  6. How to enter: To enter the Promotion, entrants must do the following during the Entry Period:
  7. Allocating your entry to a Weekly Draw: Entrants who submit a valid entry will be entered into the Weekly Draw corresponding to the Weekly Entry Period in which they submitted their entry form. This means that if a qualifying purchase is made in the first Weekly Entry Period, but the entry form is submitted during the third Weekly Entry Period, the entrant will qualify for the third Weekly Draw. Alternatively, if an entrant makes a qualifying purchase in the first and second Weekly Entry Periods but submits the entry forms in the fourth Weekly Entry Period, both entries will be entered into the fourth Weekly Draw.
  8. Limits on the number of entries: A limit of thirty (30) entries per person applies to this Promotion. The thirty (30) entries may be submitted for a single Weekly Draw or may be spread across multiple Weekly Draws. This is determined by the date on which the entry forms are submitted (see Section 7 above). A separate entry form must be completed for each entry. If an entrant exceeds the maximum number of permitted entries, any entries submitted in excess of the limit will be disregarded and will not be entered into any Weekly Draw. Entries will be counted in the order in which they were actually received by the Promoter. All entries must be submitted by the person named in the Promotion entry. Anyone trying to circumvent this rule by using alternative details will be disqualified from this Promotion.
  9. Prizes and winner selection: There will be a total of five (5) ticket prize packages available to be won in the first Weekly Draw (“Ticket Prize Packages”) and one (1) merchandise prize package available to be won in each of the remaining three (3) Weekly Draws (“Merchandise Prize Packages”) (each a “Prize”). Each entrant will be eligible to win a maximum of one (1) Prize, regardless of the total number of entries submitted. If an entrant wins a Prize in any Weekly Draw, all eligible entries into any subsequent Weekly Draw will be disregarded.
