Entries using automated means to generate entries, or otherwise participate are not eligible. Use of any automated system to enter as determined by HomeLend in its sole judgment is prohibited and will result in disqualification at HomeLend’s sole discretion.

No cash or other substitution may be made, except by HomeLend, who reserves the right to substitute a Prize with another prize of equal or greater value if that Prize is not available for any reason as determined by HomeLend in its sole discretion. Winners are responsible for any taxes associated with receipt of a Prize.
8. DRAWING: The potential winner of the Prize will be chosen in a random drawing from the pool of valid entries at noon on December 28th, 2021.

Alternate potential winners will be notified by email. HomeLend and its affiliates, or their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, will not be liable for unsuccessful efforts to notify a winner.

If a potential winner declines the Prize, does not respond to the Prize notification, fails to claim the Prize, is unavailable for Prize fulfillment, fails to abide by the Official Rules, or is ineligible, HomeLend will select an alternate winner from all remaining valid entries received for the Sweepstakes Term.
