2. AM I ELIGIBLE? The Contest is open only to persons 18 years of age or older who have a Y-12 Federal Credit Union account open at the time of drawing.

No groups, clubs or organizations can participate in the Contest or submit entries on behalf of the group, club, or organization. Sponsor reserves the right to verify to its satisfaction the eligibility of any entrant.

3. HOW DO I PARTICIPATE? Set up a recurring payment (for example, a subscription service) with a minimum of a monthly recurrence using a Y-12 FCU debit card and leave it active for at least one statement cycle to register for The Contest. Qualifying transactions must be coded as a recurring payment by the merchant. Recurring payments that are not the same transaction amount for each cycle may not qualify. The Sponsor does not control how the merchant codes the transaction. Pre-existing recurring payments do not qualify.

Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value. All prizes will be awarded. If a 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 (3) alternate drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded. 

5. HOW DO I WIN? One prizewinner will be selected by Sponsor via a random drawing at the end of the promotion period. Odds of winning a prize in this Contest will depend upon the number of entries received by Sponsor during the Promotion Period. All entries are subject to verification. Entries that are non-compliant with these Official Rules will be void. Any potential winner will be notified by email, telephone, or certified mail within seven (7) days of the drawing. If a potential prize winner is unable to be reached within five (5) days of the contact attempt, or refuses to accept the prize, such potential winner will be disqualified and an alternate potential winner will be selected by another random drawing of entries. Each potential winner must sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release within 14 days of notification if requested by Sponsor. Noncompliance within this time period, as well as the return of any prize notification as undeliverable, will result in disqualification and an alternate potential winner will be selected by another random drawing of entries. Acceptance of a prize constitutes permission to the Sponsor and its agents to use the winner's name and/or likeness for purposes of advertising and trade without further compensation, unless prohibited by law.
