- Potential winner may, at Sponsor’s discretion, be required to complete, sign, have notarized, and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release, W9 or W8 tax form as applicable, and, where lawful, a Publicity Release within three (3) days of notification. If the documents are not returned in a timely manner, or if potential winner is found not to have complied with these Official Rules, failed to provide accurate entry-submission information, is ineligible for any reason, or declines the Prize for any reason, the Prize may be forfeited. Potential winner may be required to provide proof of identification and submit to a background check, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, in order to receive Prize.

Failure to successfully answer the question as stated will cause the Grand Prize to be forfeited. In the event the Sponsor, in its sole discretion, determines that any entry does not otherwise comply with the Official Rules or any other applicable regulatory guidelines, Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify the potential winner responsible for such entry.
Our Verdict
Chances of winning will probably be quite low I imagine, but probably doesn’t hurt to enter when you have nothing else to do and want to kill a quick thirty seconds. SPG are valuing points at 2.5¢ and you’re required to pay taxes if you win. Remember that you can dispute the value as well. If you win, let us know in the comments and congratulations.
