From the fine print

What the rules say

8 notes

Disqualifiers2

Any one of these can void an entry or a win.

  • Card and envelope must be hand-printed by the entrant personally; no third-party organization may assist with the entry process.

    Show the rules' wording· How to Enter, mail-in NOTE

    “Mail-in entry card and envelope must be hand-printed by the Entrant only. In addition, Entrants are not permitted to use any 3 rd party organization to assist with the entry process in any way (as determined by the Administrator).”

  • Each envelope must be mailed individually; bulk shipments of entries are not accepted.

    “Each Envelope must be mailed individually. Bulk shipments of entries will not be accepted.”

Advantages3

Things in the rules that work in your favor.

  • Mail-in entries (1 entry each, free) have full parity with purchase entries in reaching the 25-entry-per-person cap: since a purchase only yields 1 entry per $25 spent, a person would need to spend $625 to hit the same 25-entry cap that 25 free mailed envelopes can reach -- mail-ins are not diluted relative to purchases here, unlike most other sponsors.

    Show the rules' wording· How to Enter, mail-in

    “Each mail-in entry received with be worth one (1) Sweepstakes entry.”

  • Hard cap of 25 entries per entrant regardless of method -- there is no way for a big spender to out-scale a mail-only entrant beyond this cap.

    Show the rules' wording· How to Enter

    “LIMIT TWENTY-FIVE (25) ENTRIES PER ENTRANT, REGARDLESS OF METHOD OF ENTRY.”

  • Winner can take $18,000 cash instead of the (used, ~99,000-mile) Mitsubishi Evolution, which is worth roughly 60% of the car's $30,000 ARV.

    Show the rules' wording· Grand Prize

    “The Winner will also have the option to accept a $18,000 USD cash award in lieu of the aforementioned Prize.”

Timing1

  • The Sweepstakes Period ends September 21, 2026 (tomorrow) OR the moment 3,000 different entrants have entered, WHICHEVER HAPPENS FIRST -- and if the 3,000 cap is hit early, any mail-in postmarked AFTER that day is void even though tomorrow is still technically within the stated postmark deadline. Mail today, don't wait for the Sept 21 deadline.

    Show the rules' wording· Drawing and Notification

    “IF THREE THOUSAND (3,000) ENTRANTS ENTER THE SWEEPSTAKES DURING THE SWEEPSTAKES PERIOD, ALL MAIL-IN ENTRIES POSTMARKED ON OR BEFORE THE DAY THE ENTRY LIMIT WAS HIT WILL BE COUNTED IN THE RANDOM DRAWING. ALL MAIL-IN ENTRIES POSTMARKED AFTER THE DAY THE ENTRY LIMIT IS HIT WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE IN THE PRIZE DRAWING.”

Costs1

  • Winner is responsible for optional equipment, title, license, insurance, registration fees, applicable taxes, and any travel/transportation costs to collect the vehicle, and must transfer title with their state DMV within 10 days of accepting the prize.

    Show the rules' wording· Grand Prize

    “The Winner must transfer title officially with their state DMV within ten (10) days of accepting the Prize.”

Oddities1

  • The Grand Prize vehicle is a used 2006 Mitsubishi Evolution with approximately 99,000 miles, carried at a $30,000 ARV -- notably older/higher-mileage than most competing car-giveaway prizes, worth double-checking condition expectations before counting on this one.

    Show the rules' wording· Grand Prize

    “The Grand Prize Winner (“Winner”), upon the Administrator’s confirmation of eligibility, will receive a 2006 Mitsubishi Evolution with approximately 99,000 miles (“Prize” or “Grand Prize”). Grand Prize ARV - $30,000.”
