To learn how Participants’ information will be protected, please take a look at the Sponsor’s Privacy Policy at http://www.thehuntforamillion.com/content/?page=privacy .
The Contest is an Internet-based game only. Entries will only be accepted online. No faxed, mailed, electronically mailed, or phoned in Entries are allowed. All Entries become the property of the Sponsor and will not be returned to Participants. LIMIT ONE CONTEST ACCOUNT PER PERSON, AND ONE ENTRY PER PERSON PER DAY. While Participants may create a Contest Account at any time, only valid Entries into the Contest (which otherwise comply with all requirements of these Terms of Use) will be eligible for the prizes offered in connection with this Contest.
Although multiple attempts to enter may be received, only the first Contest Account and Entry created per day by any individual will be considered in this Contest. Individuals who create multiple Contest Accounts or submit multiple Entries into this Contest will be disqualified from the Contest and inelgible for any prizes. For the purposes of this Contest and these Terms of Use, “receipt” of an Entry occurs when the Sponsor’s servers record the entry information upon the Participant’s clicking the “Register” button at the bottom of the Entry form at the Site. Any automated computer receipt (such as one confirming delivery of email or a “thanks for entering” message) does not constitute proof of actual receipt of an Entry by the Sponsor. The Sponsor assumes no responsibility for advising a Participant of an incomplete or otherwise non-compliant Entry submission. Late, unintelligible, incomplete, or garbled Entries will be disqualified.
In the event of a dispute about the identity of a Participant, each Entry will be declared made by the authorized account holder of the email address submitted at the time of Entry. If a prize is won, and the authorized account holder is a valid Participant, the prize will be awarded to such authorized account holder. “Authorized account holder” is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an email address by an Internet Access Provider, online service provider, or other organization (e.g. business, educational institution, etc.) that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address. A potential winner may be required to provide the Sponsor with proof that he/she is the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the winning Entry.
It is the sole responsibility of each Participant to notify the Sponsor if his/her e-mail address changes.

By entering the Contest, Each Participant agrees to and accepts in full these Terms of Use and the decisions of the Sponsor, which are final and binding in all respects. If a Participant does not understand or agree with any part of these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, or any other rules contained on the Contest Websites, such Participant should not submit an Entry or participate in the Contest.
ARTICLE 4 HOW TO PLAY.
The Contest is a free game of skill. In order to win, Participants will be required to solve a puzzle (each a “Puzzle”) posted on the Site by the Sponsor. Each Puzzle resembles a map that is divided into numerous grids. Each grid of a Puzzle is hyperlinked to an Advertiser’s Site, a website of one of the various advertisers (each an “Advertiser”) sponsoring the Contest. When Participants select a grid, a link is established with the Advertiser’s Site assigned to that grid, which appears in a separate window. Participants must search the Advertiser’s Sites accessed in this manner in order to find clues (each a “Clue”) hidden on the Advertiser’s Sites. There will be 5-20 separate hidden Clues for each Puzzle of the Contest. Only certain Advertiser’s Sites will contain a Puzzle’s Clues. The Advertiser’s Sites that contain the Clues will change for each Puzzle. Once a Clue is discovered, Participants must then find the correct answer to such Clue (each an “Answer”). Each of the Clues will have one Answer. Participants must then submit their solution to the Puzzle to the Sponsor by entering the Answers into the Site’s “clue tracker” in the order determined by the participant (each solution submission is hereinafter referred to as a “Guess”). In order to “win” a Puzzle, a Participant must be the first Participant, who has submitted a valid Contest Entry within a particular Jurisdiction (as defined below), to provide to the Sponsor the Puzzle’s correct solution. Each additional person that solves the puzzle will be entered into a drawing for that day for a daily grand prize. Each correct entry throughout the month will give the participant an entry into the monthly grand prize drawings.
The Sponsor will post a different Puzzle for each jurisdiction (the “Jurisdiction”). Jurisdictions will be determined by the amount of available Advertising within a geographic area. Accordingly, a city such as New York may have several Jurisdictions while a state will relatively low population such as North Dakota may have only one Jurisdiction (or may be combined with other states in order to create a Jurisdiction). Each Participant will automatically be routed to his/her Jurisdiction’s Puzzle when accessing the Site. A Participant is eligible to participant in a and win prizes for only the Puzzles posted in his/her own Jurisdiction.
A new Puzzle will be generated each day at 12:01 a.m. (the “Beginning Time”) in the time zone of the Jurisdiction in which the Puzzle is posted (the “Jurisdiction’s Time Zone”). If no Participant submits a winning solution to a Puzzle before 11:59 p.m. (the “Ending Time”) (in the Jurisdiction’s Time Zone) of the day such Puzzle is posted, there will be no winner for that Puzzle. In other words, a new Puzzle will be posted at the Beginning Time of each day regardless of whether the previous day’s Puzzle was solved or not prior to the Ending Time.
