9. WINNER NOTIFICATION: If a player’s entry is selected in the Promotion drawing, the player will be contacted by phone, e-mail, and/or U.S. mail by the Illinois Lottery.

The claim form must be returned to the proper location prior to 4:30 p.m. CT on the twentieth business day after the drawing, or an alternate Prizewinner will be selected.
Any prize/prize notification returned as undeliverable will result in disqualification and an alternate Prizewinner will be selected. A selected Prizewinner who is contacted and fails to provide all information requested (e.g., age verification, address verification, signed publicity/liability release and affidavit as to identity, and social security number) in the time required will forfeit the Prize and an alternate Prizewinner will be selected.
10. GENERAL PRIZE RESTRICTIONS: Only (1) one Prizewinner per household will be allowed. If due to a printing, production or other error more Prizes are claimed than are intended to be awarded, the intended Prize or Prizes will be awarded in a random drawing from among all verified and validated entries. All Prizes won by Prizewinners will be subject to the Sponsor’s debt setoff procedures.
MDI will contact the Prizewinner within ten (10) business days from the time that the approved claim is timely provided to MDI or the Illinois Lottery, as required. MDI or the Illinois Lottery shall withhold from such Prizes the minimum required federal tax withholdings and any applicable state tax withholdings and shall deposit said withholdings on behalf of the Prizewinners to the appropriate agencies. The Prizewinners shall receive from MDI or the Illinois Lottery an IRS Tax Form W-2G following the completion of the Prize, and a copy shall be provided to the Sponsor. A Prizewinner may be responsible for any additional state or federal taxes resulting from such cash prize(s), above and beyond those taxes withheld, reported and paid on the Prizewinner’s behalf by MDI or the Illinois Lottery to the appropriate agencies. Taxes (including but not limited to federal, state, local or income taxes) are the exclusive and sole responsibility of the Prizewinner. The Prizewinner may be required to provide his or her Social Security number and appropriate tax documentation for tax reporting purposes. The Illinois Lottery or the Administrator will file, as necessary, an IRS Form W-2G 1099 or similar document with the Internal Revenue Service for the fair market value of any Prize.
The Prizewinner and his or her respective guest(s) must have a valid credit card or shall be required to post cash deposit for incidentals to check into the hotel. In general, the minimum age requirement to check into a hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada is twenty-one (21), and at least one (1) occupant in the hotel room must be at least twenty-one (21) years of age. The Prizewinner is solely responsible for the actions of the guests who accompany them. If a Prizewinner’s guest is a minor, the Prizewinner must (a) be the parent or legal guardian of such guest, or (b) must present a notarized, written consent from the minor’s parent or legal guardian for the minor guest to accompany the Prizewinner on the trip. At the time that a Prizewinner claims his or her prize, such Prizewinner shall be deemed to have taken ownership of the entire prize, even if they are unable to use any or all element(s) of the prize (e.g., airfare and hotel accommodations), and the full claimed value of the entire Prize (including the value of the travel portion) shall be reported to the IRS. Accordingly, the Prizewinner may be responsible for any additional state or federal taxes resulting from the claimed Prize, above and beyond those taxes withheld, reported and paid on the Prizewinner’s behalf to the appropriate agencies.
If the Prizewinner is traveling via air and fails to appear at the designated time and place of departure (excluding flight delays), MDI will use reasonable efforts to reschedule the flight at the expense of the Prizewinner. If MDI is not able to reschedule the flight, then the Prize shall be forfeited, including but not limited to the participating hotel room, airport ground transportation, and any and all other non-contracted portions of the Prize provided to the Prizewinner on behalf of MDI, with the exception of the three thousand dollars ($3,000) cash portion of the Prize and the return airfare, less any tax withholdings.. If the Prizewinner fails to check in to the participating hotel when he or she arrives in Las Vegas, MDI will use reasonable efforts to hold the reservation at the participating hotel. It is the Prizewinner’s responsibility to communicate with MDI, if there is going to be a delay in their hotel registration. If a Prizewinner has communicated the delay with MDI, MDI and the participating hotel will hold the hotel room at the participating hotel on behalf of the Prizewinner. If the Prizewinner fails to check in to the participating hotel when he or she arrives in Las Vegas and does not communicate with MDI regarding the delay in hotel registration, and MDI cannot contact the Prizewinner, then the participating hotel room will be cancelled, and the balance of the trip portion of the Prize shall be forfeited, including but not limited to the participating hotel room, airport ground transportation, and any and all other non-contracted portions of the Prize provided to the Prizewinner on behalf of MDI, with the exception of the three thousand dollars ($3,000) cash portion of the Prize and the return airfare, less any tax withholdings.
