ENTRIES WILL NOT BE JUDGED.

7. Winner Selection: Sponsor will randomly select one (1) potential winner, per Drawing Period, from all eligible Entries received during the Entry Period, for a total of eleven (11) potential winners, on or around the date(s) outlined in the chart in Section 4.   The odds of winning depend upon the number of eligible Entries received.

8. Prize Notification and Delivery: The Sponsor will announce the potential winner(s) on the AMD Discord Server and will notify each potential winner by Discord’s Private Message Tool shortly after they are drawn on the Drawing Date. Within one (1) hour of the Sponsor’s notification, the winner must supply any requested information for the administration of the Sweepstakes. Potential winners will be required to sign and return to the Sponsor, a fully completed and legible Declaration of Eligibility, Liability, and Publicity Release ("Declaration") including the potential winner’s US social security number or foreign equivalent, except where prohibited by applicable law to claim their prize.

Only three (3) alternate drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded.  Prizes will be distributed to the winner within 6 weeks of the winner’s announcement upon completion of the Sweepstakes.
