or legal guardian. If such documents are not returned on a timely
basis, or if notification of prize is returned as non-deliverable, or
if a potential winner of the prize is found to be ineligible or not
in full compliance with these Official Rules, then the potential winner
will be disqualified and the prize will be forfeited. Sponsor
will then notify the next highest scoring entry from that weekly period
in order to award the prize. Each Weekly prize will be shipped
