Prizes are anticipated to be the TSV item(s) of the day and vary in retail value but may consist of individual or bundled items, or other merchandise products.

Prizes will be awarded only assuming sufficient eligible Entries are received for that particular Sweepstakes. If because of technical, typographical, mechanical, communication or other errors or for any other reason, there are more claims for a prize than prizes offered for a Sweepstakes, and only if considered equitable and feasible by Sponsor, a random drawing will be held among all eligible non-suspect claimants in such category to award such TSV prize for the respective Sweepstakes. Prizes cannot be assigned, transferred, redeemed for cash, or substituted, except by Sponsor who may, at its sole discretion, substitute a prize, or any item therein with a prize or substitute item of equal or greater value.
