How to enter: To enter the Promotion, entrants must do the following during the Entry Period:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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

legal duty of care owed to the entrant by Promoter; (b) the loss or damage was not caused by a breach of
these Terms by Promoter or its agents or representatives; (c) it was not

circumstance beyond Promoter’s reasonable control;
-
Except to the extent caused by the negligence of Promoter or its agents or representatives, Promoter will
not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, personal injury or death

that in the event of a win their surname and county of residence may be
disclosed to persons enquiring, where permitted by law. Any entrant may object to their information being made
available in this way, or may request that the amount of information made
available be reduced, by contacting Promoter using the contact details at the end of these Terms. In these
circumstances, the entrant acknowledges that Promoter may nevertheless disclose
the relevant information, and the entrant’s entry, to the Advertising Standards Authority (and/or any other
competent authority) if required to do so. By way of example, this may happen
where Promoter is required to demonstrate that it has awarded the advertised Prizes. To request disclosure of
