The $50k Grand Prize Sweepstakes

Official Rules


NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO PLAY OR WIN. PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR ODDS OF WINNING.


PROMOTION DESCRIPTION: The $50k Grand Prize Sweepstakes (the “Promotion”) begins on April 18, 2022 at 12:00:01 a.m. Eastern Time (“ET”) and ends on April 17, 2023, at 11:59:59 p.m. ET, or when one (1) “Grand Prize” (as described below) has been claimed, whichever occurs first (the "Promotion Period"). The Promotion shall include separate weekly periods, which shall mean any seven (7) day period during the Promotion Period beginning each Monday during the Promotion Period at 12:00:01 a.m. ET and ending each Sunday during the Promotion Period at 11:59:59 p.m. ET (each, a “Weekly Period”). Participation in the Promotion does not constitute participation in any other promotions, contests or sweepstakes. By participating in the Promotion, each entrant unconditionally accepts and agrees to comply with and abide by these Official Rules and the decisions of Arroyo Media, 530 S Lake Ave. #250, Pasadena, CA 91101 (“Sponsor”), which shall be final and binding in all respects.  



ELIGIBILITY: Only legal United States residents residing in the fifty (50) United States and Washington D.C. who are at least eighteen (18) years of age and the age of majority in their jurisdiction of primary residence are eligible to participate. Employees, officers and directors of Employees, officers and directors of Sponsor, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, distributors, retailers, sales representatives, advertising and promotion agencies (collectively, the “Promotion Entities”) and their immediate family members, and/or those living in the same household of each of the foregoing, are ineligible to participate in the Promotion. Promotion is void where prohibited by law.


HOW TO ENTER: To participate in the Promotion go to www.sweepsclub.net (the "Website") and complete the online registration form with the information requested. Then, follow the on-screen instructions to click through a collection of offers. Once you have reviewed all of the available offers, you will be assigned a randomly determined eight (8) digit number (the “Entrant Number”) for the corresponding week. Once you have completed registration and reviewed the offers, you will receive a confirmation email from Sponsor asking you to click the link in the email to confirm your entry. Your entry is not complete and your Entrant Number is not activated until you have clicked on the link in the confirmation email to verify your email address. You do not need to accept any of the offers in order to register for the Promotion. During registration, you will have the opportunity to opt-in to receive telemarketing calls and/or text messages from Sponsor and its partners. Opting-in is optional and will not increase your chances of winning.  


Limit one (1) entry per person, per email address, per day. For purposes of these Official Rules, a “day” is defined as any twenty-four (24) hour period during the Promotion Period beginning at 12:00:01 a.m. ET and ending at 11:59:59 p.m. ET. Any and all entries that are submitted by the same entrant in excess of the applicable limits will be discarded. No individual may use more than one e-mail address to enter, and multiple individuals are not permitted to share the same email address. Any attempt by any individual to obtain more than the permitted number of entries by using multiple/different e-mail addresses, mobile devices, identities, registrations or any other method, will void all of that individual’s entries and that individual will be disqualified from participating in the Promotion. Sponsor reserves the right to reject any entries that it believes, in its sole and reasonable discretion, are fraudulent, incomplete or otherwise invalid. Sponsor is not responsible for entries, Promotion-related e-mails (including confirmation emails), claims or notices that are lost, late, illegible, misdirected, damaged, incomplete or incorrect. By registering for the Promotion, and where you have otherwise provided the requisite consent, you also agree to receive e-mail and direct mail marketing messages from Sponsor and its marketing partners, subject to Sponsor’s Privacy Policy available at http://sweepsclub.net/privacy-policy (the “Sponsor Privacy Policy”). You may opt-out of receiving these marketing messages at any time by following the instructions in the subject marketing message, or utilizing the options made available in the Sponsor Privacy Policy. 



Grand Prize Winner Determination: At the conclusion of each Weekly Period during the Promotion Period, a representative of Sponsor will randomly select one (1) eight-digit number (the “Prize Determination Number”) for that Weekly Period. Sponsor’s representative will then compare all registered Entrant Numbers for the corresponding Weekly Period to the Prize Determination Number. Should any Entrant Number registered during the applicable Weekly Period match the Prize Determination Number for that Weekly Period identically and in order, such entrant will be a potential winner of the Grand Prize, subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules. Should more than one (1) entrant’s Entrant Number match the Prize Determination Number identically and in order, in a given Weekly Period, all entrants with the matching Entrant Number will split the Grand Prize. If there is a potential Grand Prize winner, such Grand Prize winner will be notified via email within ten (10) days of determination to receive instructions on how to verify eligibility and claim the Grand Prize.  


The Promotion Entities shall not be responsible for incorrect or inaccurate entry information whether caused by Internet users or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Promotion or by any technical or human error which may occur in the processing of the entries in the Promotion. The Promotion Entities assume no responsibility or liability for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, theft or destruction, or unauthorized access to, or alteration, of entries. NOTE: Participation must be by the entrant and only as directed in these Official Rules. Participation by any other individual or any entity, and/or originating at any website or other platform, including, but not limited to, commercial promotion subscription notification and/or entering service sites, will be declared invalid and disqualified for this Promotion. The use of any device to automate the entry process is prohibited and will lead to disqualification.


In the event of a dispute over the identity of an entrant, entry will be deemed completed by the authorized account holder of the email address provided at the time of registration. "Authorized account holder" is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an email address by an Internet access provider, on-line service provider, wireless carrier, 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.


If due to technical, production or other errors, more Grand Prizes are claimed than intended, the intended Grand Prize will be awarded in a random drawing from all those submitting purportedly valid claims. No more than the number of Grand Prizes set forth in these Official Rules will be awarded. ALL POTENTIAL WINNING ENTRANT NUMBERS ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY SPONSOR, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING. A "SCREEN SHOT" IS NOT PROOF OR EVIDENCE OF A WINNING ENTRANT NUMBER AND/OR PRIZE. AN ENTRANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE, EVEN IF THE WEBSITE SHOULD SO INDICATE, UNLESS AND UNTIL SAID ENTRANT’S ELIGIBILITY AND THE POTENTIAL WINNING ENTRANT NUMBER HAVE BEEN VERIFIED AND SAID ENTRANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THAT VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE. SPONSOR WILL NOT ACCEPT SCREEN SHOTS OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF WINNING IN LIEU OF ITS VALIDATION PROCESS. The submission of a Grand Prize claim is solely the responsibility of the entrant.


PRIZE: One (1) Grand Prize is available. The Grand Prize consists of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), payable by check in one lump sum (“Grand Prize”). THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE GRAND PRIZE WILL BE AWARDED.

Any potential Grand Prize winner must sign and have notarized an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release, and (where imposing such condition is legally permissible) a Publicity Release (collectively, “Prize Claim Documents”). If a potential Grand Prize winner fails or refuses to sign and return all Prize Claim Documents within five (5) days of notification (or a shorter time if required by exigencies), that potential Grand Prize winner may be disqualified and, at the sole discretion of Sponsor, the Grand Prize will either not be awarded or a new Prize Determination Number will be selected.

GENERAL: Sponsor reserves the right to modify, extend, suspend, or terminate the Promotion if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the Promotion is technically impaired or corrupted or that fraud or technical problems, failures or malfunctions or other causes beyond Sponsor’s control have destroyed or severely undermined or to any degree impaired the integrity, administration, security, proper play and/or feasibility of the Promotion as contemplated herein.
