Contest is free and open to anyone anywhere in the world who will be at least 18 years old and no more than 89 years old on June 20, 2002. Void where prohibited.
To play: Fill out the registration form completely including date of birth (month, day and year) and click on the Register button. Entries are limited to one per person using this registration form. One additional entry per person per day may be obtained by activating your EZsweeps.com Personal Portfolio and returning to the EZsweeps.com site once each day. Any multiple or subsequent entries by the same contestant into the $5 Million Dollar Birthday GameTM which are obtained in any other fashion are invalid and will be discarded. You should receive an Email from us within 24 hours confirming your entry. (If you don't, please register again. Check your Email address carefully and remember to click on the Register button once you've filled in the form.) Entries must be received no later than the contest deadline of 12:00 Midnight, Central Daylight Time, June 20, 2002. Forms containing incomplete or inaccurate information or received after the contest deadline will be disqualified. Neither EZsweeps.com, Film House, Inc., nor American Media & Special Promotions will be responsible for any entries not properly or accurately transmitted or received due to any cause whatsoever.
The winning birthday (month, day and year) will be selected by American Media & Special Promotions, and placed in a sealed envelope prior to June 20, 2002. American Media and Special Promotions is the insurer of the $5 Million Dollar grand prize. In a random drawing to be held prior to July 5, 2002, one entry will be selected from all valid entries received prior to the contest deadline. If the month on the selected entry matches the month of the predetermined winning birthday, the contestant will win $1,000. If both the month and day of birth on the selected entry exactly match the month and day of the predetermined winning birthday, the contestant will win $2,000. If the birthday (month, day and year) on the selected entry matches the predetermined winning birthday, the contestant will win the grand prize. In any of these events, the entrant will be declared the winner pending presentation and verification of proper identification, including a valid driver's license and birth certificate. The date of birth and contestant's name and address on the identification must match exactly with the date of birth provided on the contest entry. The $5 Million winning date of birth for this contest will fall between July 1, 1912, and June 20, 1984. The winning entrant will receive the $5 Million grand prize as a forty year annuity or, at the option of the underwriter, a cash lump sum of $2,000,000. There will be a maximum of one winner. In the event that the date of birth on the selected entry does not match the winning date of birth in any of the above manners, the selected entrant will receive a consolation prize of $500. Residents of Canada must successfully complete a skills test before being awarded any prize. Void in Quebec and wherever else prohibited by law.
In addition to the $5 million grand prize, there is a prize of $100,000, to be paid over a 10 year period. This prize will be paid to any person who, or website which, refers, as defined below, a new person (one not previously registered in this sweepstakes) who subsequently registers and becomes a grand prize winning contestant. A referral of someone who is already registered in the $5 Million Dollar Birthday GameTM is simply void and of no effect. In the case of a website, a website will be considered a referring website if and only if a person links to the EZsweeps.com $5 Million Birthday GameTM page directly from the affiliate site, and then without leaving the $5 Milion Dollar Birthday GameTM site, registers in the sweepstakes, activates their Personal Portfolio and is subsequently a grand prize winner. Provided, however, that no person who registers as a result of a link from a radio station website, which station is not a licensee of the Birthday GameTM from Film House, is eligible to win the grand prize. Any such radio station would not, therefore, be eligible to win the referral prize. In the case of an individual, you will be considered a referring person if and only if a contestant responds to and registers directly from an email sent as a result of the “tell a friend’ program on the Ezsweeps.com website (click on the “Win $100.000” button on the EZsweeps.com website for more information), activates their Personal Portfolio and then is subsequently a grand prize winner. In the event of multiple referrals of the same individual, the only person eligible for the referral prize is the person whose name appears on the email to which the contestant responds. In the event a selected contestant does not win the grand prize, no consolation prize will be awarded to the referring website or person.
Winners will have ten days to claim their prizes and must present proper identification in person to American Media & Special Promotions, 55 Scott Street, Buford, GA, USA 30518 after the documented win. American Media & Special Promotions reserves the right to extend this ten day period to another specified time to accommodate the winner in the event of an unusual circumstance.
A birth certificate, driver's license or other identification which is counterfeit, illegible, tampered with or otherwise altered will not be honored and the contestant will be disqualified and ineligible to win. Another finalist/contestant will not be selected in this event.
The odds of being selected as the official finalist/contestant depend on the number of entries received. The odds of matching the predetermined winning birthday are 1:26,645. All federal, state and local laws apply. All taxes are the sole responsibility of the winner. Winner will be required to complete IRS form W-9. The purpose of this form is to gather the necessary information to complete form 1099-MISC. By signing the W-9 the winner will be attesting to its accuracy. American Media & Special Promotions will file form 1099-MISC with the Internal Revenue Service and furnish the contest winner with a copy of this form. These forms are to be mailed to the contest winner and to the IRS no later than the end of January and February, respectively in the subsequent calendar year.
Contest information and winner's name will be available for inspection at the offices of Ezsweeps.com, LLC. in Nashville, TN during normal business hours, or can be obtained by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope along with the request to Ezsweeps.com, LLC, 810 Dominican Dr., Nashville, TN 37228.
