from all eligible Entries received during the entire Sweepstakes Period. Potential
winners will be notified through Twitter by @NutterButter on September 27, 2021
and will be directed to a secure website where they will be required to provide
their name, date of birth, valid email address and mailing address within three

prize is returned as undeliverable, or if a potential
winner is deemed ineligible to receive a prize for any reason, the
applicable prize will be forfeited and
may be awarded to an alternate winner in a random drawing from among all
remaining eligible Entries. If necessary, only three (3) such alternate drawings will be held, after which the
prize will remain un-awarded if it is unclaimed. All prizes will be
awarded provided they are claimed properly in accordance with these Official