ARTICLE 5 PRIZES.
Each day the Sponsor may award one "Fast Cash" prize (up to $50 value) for the first person in each jurisdiction to correctly solve that day's puzzle. Each month, the Sponsor will award one Puzzle winner in each Jurisdiction a monthly grand prize of between $0 and $50,000.00 cash (the “Grand Prize”). Daily drawing winners for the month will receive a prize valued at $0 to $1,000 each. Participants will not know the prize for any Puzzle until the winner of that Puzzle is determined and announced by the Sponsor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, because the amount or value of all Contest prizes, including the Grand Prize, will be determined by the number of Advertisers sponsoring the Contest in a particular Jurisdiction at a particular time, if a minimum amount of advertising slots has not been filled by Advertisers within that Jurisdiction, the amount or value of any prize for such Jurisdiction may, at the sole discretion of the Sponsor, be reduced subject to notice deemed appropriate by the Sponsor. Alternatively, the Sponsor may, at its sole discretion, pause, suspend or cancel any Contest in any Jurisdiction until the minimum amount of advertising slots for that Jurisdiction has been filled by Advertisers.
Participants are limited to a maximum of three (3) "Fast Cash" prizes. Participants are also limited to two (2) Monthly Grand Prize per year, two (2) Daily prize per year, and one Annual Grand prize. Annual Grand prize winners are not eligible for additional annual grand prizes. Prize limitations may also be imposed by the advertiser or provider of the prize (such as limiting each prize to one per household).
Winners may not substitute, assign or transfer prizes, but the Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to substitute prize with another prize, or to cancel prizes, if necessary. All prizes are awarded “as is” and without warranty of any kind, express or implied, (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability for a particular purpose). The Sponsor expressly disclaims any responsibility or liability for injury or loss to any person or property relating to the delivery and/or subsequent use of the prizes awarded. Any unclaimed prizes will not be awarded. The Sponsor will not replace any lost or stolen prize items.
The Sponsor may require any Participant receiving any prize to provide the Sponsor with proof that he/she meets the eligibility requirements set forth herein to participate in the Contest. Prizes will not be fulfilled outside the U.S. In the event that a prize is won by a Participant who is a minor in his/her jurisdiction of primary residence (including, but not limited to, all participants of the Contest ages 13 through 17), the prize will be awarded to, or in the name of, the minor’s parent/legal guardian. All affidavits, releases and undertakings necessary to claim the prize set forth in these Terms of Use must be executed and undertaken by the parent/legal guardian of the minor, both on behalf of themselves and the minor, or the prize will be forfeited.
In the event that the awarding of any prizes to winners of the Contest is challenged by any legal authority, the Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine whether or not to award such prizes.
Expenses not specifically stated in these Terms of Use, together with the reporting and payment of all applicable taxes, fees, and/or surcharges, if any, arising out of, or resulting from, acceptance or use of a prize, are the sole responsibility of the winner of that prize. It is the policy of the Sponsor, in compliance with United States Internal Revenue Service regulations, to send a Form 1099 to any person who wins in excess of $600 (USD). Winners receiving $600.00 or more agree to submit their valid and legal social security number to the Sponsor and winners understand that their social security numbers will be used to report income to the Internal Revenue Service.
ARTICLE 6 NOTIFICATION.
Immediately after the correct solution to a Puzzle has been submitted via the “clue tracker,” a notice will appear on the Winner page of the Site notifying Participants that the Puzzle has been correctly solved and listing the first name of the Participant who solved the Puzzle and the prize to be awarded in connection with that Puzzle. Within seven (7) days after being declared the winner of the Puzzle on the Site, the Sponsor will also notify each winner by e-mail or regular mail of the prize he/she has won (the “Prize Notification”). The Prize Notification will set forth the process by which winners may claim their prizes. It is the winner’s responsibility to notify the Sponsor if his/her contact information, including email address or residential address, changes. Any Prize Notification returned as undeliverable may result in disqualification of the winner.
All potential winners are subject to verification by the Sponsor, and must meet all eligibility requirements before a prize will be awarded. In addition, a potential winner may be required to provide the Sponsor with proof that the potential winner is the authorized account holder of the e-mail address associated with the winning Puzzle solution entry. Before a prize will be awarded, each winner may be required to sign, notarize and return to the Sponsor an affidavit of eligibility and acceptance of these Terms of Use and a publicity/liability release (unless prohibited by law) within thirty (30) days following attempted Prize Notification. By accepting any prize, each winner grants permission to the Sponsor to use his/her name, address, photograph and/or likenesses for publicity and promotional purposes without further compensation or authorization, unless prohibited by law.
Failure to claim a prize in accordance with the requirements set forth in these Terms of Use and/or within thirty (30) days of the date on which attempted Prize Notification is made shall result in disqualification of the winner and forfeiture of the prize. If a prize is forfeited it will not be awarded to another Contest Participant.
