The Winner Documents, if required, are each subject to verification by Sponsor and may require providing a valid government ID number and/or identification card or number therefrom. If any communication is returned as undeliverable or if a selected potential winner cannot be reached or does not respond as instructed after Sponsor has attempted to notify that potential winner, that selected winner may be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected (time permitting and in Sponsor’s sole discretion).
