1. SELECTION OF WINNERS: two (2) potential Winners will be randomly selected from all eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period.  Potential Winners will be chosen and notified by April 1, 2024.  Representatives of NYRR and its agencies, whose decisions are final on all matters relating to this Sweepstakes, will conduct the Sweepstakes. Potential Winners will be contacted via email.  Potential Winners will be required to confirm notification and submit a completed Winner’s Release confirming Sweepstakes eligibility, compliance with Sweepstakes rules and regulations, acceptance of associated prizes and completion of the associated form(s) by April 5, 2024. If a potential Winner fails to confirm notification or complete and return the Winner’s Release and associated form(s) within the required time period, or in the event that a potential Winner is disqualified for any reason, NYRR may award the applicable prize to an alternate winner selected by a random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries.  Only one (1) alternate drawing will be held, after which any remaining prizes will remain un-awarded.  

Verification of Potential Winners:  All potential WINNERS are subject to verification by NYRR, whose decisions are final AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE SWEEPSTAKES.  AN ENTRANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE UNLESS AND UNTIL ENTRANT'S ELIGIBILITY HAS BEEN VERIFIED AND ENTRANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THAT VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE.
