dlow206 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Grand prize seems almost impossible to win. I don't think anyone will win it. You have to get the following right to be eligible for the grand prize. Winner of the 2020 Masters, Runner up of the 2020 Masters, Winner’s back 9 score on Sunday at the Masters, Winner’s 18-hole total on Sunday at the Masters, and Runner up’s back 9 score on Sunday at the Masters.

Winner of the 2020 Masters, Runner up of the 2020 Masters, Winner’s back 9 score on Sunday at the Masters, Winner’s 18-hole total on Sunday at the Masters, and Runner up’s back 9 score on Sunday at the Masters. I was curious about this language, too. I've run site contests/sweepstakes like this in the past and the way I read it was not, "you must get these answers correct to win the prize" but more "since we'll be drawing multiple names, we need a way to determine the winner." So if some random ends up winning the Masters I believe they will still give out a grand prize, it will just be based on the score(s) chosen and not the tournament winners chosen - eg: Let's say Sandy Lyle wins. Well no one probably picked ole' Sandy, so then it would go to the score for Sunday back 9, if that's the same, then it would go to total score for Sunday, and on down the list until they find whomever was closest and they can definitively say who is the grand prize winner. Next closest would be 1st prize winner, then 2nd, and on down the winner rankings. The rest of the names drawn would get the $25gc. If they don't give out a prize, as advertised, it could easily lead to a lawsuit - which I've unfortunately been involved in with one company (not my fault!!) since the business owner tried to get a little too sneaky with the rules and regs and the FTC came down hard on him/us.

I read the language multiple times. Still think that its not guaranteed for someone to win the grand prize. They go out of their way to call out in the language that winners are guaranteed for the non-grand prizes. To be eligible to win the Grand Prize, you must correctly answer the following: Winner of the 2020 Masters, Runner up of the 2020 Masters, Winner’s back 9 score on Sunday at the Masters, Winner’s 18-hole total on Sunday at the Masters, and Runner up’s back 9 score on Sunday at the Masters. Winners are guaranteed for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 50 other consolation prizes. Winners will be selected from all eligible entries within the contest period and containing accurate contact information. You do not need to correctly guess the winner, runner up, total score of winner’s Sunday round and their back 9 scores to be eligible for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd,4th,5th,6th and 50 consolation prizes.

Gets in to a bit of a legal grey area, from my very basic understanding on sweeps law - requiring skill based questions/answers is not very common in the US for this reason. I would personally avoid it, but I'm not running the sweeps!
