2024 SUMMERFEST BIG WIN PROMOTION OFFICIAL RULES
By participating in the 2024 Summerfest Big Win Promotion (hereinafter “Promotion”), all individuals participating in the Promotion (each an “Entrant”) acknowledge reading, and further accept and agree to be bound by these Official Rules. Any violation of these rules may result in disqualification. All decisions by Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. (“MWF”) or Interactive Promotions Group, MWF’s prize fulfillment partner for the Promotion, (“IP Group”) regarding the Promotion are final and binding in all respects.
1. PROMOTION PERIOD. This Promotion is a one day Promotion. The Promotion will run on July 6, 2024, from 12:00PM CST through 3:00 PM CST (the “Promotion Period”). MWF’s computer is the official time-keeping device for the Promotion. Five Entrants will be chosen (each chosen Entrant will be a “Contestant”), only one of whom may become the Winner of the Grand Prize (as defined below).
2. ELIGIBILITY. The Promotion is only open to those who are at least 21 years of age as of July 6, 2024. Employees, former employees, agents, successors, assignees, officers, and/or directors of MWF or their Immediate Families, and MWF’s consultants, licensees, contractors, and any individual employed to work on the Henry Maier Festival Park grounds during any MWF-produced event in 2024, and officers, directors, agents, successors, assignees, employees and former employees of Potawatomi Casino | Hotel or any other company providing a Prize (as defined below), (collectively the “Sponsor Entities”) and their Immediate Families (as defined below) and any other persons engaged with the production and/or the administration of any MWF event and/or promotion (collectively, the “Companies”) are not eligible to enter the Promotion. For the purpose of administering this Promotion, “Immediate Family” includes spouses, parents, children, and siblings (including stepparents, stepchildren and stepsiblings) of the employee, former employee, agent, successor, assignee, officer and/or director of MWF or the Sponsor Entities. Winners must provide their first and last name and execute an Affidavit of Eligibility prior to the awarding of any Prize. By participating, Winners also consent to MWF and IP Group using Winner’s name and likeness for promotional purposes without further notice or compensation.
3. HOW TO ENTER. During the Promotion Period, all attendees of Summerfest 2024 presented by American Family Insurance will be admitted free, courtesy of MWF and Potawatomi Casino | Hotel. Attendees who have received a specially marked free ticket to Summerfest 2025 shall place the perforated “Big Win Entry Ticket” portion of the ticket (the “Entry Form”) into the Official Promotion Box located inside the mid-gate of Henry Maier Festival Park and retain the remainder of the Summerfest 2025 ticket. Upon submitting the Entry Form, Participants will be automatically entered into the Promotion. Entry Forms will be distributed to the first 30,000 attendees arriving at Summerfest 2024 during the Promotion Period and an additional 20,000 Entry Forms will be distributed in advance of Summerfest 2024 at Potawatomi Casino | Hotel. No purchase necessary.
4. WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION. Must be present to win. Five Entry Forms will be randomly chosen at 4:00 PM CST at the Miller Lite Oasis Stage at the Henry Maier Festival Park by a representative of MWF and announced publicly at that time and location. Those Entrants holding the portion of the Summerfest 2025 ticket with the number matching one of the five Entry Forms randomly chosen must present the Summerfest 2025 ticket with the matching number to MWF’s designated staff at the Miller Lite Oasis Stage within three minutes of the drawing in order to become a Contestant. If no one presents the Summerfest 2025 ticket with the matching number to MWF’s designated staff at the Miller Lite Oasis Stage within three minutes of the drawing, another Entry Form will be randomly chosen until there are five Contestants or forty total attempts to select five Contestants are made, whichever occurs first. In the event that there are not five Contestants selected after forty attempts to select one are made, no further attempts to select a Contestant will be made and Promotion will proceed with the Contestants already selected to participate in the Promotion. No one Entrant may be awarded more than one Contestant spot in the Promotion and Entrants cannot designate another person to participate as a Contestant on their behalf or transfer their position as a Contestant to another person. The Contestants will each be given one opportunity to drop three ping pong balls into the drop zone tube of the Pong Blingo machine. The goal is to land one ping pong ball into each of the clearly marked designated bottom tubes (slots 2, 7, and 12) (each a “Designated Tube” and collectively the “Designated Tubes”). The balls must be dropped from the drop zone and may not be dropped from anywhere else. No Contestant will be permitted to take a practice, qualifying, or warm-up ball drop. Contestants must drop each ping pong ball into the drop zone one at a time. The next ball cannot be dropped until the preceding ball has come to a stop in one of the tubes at the bottom of the Pong Blingo machine. No part of the Contestant’s body or clothing may come in contact with the Pong Blingo machine or the demarcation line prior to or after releasing any ball. Any such contact shall be considered a foul and the drop shall be deemed a miss. Once the Contestant fails to successfully land a dropped ball consecutively into a Designated Tube, the Contestant has failed to win the Grand Prize. The first Contestant to successfully drop all three ping pong balls and have each one land in a different Designated Tube so that each of the Designated Tubes has one ball in it (the “Winning Drop”) wins the Grand Prize. Any Contestant that does not win the Grand Prize will continue to drop their remaining ping pong balls into the Pong Blingo machine for a chance to win one of five Potawatomi Casino | Hotel prize packages each valued between $275 and $375 (each a “Potawatomi Prize”). A Contestant that lands at least one ping pong ball in a Designated Tube will win a Potawatomi Prize. There will be a maximum of five Potawatomi Prizes available, limited to only one Potawatomi Prize per Contestant. Any Contestant who wins the Grand Prize will not also receive a Potawatomi Prize. If