Things in the rules that work in your favor.

• A winner who entered by mail-in postcard receives the $100,000 check, not a brand prize. The rules call the mail-in route 'Section 4(d)', but entry methods are listed under section 3 (To Enter) and section 4 is Winning/Odds; the mail-in route is item D of section 3.

  Show the rules' wordingHide the wording· sec. 5, Grand Prize

  “In the event the Grand Prize Winner entered via Section 4(d), they will receive a $100,000USD check.”

• Mail-in postcard is worth 10 entries. Writing DOUBLE (bottom left) gives 2x, MULTIPLIER (bottom right) gives 5x, and SSP (bottom middle) gives another 2x. The rules do not say whether these stack with each other or only one applies, so no combined figure is given.

  Show the rules' wordingHide the wording· sec. 3, AMOE

  “To receive two times (2x) entries, hand write “DOUBLE” in the bottom lefthand corner of the postcard.”

• MULTIPLIER (5x) booster: hand write MULTIPLIER in the bottom right-hand corner of the postcard. Stacking with DOUBLE and SSP is not stated.

  Show the rules' wordingHide the wording· sec. 3, AMOE

  “To receive five times (5x) entries, hand write “MULTIPLIER” in the bottom righthand corner of the postcard.”

• SSP booster: hand write SSP in the bottom middle of the postcard for another 2x. The rules do not explain what SSP stands for or whether it stacks.

  Show the rules' wordingHide the wording· sec. 3, AMOE

  “To receive another two times (2x) entries, hand write “SSP” in the bottom middle of the postcard.”

• Cap is 10,000 entries per entrant across ALL methods (purchases and mail-in together). At the base 10 entries per postcard, 10,000 entries equals 1,000 postcards, so a mailer can match a heavy buyer; boosters would reach the cap with fewer cards. There is no separate limit on the number of postcards.

  Show the rules' wordingHide the wording· sec. 3

  “Regardless of the method of entry, there is a limit of ten thousand (10,000) entries per Entrant during the Sweepstakes Period.”

• For purchases, the dollar amount counted includes gift card purchases, tax, shipping and handling, so buyers earn entries on more than the product price.

  Show the rules' wordingHide the wording· sec. 3, footnote 1

  “dollar amount spent includes gift card purchases, tax, shipping and handling fees as applicable”

• Chemical Guys shows 2x entries on all Kits & Bundles on its homepage and 2x on new products on its giveaway page (brand-run, purchases only; no start or end date shown).

• Postmark by Nov 21, 2026 and received by Nov 30, 2026. The postmark deadline falls nine days before the Sweepstakes Period ends, so a card mailed in the last week is late even though the promotion is still running.

  “Entries must be postmarked by November 21, 2026 and received by November 30, 2026.”

  “Sponsor reserves the right to modify one or more available multipliers or eliminate multiplier(s) in their entirety during the corresponding timeframe.”

• Grand prize is either a $100,000 check or the prize the winning entry's brand advertised (the winner picks), with all elements totalling $100,000. Which brand's prize applies depends on which brand received the winning entry; a mail-in winner gets the check.

  “Grand Prize Winner will be able to select either: i) a $100,000USD check or ii) the Grand Prize being offered by the business entity coinciding with the Grand Prize Winner’s entry.”

• Brand-advertised prizes are set by each participating brand, not by the rules; the rules name no vehicle. Chemical Guys, for example, advertises a Dodge Demon or $100,000. The record's vehicleType 'car' is a placeholder taken from that brand.

  Show the rules' wordingHide the wording· sec. 5, Grand Prize

  “The Grand Prize to be awarded will be determined based on the business entity that received the winning entry.”

• Chemical Guys' giveaway page presents the drawing as its own 'Dodge Demon Giveaway' while the rules make it ONE pooled drawing across all participating brands with one grand prize. There is no separate Chemical Guys drawing.

  “Every $1 Spent = 1 Entry to our $100k Dodge Demon Giveaway.”

• The rules state there is one grand prize in conjunction with ALL participating brands and non-profits. Brands' pages (for example Chemical Guys and Lucky Joe's Garage) each promote the same drawing under their own name.

  “Sponsor is offering only ONE GRAND PRIZE in conjunction with all such participating business entities and non-profit organizations”

• The rules label the period times 'Pacific Daylight Time (PT)' but Nov 30 falls in Pacific Standard Time. The rules also say all times are Pacific Time, so the end is read as 11:59:59 p.m. Pacific on Nov 30 (-08:00).

  “The Sweepstakes begins at 12:00:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time (“PT”) on September 11, 2026”

• Round 11 postcards need only first name, last name and e-mail. Round 10 (same PO Box 429) required complete address, phone and date of birth, so do not reuse that card layout.

• The prize section's cross-reference to 'Section 4(d)' does not match the numbering (To Enter is section 3, Winning/Odds is section 4); the same wording was carried over from earlier rounds. Treat internal cross-references with care.

  “In the event the Grand Prize Winner entered via Section 4(d), they will receive a $100,000USD check.”

• Odds depend on the total entries from every participating brand, non-profit and mail-in; the pool is shared by about two dozen brands.

  “Odds of winning the grand prize (“Grand Prize”) will depend upon the total number of eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period.”

• Shared Sweeps' homepage says it fully funds the $100,000 prize. The rules list a total ARV of $100,000 and nothing else.
