag #sweepsentry. Each compliant comment will constitute one (1) entry. Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, require additional non-purchase actions for a Weekly Drawing (such as joining a community channel), provided that such actions remain free. To win, you will be required to provide your complete legal name and a valid email address. You will also be required to confirm your date of birth and agree to the Official Rules. This Sweepstakes is in no way sponsored, endorsed, or administered by, or associated with, Instagram. By entering this Sweepstakes, you understand that you are providing your information to Sponsor and not to Instagram.

Entries: You may enter each Weekly Drawing, but each entry must be submitted separately, with a limit of one (1) entry per person/household/day, regardless of method of entry. A “day” is defined as the twenty-four (24) hour period beginning at 12:00:01 a.m. PT on any individual calendar date during the applicable Weekly Entry Period and ending at 11:59:59 p.m. PT on that date. All entries for a given Weekly Drawing must be received by 11:59 p.m. PT on the applicable Weekly Entry Period end date. Only entries received during the applicable Weekly Entry Period, and which are otherwise fully compliant with these Official Rules, will be entered for a chance to win that Weekly Drawing (“Valid Entries”). Multiple entries per day will result in the disqualification of all entries from said entrant for that Weekly Drawing. Entries not satisfying all the requirements of these Official Rules will be automatically disqualified. No mass or mechanically reproduced entries will be allowed.

Selection of Winner(s): On or about the day following the close of each Weekly Entry Period, Sponsor or an independent entity will randomly draw from all Valid Entries for that Weekly Drawing one (1) potential winner of the Weekly Prize. The Sponsor will determine in its sole discretion what entries are deemed Valid Entries, and its decisions and the result of the drawings are final in all respects. Odds of winning depend on the total number of Valid Entries received in a timely manner for the applicable Weekly Drawing. The potential prize winners will be notified via direct message on Instagram, e-mail, or phone. If a potential prizewinner cannot be reached after two (2) attempts, including, without limitation, where an e-mail is returned as undeliverable, a direct message goes unanswered, or any phone number provided is invalid, no longer in service, or otherwise unreachable, such person may be disqualified, and an alternate potential prizewinner may be selected in accordance with these Official Rules. Any non-response by a potential winner or Sponsor’s failure to receive a response from any potential winner within two (2) business days may result in the disqualification of such potential winner and the selection of an alternate potential winner in Sponsor’s sole discretion and time permitting. Sponsor is not responsible for unsuccessful efforts to notify any potential winner.

Affidavit of Eligibility: Each potential prizewinner must sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release, and, where legal, a Publicity Release (collectively, the “Releases”) within three (3) business days of notification. For any prize with an Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) of $600 or more, the potential prizewinner must also complete an IRS Form W-9 and provide a Social Security Number (or other Taxpayer Identification Number) for tax reporting purposes. Sponsor reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to disqualify winners based on a background check. Sponsor reserves the right to conduct a background check, including but not limited to criminal history, on any winners and, if applicable, their guests. To the extent required by law, winners and their guests authorize this check. If any prospective potential winner is found to be ineligible for any reason, an alternate potential winner may be selected at Sponsor’s sole discretion. In the event of non-compliance with these requirements (including execution of the Releases) or if any Releases or other documentation are returned as undeliverable, the prize may be forfeited, and an alternate potential prizewinner may be selected if feasible. All winners are subject to verification and compliance with these Official Rules. Except where prohibited by law, the potential prizewinner’s acceptance of a Prize constitutes permission for Sponsor to use the prizewinner’s name, photograph, likeness, statements, biographical information, voice, and address (city and state only), as edited, altered or modified in any way by the Sponsor or its designee(s) in the Sponsor’s sole discretion, as well as any additional photographic images, video images, portraits, interviews or other materials relating to the prizewinner and arising from the prizewinner’s participation in this Sweepstakes in any and all media now known or hereafter devised, throughout the world in perpetuity, for advertising the Sweepstakes or any other purposes, without limitation and without additional review, notification, compensation, or approval.

Taxes: The value of any Prize won by a participant of this Sweepstakes may be taxable as income to the winner. The winner is solely responsible for any and all taxes or fees associated with the prize(s). Winners of any prize with an ARV of $600 or more will be issued an IRS Form W-9 with the Releases and a subsequent IRS Form 1099. Upon receipt of a Prize, the winner is required to comply with any and all applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations.
