Online entrants to the Sweepstakes may be given the option to receive commercial e-mails from Sponsor, ANLBC, and/or Dickey; however, eligibility to participate in the Sweepstakes is not dependent upon entrant’s consent to receive such e-mails and consenting to receive such e-mails will not impact your chances of winning.

Sponsor, ANLBC and/or Dickey will use e-mail addresses provided via the Mail-in entry method for prize notification purposes only; however, eligibility to participate in the Sweepstakes is not dependent upon entrant’s provision of this information. Mail-in entries must be received by September 18, 2021 to be eligible. Mail-in entries become the property of the Sponsor, ANLBC and/or Dickey and will not be returned. RANDOM DRAWING: Each potential winner of the Sweepstakes (each, a “Potential Winner”) will be selected by random drawing prior to each Atlanta Braves game during the Sweepstakes Period (each, a “Game Day”) from among all eligible entries received as of the drawing date. The decisions of Sponsor and ANLBC are final and binding on all matters relating to this Sweepstakes. Non-winning eligible entries from one drawing will carry over into subsequent drawings, if any. Odds of winning a Prize (defined below) depend on the total number of eligible entries received for the drawing at issue and whether any home runs are hit by the Atlanta Braves during the Home Run Innings (defined below) throughout the Sweepstakes Period. PRIZES: If an Atlanta Braves player hits a home run in the Braves’ offensive half of the sixth (6th) inning (the “Home Run Inning”) the eligible Potential Winner selected prior to the applicable game will be considered a winner (each a “Winner”) and receive the prize as described below (the “Prize”). Beginning as of April 1, 2021, the Prize will be one thousand dollars ($1,000) cash. If no home run is hit in the Home Run Inning of the April 1, 2021 Game Day, no Prize will be awarded for that Game Day, and the Prize will increase by one hundred and fifty dollars ($150) for each subsequent Game Day until the Atlanta Braves hit a home run in a Home Run Inning. In the event the Atlanta Braves hit a home run in a Home Run Inning during the Sweepstakes Period, the Prize will be awarded as calculated above and reset to one thousand dollars ($1,000) for the subsequent Game Day. By way of example only, in the event there are no Winners as of April 10, 2021 (and all scheduled games are played from April 1, 2021 – April 10, 2021), and the Atlanta Braves hit a home run in the April 10, 2021 Game Day, the Prize shall have increased to $2,050 as of that Game Day, and the eligible Potential Winner will receive $2,050 cash and the Prize for the April 11, 2021 Game Day will be reset to $1,000. In the event the Atlanta Braves do not hit any home runs in any Home Run Inning during the Sweepstakes Period, the Second Chance Drawings (as described below) will apply. (Estimated Retail Value (“ERV”) of each Prize will range from: $1,000 to $25,150). Exact Prize details to be determined in sole discretion of Sponsor and/or ANLBC. For the avoidance of doubt, a maximum of one (1) Prize will be awarded for each Game Day. Limit one (1) Prize per person, family or household. SECOND CHANCE DRAWING: All non-winning eligible entrants who entered the Sweepstakes during the Entry Period will be eligible for the Second Chance Drawing, only if necessary. If the Atlanta Braves do not hit any home runs in any Home Run Inning during the Sweepstakes Period, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, and/or a Prize has not been awarded upon conclusion of Sweepstakes Period, a second chance random drawing will be held to determine five (5) potential Winners who, upon verification of eligibility, will each receive five thousand thirty dollars ($5,030) (each a “Second Chance Prize”). If the Second Chance Drawing is necessary, it will take place on or about October 15, 2021. The odds of winning the Prize in the Second Chance Drawing, if any, depends upon the number of non-winning eligible entries received during the entire Entry Period. The ERV of each Second Chance Prize (if any): five thousand thirty dollars ($5,030); the ERV of all Second Chance Prizes (if any): twenty- five thousand one hundred fifty dollars ($25,150). For the avoidance of doubt, potential Second Prize winners will be required to comply with all requirements imposed on Winners set forth in these Official Rules. Each Winner is fully responsible for any and all applicable federal, state and local taxes (including income and withholding taxes). Cash prizes will be awarded in the form of a check in U.S. dollars. All costs and expenses associated with Prize acceptance and use not specified herein as being provided, including but not limited to lodging, transportation costs, meals, gratuities and other expenses incurred by accepting the Prize are the sole responsibility of the Winner.
