Now what the hell is this shit? I mean, ok... I know there's a snowball's chance in hell to win any such contest, but the way they are promoting this thing and the official rules are entirely different animals. Lordy lordy. You'd think that they were going to give someone a billion dollars. Well, yeah. You get a billion dollars if, AND ONLY IF you guess the billion dollar number correctly. This number is somewhere between 000,000 and 999,999. Good luck! Christ. Fuckers! Whatever, I guess it's all just moronic to begin with, and I'm a bigger idiot than ever before for not only ENTERING but also for spending a few minutes of my life to read this: Each Sweepstakes Winner at Event will have a chance (through the participation of Sweepstakes Winner or Designee) to play for one prize consisting of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) which will be awarded at the Event (the "One Million Dollar Prize") and will have the opportunity to play for one prize consisting of One Billion Dollars ($1,000,000,000) (as further described in Rule 16, the "One Billion Dollar Prize"). Only one (1) One Million Dollar Prize will be awarded at the Event and a maximum of one (1) One Billion Dollar Prize is available to be won at the Event. It is currently anticipated that each Sweepstakes Winner or Designee in attendance at the Event will be required to select a unique six-digit number (from 000,000 to 999,999) at a designated time prior to the start of Event. If a Sweepstakes Winner or Designee fails to select his/her number at such specified time, he/she s**** forfeit the right to participate in Event. All numbers selected will be recorded in a digitally signed database. The numbers so recorded in the database s**** be the official numbers used to play for the One Million Dollar Prize and the One Billion Dollar Prize. A Sweepstakes Winner or Designee will not be permitted to select a number previously selected by another Sweepstakes Winner or Designee; Sponsor will randomly determine the order in which each Sweepstakes Winner or Designee selects his/her number. The number, once selected, is final and not subject to change. A "winning" six-digit number (the "Billion Dollar Number") will be randomly generated (through secure means to be determined by Sponsor and its Administrators as defined in Rule 18) subsequent to the selection of numbers by all Sweepstakes Winners or Designees. At the end of the Event, the Sweepstakes Winner with the number (through the participation of Sweepstakes Winner or Designee) which is closest to the Billion Dollar Number on the basis of criteria to be determined by Sponsor and announced prior to start of Event (such person, the "Event Winner" and such number, the "Winning Number") will win the One Million Dollar Prize. If the Winning Number is identical to the Billion Dollar Number (i.e., all six digits of the Winning Number are identical to, and in the same sequence as, the six digits in the Billion Dollar Number), then the Event Winner will also win the One Billion Dollar Prize (to be paid in ccordance with Rule 16). The One Billion Dollar Prize will be awarded only if the Event Winner achieves the winning criteria set forth in the immediately preceding sentence; otherwise, the One Billion Dollar Prize will not be awarded and neither Sponsor nor Insurer (as defined in Rule 16 below) s**** have any liability to award the One Billion Dollar Prize under any circumstance. Additional details regarding game mechanics and other rules, procedures and conditions for participation in Event will be provided to Sweepstakes Winners immediately prior to Event. Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, disqualify any Sweepstakes Winner or his/her Designee at any time for any actual or attempted fraudulent activity or for failure to comply with the rules or procedures relating to Event. The Winning Number is subject to verification by an independent third party judge present at the Event. Any disputes regarding whether the One Million Dollar Prize and/or the One Billion Dollar Prize was validly won will be resolved by such third party judge, whose decision s**** be final, conclusive and binding. The judge's decisions s**** be made strictly in accordance with the Official Rules and any other rules and procedures put in place for the Event. Assuming 1,000 Sweepstakes Winners or Designees participate at the Event, then: (a) each Sweepstakes Winner's odds of winning the One Million Dollar Prize are 1 in 1,000; (b) each Sweepstakes Winner's odds of winning the One Billion Dollar Prize are 1 in 1,000,000; and (c) overall odds that the One Billion Dollar Prize will be awarded at the Event are 1 in 1,000. The One Million Dollar Prize and One Billion Dollar Prize are only available to be won at the Event and cannot be won directly in the Sweepstakes or on a game piece. In no event s**** Sponsor be responsible for awarding more than one (1) One Million Dollar Prize or more than one (1) One Billion Dollar Prize. In the unlikely event of a tie (as determined by Sponsor) at the Event between two or more Sweepstakes Winners, the One Million Dollar Prize and, if applicable, the One Billion Dollar Prize will be divided equally among such Sweepstakes Winners.
