The second method is an email option; entrants may send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "100K FOLLOWERS GIVEAWAY," and including the entrant’s contact info including name, phone number and the local Ocean State Job Lot store they shop at. An entry received outside of the Sweepstakes Period will be deemed ineligible.

Prize drawing: The following day after each posted trivia question, the Sponsor will select (1) potential winner in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received. There will be (1) winner per trivia question for a total of (5) potential winners. The odds of being selected depend on the number of entries received. The Sponsor will attempt to notify the potential winner via the entrants method of entry (social media), telephone or email within 48 hours of drawing.
