Employees of Sponsor and Prize Provider and their respective parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, and the advertising and promotion agencies involved in the administration of this Sweepstakes, and their immediate family members or household members are not eligible to participate in or win the Sweepstakes. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any person who fails to meet the eligibility requirements or any person it determines, in its sole discretion, to be sufficiently connected with the Sweepstakes such that such person’s participation could create the appearance of impropriety. Entries generated by script, macro or other automated means are void, and Sponsor expressly reserves the right to disqualify any entries that it believes in good faith are generated by an automated program or via scripts. Entries that are determined, in the sole discretion of the Sponsor to constitute advertisements, commercial messages, or “spam” will be disqualified and deleted. All applicable federal, state, and local laws apply. No purchase is necessary to participate in the Sweepstakes.
3. ENTRY. You may enter the Sweepstakes once daily during the Sweepstakes Period by visiting The Money Pit website at https://www.moneypit.com/sweepstakes and submitting your name and email address using the online submission form for this Sweepstakes. A “day” means 12:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. ET. Limit one (1) entry per entrant per day. Multiple entries submitted on the same day will be void. Entries received after the end of the Sweepstakes period will be deemed void. All entries become the property of the Sponsor. Participants who follow the steps outlined above to receive an initial entry may also earn bonus entries (each, a “Bonus Entry”) through social actions such as sharing an entry link on their social media sites, by email or by other method to invite Friends (each, a “Friend”) to enter the Sweepstakes, and/or by subscribing to the Sponsor’s podcast, as well as other actions such as visiting the Sponsor’s website. In order to receive bonus entries, the Friend(s) who learned of the Sweepstakes via a participant’s bonus entry link must also be eligible as per these Official Rules and enter the Sweepstakes by following the steps for him/her to receive an initial entry. If a Friend who learned of the Sweepstakes via a participant’s bonus entry link is not eligible or does not enter the Sweepstakes by following the steps to receive an initial entry, a bonus entry will not be awarded to the participant for that Friend. Participants should obtain the consent of participant’s Friend before inviting them to participate in the Sweepstakes.  Bonus Entries will not be provided if Sponsor determines, in their sole discretion, that (a) a Friend’s email address or Social Media Profile is not valid; (b) the Friend’s email address or Social Media Profile was not provided in accordance with these official Sweepstakes rules; or (c) another participant who previously submitted an (initial) entry already received a Bonus Entry by inviting that Friend to enter the Sweepstakes.  BY PARTICIPATING IN THE SWEEPSTAKES, YOU AGREE THAT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED FROM OR ABOUT YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE SWEEPSTAKES MAY BE USED BY SPONSOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH SPONSOR’S PRIVACY POLICY AT HTTPS://WWW.MONEYPIT.COM/PRIVACY-POLICY AND PROVIDED TO THE PRIZE PROVIDERS IN ORDER TO FULFILL THE PRIZE AND/OR MAKE CONTACT WITH YOU. BY ENTERING THE SWEEPSTAKES, YOU FURTHER CONSENT TO RECEIVE MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS FROM DAICH COATINGS AND MONEYPIT.COM.  BY PARTICIPATING IN THE SWEEPSTAKES, ALL ENTRANTS AGREE TO ABIDE BY THESE OFFICIAL RULES.
4. WINNER SELECTION. Following the end of the Sweepstakes period, employees or representatives of Sponsor will randomly draw Two (2) potential Grand Prize winner and Twenty (20) potential Runner Up winners from all eligible entries to receive the prize. Only one (1) prize will be awarded to a single winner. The number of eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes period determines the odds of winning. The Sweepstakes will be conducted under the supervision of the Sponsor. If a winner is determined to be ineligible, forfeits or does not claim the prize, the Sponsor reserves the right to award the prize to a new winner based on a subsequent drawing from the pool of eligible entries. Other restrictions may apply. Decisions of the Sponsor are final and binding with respect to all matters related to the Sweepstakes. In no event shall the Sponsor be obligated to award more prizes than the number of prizes stated in these Official Rules. By entering or accepting a prize in the Sweepstakes, the Winner agrees to be bound by these Official Rules and to comply with all federal, state and local laws and regulations. As a condition to claiming the prize and being verified as the winner, a potential winner will be required to execute and return to Sponsor within five business days an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability and Publicity Release. The potential winner will also be sent a relevant tax form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification) and 1099-misc form from the Prize Provider to be eligible for the prize, or an alternate winner may be selected. Winner may be required to furnish proof of identity, address and birthdate in order to be verified as the winner to receive the prize. The potential winner will be notified by email or by phone; Sponsor reserves the right to determine the method of notification. The potential winner must respond to Sponsor’s attempt to contact such person within forty-eight (48) hours after the date of notification. Failure to respond to the prize notification attempt within the specified forty-eight (48) hours will be considered such potential winner’s forfeiture of the opportunity to claim the prize and an alternate winner may be selected from the pool of eligible entries. If an entrant is found to be ineligible, an alternate winner may also be selected from the pool of eligible entries. Sponsor reserves the right to ship the prize directly to the physical address provided during entry. Prize will be shipped in coordination with the winner following completion of winner verification.

Any shipping delays by the carrier elected are beyond Sponsor and Prize Provider’s control and will be notified to the winner if and when they arise. An entrant or winner may be disqualified from the Sweepstakes, and his or her entry may be deleted, if he or she fails to comply with each provision of these Official Rules, as determined in the sole discretion of the Sponsor.
