3. How to Enter: There are five ways to enter the Sweepstakes. There is NO PURCHASE NECESSARY to participate. A purchase does not increase your chances of winning.
Via the Website: During the Sweepstakes Period, Entrants must visit here (“Website”) and follow the links and instructions to log in or create a Coca‑Cola account (“Account”). Once logged in, complete the Sweepstakes registration form in its entirety in order to receive one (1) entry (“Website Entry”). Limit one (1) Website Entry per Entrant per Daily Entry Period. Any attempt by any Entrant to obtain more than the stated number of Entries by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations or logins, or any other methods will void that Entrant’s Entries and that Entrant may be disqualified from the Sweepstakes. Any use of robotic, repetitive, automatic, programmed or similar Entry methods or agents (including, but not limited to, Sweepstakes Entry services) will void all Entries by that Entrant. In the event of a dispute as to any Entry, the authorized account holder of the email address used to enter will be deemed to be the Entrant. The "authorized account holder" is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Potential winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holders. Sponsor will use the Account email address and other information for eligibility, notification and/or fulfillment purposes, if you are a winner, so be sure it is accurate and up to date.

Prizes & Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”): 37 Prizes (one per Daily Entry Period): A year’s supply of Coca‑Cola products, subject to availability, awarded as 24 individual products per month for one (1) year. Product sizes are in Sponsor’s sole discretion. The maximum ARV of each prize is $525. All prize details, including delivery are in Sponsor’s sole discretion. If the prize becomes unavailable, Sponsor will substitute a prize or portion of equal or greater retail value in its sole discretion.

No transfer, cash or other substitution of a prize is permitted except Sponsor may substitute prize in whole or in part for one of comparable or greater retail value for any reason. Resale of prize is prohibited. All applicable federal, state, and local taxes are solely the responsibility of winners.
5. Random Drawings/Odds: There will be thirty-seven (37) winners selected in total [one (1) per each Daily Entry Period] in separate random drawings on or about the Monday (or next business day for any Monday holidays) following each Daily Entry Period, from among all eligible Entries received by the end of that Daily Entry Period. Drawings will be conducted by the Administrator, an independent judging organization whose decisions are final and binding on all matters related to the drawings. Odds of winning a prize depend on the total number of eligible Entries received by the end of each Daily Entry Period.
6. Winner Notification: The potential winners will be contacted via email and will be required to sign and return a Declaration of Eligibility and Liability Release and except where prohibited, publicity release (“Declaration”) within forty-eight (48) hours of notification in order to be confirmed as a winner. If a potential winner fails to return the completed Declaration within forty-eight (48) hours, Declaration is returned as undeliverable, Entrant shall be deemed to be ineligible, the prize will be forfeited and an alternate potential winner will be selected for the applicable prize. Upon prize forfeiture, no compensation will be given. Return of prize or prize notification as undeliverable may result in disqualification and alternate selection. If an Entrant is disqualified for one of the reasons mentioned above and an alternate is selected, the alternate must complete and return the required documents in the timeframe specified. Up to three (3) alternates may be selected for each Daily Entry Period. Administrator will work with each winner to determine which Coca‑Cola brand products they will receive, based on availability. Prizes will be shipped directly to winners from a select retailer’s shipping facility each month for one (1) year and Sponsor will determine the start month.
