Things in the rules that work in your favor.

• No limit on how many mail-in envelopes one person may send is stated. Each is worth 1 entry out of at most 1,000 total (stated odds 1:1,000), the same as a $25 purchase, so each stamp buys roughly a 0.1% chance if the pool fills.

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

• Stated odds if all 1,000 entries are sold: 1:1,000. The page says a free mail-in entry carries exactly the same chance as a paid entry.

• Entry page contradicts the rules on costs: it says the sponsor covers all federal and state taxes and flies the winner out or delivers the car at no cost, while the rules make the winner pay taxes, title, registration, insurance, and travel/transportation. The rules (the binding document) were recorded.

  “We cover all applicable federal and state taxes on your prize, so what you win is exactly what you keep.”

• Sponsor's page also says vehicle winners choose a free flight to California or free delivery, which the rules do not promise.

  “For vehicles, you can choose to collect your car in person at our facility in California — flight included, at no cost to you — or have it delivered straight to your door, also at no cost to you.”

• Time zone: the rules write 'PST' (UTC-8) but Oct 3 is in daylight time; the entry page's countdown ends at 11:59 PM Pacific clock time (PDT). Treat the end as 11:59 PM Pacific on Oct 3, but the postmark date is what matters.