there are any Potawatomi Prizes left after each Contestant has taken their turn at Pong Blingo, the remaining Potawatomi Prize(s) will not be awarded. If no Contestant wins the Grand Prize, the Contestants will each receive a consolation monetary prize with a potential combined total value of $10,000 for all five Contestants (or less if fewer than five Contestants compete for the Grand Prize) (the “Consolation Prizes”). The five available Consolation Prizes will consist of monetary prizes of $5,000; $2,500; $1,500; $500 and $500. Any Contestant who fails to do the Winning Drop will be allowed to immediately draw a Consolation Prize, which will be contained in sealed envelopes, and reveal their prize. Any Contestant who wins the Grand Prize will not also receive a Consolation Prize. In the event fewer than five Consolation Prizes are awarded because: (i) fewer than five Contestants compete for the Grand Prize, or (ii) there is a Grand Prize Winner, any remaining Consolation Prizes will not be awarded to any Entrants or Contestants. Once the Contestants are notified of their Consolation Prize, one monetary prize of $1,000 (the “Bonus Prize”) will potentially be awarded through a random drawing from the remaining Entry Forms in the Official Promotion Box. The Entrant holding the portion of the Summerfest 2025 ticket with the number matching the Entry Form randomly chosen for the Bonus Prize must present the Summerfest 2025 ticket with the matching number to MWF’s designated staff at the Miller Lite Oasis Stage within three minutes of the drawing in order to receive the Bonus Prize. Only one attempt to draw the Bonus Prize will be made. If no one presents the Summerfest 2025 ticket with the matching number to MWF’s designated staff at the Miller Lite Oasis Stage within three minutes of the drawing, no Bonus Prize will be awarded. The odds of becoming a Contestant, winning a Potawatomi Prize, or winning the Bonus Prize are based upon the total number of eligible Entry Forms submitted during the Promotion Period. The maximum number of Entrants is 50,000. All Contestants and anyone randomly chosen to win a Potawatomi Prize or the Bonus Prize shall all be deemed Winners of the Promotion. The Grand Prize, Potawatomi Prizes, Bonus Prize, and Consolation Prizes shall each be a “Prize.” Winners will be notified immediately. There will be no substitution of any Prize.
5. GRAND PRIZE. Winner of the Grand Prize, if awarded, will receive One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00).
6. PRIZE DELIVERY. The Winners must meet all requirements for eligibility to participate in the Promotion and complete and sign an Affidavit of Eligibility, Publicity Release and Liability Waiver and a W-9 tax form, present a government issued photo ID and complete any additional documents requested by MWF (collectively, the “Required Documents”) prior to receiving any Prize. Failure to meet these requirements may result in forfeiture of the Winner’s Prize which will result in that Winner’s Prize not being awarded. Payment of the Consolation Prizes and the Bonus Prize will be by check. All Prizes, except the Grand Prize, will be awarded to the Winners: (i) at the time of the Promotion on July 6, 2024, or (ii) at the time the Winner has completed all Required Documents, whichever is later. Prizes that are not claimed within 90 days of July 6, 2024, due to the Winner’s failure to complete the Required Documents shall be forfeited. Payment of the Grand Prize will be made by IP Group to MWF after IP Group validates the win and after the Grand Prize Winner has completed the Required Documents. After receipt of funds from IP Group, MWF will then make payment to the Grand Prize Winner by check. By entering into the Promotion, Contestants acknowledge and agree that IP Group has the right to conduct a reasonable investigation to confirm the Grand Prize was appropriately awarded before making payment of the Grand Prize. Such investigation may include, if deemed warranted by IP Group based on the facts of the investigation, polygraph examination of the MWF staff who conducted the Promotion and of the Grand Prize Winner. Failure to cooperate with such examination could result in the Grand Prize Winner forfeiting the Grand Prize. MWF will not pay any travel costs for the Grand Prize Winner if needed to participate in IP Group’s investigation.
7. TAXES. Winners must submit W-9 tax forms to MWF before receiving any prize payment. Any federal, state and/or local income and other taxes are the sole responsibility of each Winner.
8. NO PRIZE TRANSFER OR SUBSTITUTION. No Prize, including the Grand Prize, is transferable. There are no substitutions for any Prize. If a Winner would like to relinquish their Prize for any reason, they must contact MWF to coordinate repayment of the Prize.
9. CONSENT AND RELEASE. By entering the Promotion, each Entrant releases and discharges MWF, IP Group, and any other party associated with the development or administration of this Promotion, and each of their respective officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, independent contractors, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, “Released Entities”), from any and all liability whatsoever in connection with this Promotion, including without limitation legal claims, costs, injuries, losses or damages, demands or actions of any kind (including without limitation personal injuries, death, damage to, loss or destruction or property, rights of publicity or privacy, defamation, or portrayal in a false light) (collectively, “Claims”). Entrant acknowledges that if the release of liability in these Official Rules was not as broad as it is, the cost of the Promotion would be considerably higher, and Entrant may not have the ability to participate in the Promotion. Because Entrant wishes to participate in the Promotion, Entrant waives the right to bargain for a different waiver of liability terms. Except where prohibited: (i) acceptance of a Prize constitutes the consent of any Winner, without further compensation, to use the name and likeness of such Winner for editorial, advertising, promotional and publicity purposes by MWF and/or others authorized by MWF; (ii) acceptance of a Prize by a Winner constitutes that Winner’s release of the Release Entities of any and all Claims in connection with the administration of this Promotion; and (iii) all Winners will be required to sign the Required Documents and provide them to MWF before receiving any Prize.
