Grand Prize Contest: In order for a grand prize to be awarded to an eligible finalist, a finalist must select the (1) money bag from the set of money bags provided for their contest attempt that contains an official “Winning Prize Certificate” enclosed in a sealed prize envelope. The following will apply to each grand prize contest attempt:

All contest attempts must occur in the presence of the contest administrator. Any attempt(s) not made in the presence of the contest administrator for any reason will be disqualified and is not eligible for the grand prize.
The finalists will be presented with a set of money bags. Each money bag will contain a unique set of sealed contest envelopes assigned to that particular finalist which are identical in size, shape, and color.
Each finalist will be required to select a maximum of (1) money bag and remove the sealed contest envelope contained inside. In the event any money bag contains more than one (1) sealed contest envelope – the finalist will be required to select only one of the envelopes.
Each finalist will then open and remove the prize certificate contained inside the selected contest envelope. Opening more than (1) sealed contest envelope(s) for any reason will disqualify the contestant, and void any opportunity to claim the grand prize.
Each finalist will reveal the prize certificate to the contest administrator to determine if the certificate is a “Winning ” or “Non-Winning ” prize certificate.

In order to claim the grand prize, the (1) sealed contest envelope(s) selected and opened by an eligible finalist must contain a “Winning” prize certificate. The winning symbol printed on the grand prize winning certificates for this contest will be a ‘$’. The “Non-Winning” prize certificates will be printed with “Sorry” or other similar text clearly distinguishing it as a “Non-Winning” certificate. If the finalist selects any sealed contest envelope that contains a “Non-Winning” prize certificate, then they will not be a grand prize winner in the contest and the grand prize will not be awarded to that contestant. In the event that an eligible finalist does not select the (1) money bag inserted with prize envelope that each contains a winning prize certificate, then the grand prize will not be awarded.

IMPORTANT: In the event of an error in the preparation of the contest materials or any tampering that results in any particular set of sealed contest envelopes containing more than (1) “Winning Prize Certificate”, that particular contestant attempt is void. The corresponding contestant will be entitled only to re-attempt the contest, and will be provided a new set of sealed contest envelopes for their re-attempt.
