NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING

1. How To Enter: Food Network Store Instant Win Sweepstakes (the “Promotion”): Look for the Instant Win Sweepstakes code in the December 2015 issue of Food Network Magazine, available via subscription as early as November 16, 2015 and at newsstands approximately November 24, 2015 to January 5, 2016, while supplies last. Exact dates may vary depending on newsstand. There are two (2) ways to enter: Beginning November 16, 2015 at 12:01AM (ET) through December 10, 2015 at 11:59 PM (ET) (the “Entry Period”), either (i) go to foodnetwork.com/instantwin2015 (“Promotion Site”) on a computer or wireless device and complete and submit the entry form, along with the twelve-digit alphanumeric Instant Win Sweepstakes code (“Official Code”), pursuant to the on-screen instructions; or (ii) send an email to foodnetworkinstantwin@hearst.com from a computer or wireless device and you will receive an automatic reply containing the Official Code; then follow the directions in subsection (i).

Important Notice: You may be charged for visiting the mobile website in accordance with the terms of your service agreement with your carrier. If you submit the Official Code at a randomly pre-determined winning moment, or, if no one submits the Official Code at a randomly pre-determined winning moment and you are the first person to submit the Official Code immediately following such winning moment, you will be served a pop-up window which reveals a winning message, and you may have won the prize specified, subject to verification of eligibility and the terms of these Official Rules. The winning date and time is randomly predetermined by the Sponsor, whose decisions are final on all matters relating to this Promotion. If the pop-up window you are served contains any message other than a winning message, you are not a winner. The odds of winning are the same regardless of method of entry. Each person can only enter one time during the Entry Period. IMPORTANT NOTICE: You may be charged for visiting the mobile website in accordance with the terms of your service agreement with your carrier. Please consult your wireless service provider regarding your pricing plan. You must use a Smartphone device to participate via your mobile phone. Not all mobile phone providers carry the necessary service to participate. Check your phone capabilities for specific Internet instructions. If your data usage exceeds what is allotted by your data plan, you could be subject to additional fees by your carrier. Please contact your mobile service provider with any questions regarding your bill.

2. Winner Selection: All eligible entries will be time-stamped on the date of receipt. One (1) winner (the “Winner”) will be selected during the Entry Period from among all eligible entries received using the predetermined winning date and time. In the event the Sponsor does not receive any eligible entries, the Sponsor has the right to cancel the Promotion. Prizes & Approximate Retail Value: One Winner will receive a $1,000 check which may be used at the Food Network Store (“Prize”).

3. WINNER NOTIFICATION: Winner will be notified during the Entry Period or shortly thereafter, via e-mail and/or at Sponsor’s discretion, via phone, postal mail, or overnight delivery service. In the event the Winner doesn’t respond to Sponsor’s notification or does not accept the prize within twenty-four (24) hours of notification, the prize will be deemed forfeited and an alternate Winner will be selected from the remaining eligible entrants using another pre-determining winning date and time stamp. In the event of Sponsor’s inability to contact a potential Winner within a reasonable time period, or any potential winner’s non-compliance with these Official Rules, or in the event that any one or more potential Winner(s) fails to respond as stated above, declines the Prize, or any prize/prize notification is returned as undeliverable, or if a potential Winner fails to provide signed affidavits or releases, such potential Winner will be deemed disqualified and will forfeit the Prize and Sponsor will select an alternate Winner from the remaining eligible entrants using another predetermined winning date and time stamp. If any alternate(s) similarly fails to respond or declines the prize, or becomes ineligible due to any of the above conditions, Sponsor will use a reasonable number of attempts, in its discretion, to award the Prize to another alternate but if it is unable to do so, the Prize will be finally forfeited and Sponsor shall have no further liability in connection with this Promotion.

4. ENTRIES: Limit one (1) entry per person for Promotion. Multiple entries from the same person will be disqualified. Entries become the property of the Sponsor and will not be returned. Proof of submission does not constitute proof of receipt. If applicable, inaccurate, lost, late, misdirected or incomplete or entry forms that have been tampered with will be disqualified. Online entrants must have valid email address and it is entrant’s responsibility to update Sponsor of any change in email address.

Entries, Official Codes, and/or winning messages generated using macro, robotic, script, or other forms of automatic entry or any means which subvert the entry process will be void. All entries become the property of the Sponsor and will not be returned. If due to a printing, production, typographical, human, seeding, computer, technical, or other error, more prizes are claimed than the number set forth in these Official Rules, Sponsor reserves the right to award the stated number of prizes at random from among all verified and validated prize claims received. In no event will Sponsor be liable for awarding more than the advertised number of prizes.
