4. How to Enter:
To receive one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes, visit http://wwe.eprize.net/sweeps during the Registration Phase and follow the links and instructions to complete and submit the registration. The registration requires your name, date of birth, the address of your legal residence, e-mail address and a valid telephone or cell phone number. P.O. Boxes are not permitted. Limit: Each entrant may receive one (1) Sweepstakes entry per day during the Registration Phase. You must know the secret word, code or phrase (the “Secret Code”) in order to win a prize. To learn the Secret Code, between 9:00 pm and 10:45 pm ET on June 9, 2008, either:
Watch Monday Night Raw live and the Secret Code will be shown on-screen at least once every thirty (30) minutes; or
Visit www.wwe.com and follow the on-screen instructions to learn the Secret Code.
Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same email address. Any attempt by any participant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that participant’s entries and that participant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of a dispute as to any registration, the authorized account holder of the email address used to register will be deemed to be the entrant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Each entrant may be required to show proof of age, identity and residence as well as proof that he/she is the authorized account holder of the email address associated with an entry.
Please carefully consider which telephone / cell phone number you provide during registration. The number you provide needs to be one that you can be reached on between 9:00 pm ET and 11:15 pm ET on June 9, 2008. Additionally, remember that between 9:00 pm ET and 10:45 pm ET on June 9, 2008, you also need to be able to view the Secret Code by watching the live broadcast of Monday Night Raw or visiting www.wwe.com on the Internet. Since calls to potential winners will be made throughout the live broadcast, it is best to watch for the code as soon as it becomes available!
5. Drawings: Administrator is an independent judging organization, whose decisions as to the administration and operation of the Sweepstakes, including, without limitation, the selection and confirmation of the potential winners, are final and binding. During the Event Phase, at specific times to be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, Sponsor will attempt to award eight (8) prizes by calling entrants that have been randomly selected by Administrator. Randomly selected entrants will be called at the telephone / cell phone number provided during registration and asked for the Secret Code. Calls may take place live on television during Monday Night Raw and an entrant’s voice may be broadcast, and first name, state and hometown disclosed, live on air. With respect to each prize, Administrator will randomly select potential Sweepstakes winners from all eligible entries received during the Registration Phase up to five (5) minutes prior to the time selected by Sponsor for awarding that particular prize (that prize’s “Prize Pool”). If a selected entrant cannot be reached, is unable to provide the Secret Code to Sponsor, or is found to be ineligible, that entrant will be disqualified for the prize in question and another randomly selected entrant from among the Prize Pool will be called and asked for the Secret Code. Entrants must be reachable by phone (at the number provided by entrant during registration) during the Event Phase. Only one (1) attempt will be made to reach an entrant with respect to any particular prize. Non-winning entries are eligible to win any prize that has yet to be awarded. All potential prize winners must be confirmed a winner in accordance with, and must meet all of the requirements of, these Official Rules in order to claim a prize. If a potential winner does not comply with any of the requirements of these Official Rules, even if such person’s name has already been announced on television, the prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner will be randomly selected and confirmed in accordance with these Official Rules. All potential winners will be required to sign and return to Sponsor, within ten (10) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability and, except where prohibited, a Publicity Release in order to claim his/her prize. If the winner is a minor in his/her place of residence, the winner’s parent or legal guardian must sign and return the Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability and Publicity Release and accept the prize on the minor’s behalf. If a potential winner cannot be personally contacted in accordance with these Official Rules, or fails to sign and return the Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability and Publicity Release within the required time period, potential winner forfeits prize. Potential winners must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. In the event that all eight (8) prizes are not awarded during the Event Phase, or in the event any potential winner forfeits a prize after the Event Phase, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner selected by random drawing and confirmed in accordance with these Official Rules. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible or misdirected registrations, which will be disqualified. Prizes will be delivered within eight (8) to ten (10) weeks following winner verification.

Further, no responsibilities are accepted for any additional expenses, omissions, delays, re-routing, or acts of any government or authority.
8. Publicity: Except where prohibited, participation in the Sweepstakes constitutes each participant’s consent to Sponsor’s and its designees’ use of participant’s name, likeness, photograph, voice, opinions and/or hometown and state for promotional purposes in any and all media, worldwide, including without limitation, on live television broadcasts, without further authorization, payment or consideration. Sponsor may also arrange to publicize any or all of a prize winner’s activities related to a prize awarded to him or her and each prize winner hereby consents and grants permission to Sponsor to permit any public relations firm, advertising agency, news or other information gathering agency or institution to be present, observe, make a record of and use and publish such activities.
9. General Conditions: Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify the Sweepstakes, or any part of it, in any way it deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion.

Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or any other Promotion or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
10. Limitations of Liability: The Released Parties are not responsible for: (1) any incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by entrants, printing errors or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Sweepstakes; (2) technical failures of any kind, including, but not limited to malfunctions, interruptions, or disconnections in cellular transmissions, phone lines or network hardware or software; (3) unauthorized human intervention in any part of the entry process or the Sweepstakes; (4) technical or human error of any kind which may occur in the administration of the Sweepstakes or the processing of entries; (5) lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible or misdirected registrations, which will be disqualified; or (6) any injury or damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from entrant’s participation in the Sweepstakes or receipt or use or misuse of any prize.

No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded. In the event that production, technical, seeding, programming or any other reasons cause more than the stated number of prizes as set forth in these Official Rules to be available and/or claimed, Sponsor reserves the right to award only the stated number of prizes by a random drawing among all legitimate, un-awarded, eligible prize claims.
