2. All prizes are guaranteed to be awarded. Throughout the Sweepstakes, the Promoter will conduct up to 24 ‘bonus increase’ offers. Bonus increase offers will only be sent to selected entrants. If an entrant receives a ‘bonus increase’ offer and responds to the material as directed, in the event that they are drawn as the winner of the prize to which the ‘bonus increase’ offer applies, they will receive the set prize plus the bonus outlined in the material (which could be up to double the original prize value). The decision to increase any cash prize value and the amount of the increase will be totally at the discretion of the Promoter and will be indicated in the promotional material for the relevant prize draw. If an increased prize value has been advertised to a winning entrant, the Promoter will award that entrant the increased prize value, as advertised. For all other activities a winning entry will receive the stated prize value without the increase. If the Promoter decides to offer an increase in the value of any or all of the cash prizes, the total maximum potential value based on a maximum doubling of prizes would then respectively be increased to $1,684,000. In the case of any unclaimed cash prize, only the original cash prize (i.e. the cash prize without any bonus increase) will be distributed.
3. The Promoter reserves the right to offer additional opportunities for entrants to receive bonus entries. Any such opportunities (and the relevant conditions and limitations) will either be announced via the corresponding promotional material.

In some cases where it will not be necessary to return an entry form in order to participate, specific mention will be made of that fact in the promotional material. All eligible entries will qualify and will have a fair and equal chance to win the prize to which they relate.
5. Cash prizes will be awarded in the form of a cheque or by electronic funds transfer to the winner's nominated bank account. Cash prizes will be paid in the local currency of the winner. Prizes are not transferable.

2012 Terms and Conditions

Million Dollar Sweepstakes
 
1. The Sweepstakes is open to residents of Australia and New Zealand aged 18 years or older only who receive or access marketing communications via email, mail, telephone or online from the Promoter during the promotional period. The Sweepstakes opens on 01/01/12 and closes on 31/12/12.
2. All prizes are guaranteed to be awarded. Throughout the Sweepstakes, the Promoter will conduct up to 24 ‘double up’ offers. Double up offers will only be sent to selected entrants. If an entrant receives a ‘double up’ offer and responds to the material as directed, in the event that they are drawn as the winner of the prize to which the ‘double up’ offer applies, they will receive double the prize money. The decision to increase any cash prize value and the amount of the increase will be totally at the discretion of the Promoter and will be indicated in the promotional material for the relevant prize draw. If an increased prize value has been advertised to a winning entrant, the Promoter will award that entrant the increased prize value, as advertised. For all other activities a winning entry will receive the stated prize value without the increase. If the Promoter decides to offer an increase in the value of any or all of the cash prizes, the total maximum potential value based on a maximum doubling of prizes would then respectively be increased to $2,000,000. Where the original winner drawn was eligible for the stated prize without the increase but does not claim their prize, only the amount of the prize unclaimed by the original winner drawn, being the stated prize amount without the increase, will be distributed in the unclaimed prize draw in accordance with these rules.
3. Multiple entries are permitted (unless otherwise stated) provided each entry is on an original entry form. No facsimiles or copies permitted. Entries are not transferable. To be eligible, entries must be received by the applicable closing date. Additional deadlines apply to certain prizes including the bonus prizes and, based on postal guidelines, the Promoter allows one week for delivery and one week for return in addition to any deadline stated. In some cases where it will not be necessary to return an entry form in order to participate, specific mention will be made of that fact in the promotional material. All eligible entries will qualify and will have a fair and equal chance to win the prize to which they relate.
