Prize Drawings/Prizes/Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”): On or about one (1) business day after each Entry

Drawing”), from among all eligible Entries received throughout that Entry Period, in order to select the potential prize
(“Prize”) winner(s) (number of potential prize winners can be found in the chart in Section 4) for the applicable Entry
Period. There will be ten (10) Prize winners total. Once confirmed, as detailed below, each Prize winner will receive three
(3) tickets to a soccer game at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Kissimmee, FL for the applicable date listed in
the chart in Section 4. The total ARV of all Prizes awarded in this Sweepstakes is four hundred and fifty dollars ($450). In
the event there are not enough eligible Entries for any Prize Drawing to award the applicable Prize(s), Sponsor retains the
right only to award as many Prizes as there are eligible Entries. The decisions of Administrator and Sponsor are final and
binding on all matters relating to this Sweepstakes. Odds of winning a Prize are dependent upon the total number of
eligible Entries received for that specific Entry Period. There is a limit of one (1) Prize per person, throughout the entire
Sweepstakes Period. In no event will Sponsor be responsible for awarding more than the stated number of Prizes herein.
Prize conditions may be added or modified by companies providing those portions of the prize. The Prize
restrictions/conditions stated herein are not all-inclusive. No transfer, substitution or cash equivalent for any Prize in
whole or in part will be permitted, except at Sponsor's sole discretion due to Prize unavailability for any reason, and only

Prize Winner Notification/Verification: All potential Prize winners must comply with these Official Rules as
published in order to be confirmed as an official winner and accept a Prize. Sponsor and/or Administrator will not accept
any screen shots or other proof of time of tweet in lieu of their verification process, and all decisions of
Sponsor/Administrator are final and binding. On or about one (1) business day after each Prize Drawing, Sponsor or

Prize winners’ Twitter Account used to enter the Sweepstakes, (note: in order to receive a direct message, you must (a) be
following @DDCentFla and (b) may have to have your account settings set to “unprotected” or “public”). Upon
notification or notification attempt, such potential Prize winner(s) will be required to accept the Prize and confirm their
address for eligibility purposes, or the Prize will be forfeited, and an alternate potential Prize winner will be selected and
notified. Prize winner will then be given the address of the location where they can pick up their Prize or Prize winner
may need to provide mailing address/email address if prize is to be shipped. Sponsor will attempt to contact such potential
Prize winner(s) two (2) times during a one (1) calendar day period. If in any instance, notification attempt(s) for a
potential Prize winner fail for any reason, or if a potential Prize winner is found to have not complied with these Official
Rules, such Prize will be forfeited and an alternate potential Prize winner will be selected from among remaining eligible
Entries, if any. Acceptance of a Prize constitutes permission for the Sponsor and its designees to use the name, Twitter
account information, actual or simulated likenesses, biographical information, city, state, opinions, and Prize information
of Prize winner(s) in connection with the Sweepstakes and the exploitation thereof (including, without limitation, for
advertising and promotional purposes), in perpetuity, throughout the universe, in all media, without additional
compensation, unless prohibited by law. Further, winners shall indemnify the Released Parties from any claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from breach of these Official Rules. In the event of a
dispute as to any Prize winner, the authorized account holder of the email address used to register at www.Twitter.com
will be deemed to be the entrant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an
Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the
domain associated with the submitted address.
