  • Entrants must be natural persons of the age of majority in their primary country of residence, or in their other political subdivision of residence, as applicable.
  • Winners are chosen at random, which typically means by a method employing the free tools available at www.random.org, or other similar tools; we also may choose a winner by awarding the prize to the first eligible person or persons to respond to our free call to action.
