6.PRIZES, PRIZE CONDITIONS AND ODDS Prizes will be awarded per Entry Period (each, a “Prize” and collectively, the “Prizes”). The exact number of Entry Period Single Winner Prizes, H Winner Prizes and Blackout Winner Prizes depends on whether Game Events happen and whether a randomly generated Bingo game board results in a Winning Event.
- Entry Period Single Winner Prizes: First ten (10) Entry Period Single Winner will each receive an offer one (1) free adult admission, redeemable through the offer expiration date, to the Cincinnati Reds Hall Of Fame & Museum (, a “Entry Period Single Prize”).

Released Parties (a) make no warranty, guaranty or representation of any kind concerning any Prize (or any portion thereof), and (b) disclaim any implied warranty.
Odds of winning a Prize depend on the order and type of Game Events to happen during the applicable Entry Period and the placement of the Game Events on your Bingo game board for such Entry Period. All Entry Period Single Prizes and H Prizes accumulated during one game do not carry-over to any subsequent game. Entries for Monthly Blackout Prizes do not carry-over to subsequent months.
7. WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION. The Application will automatically notify you if you are a potential winner. Follow the instructions appearing in the Application prize notification to claim your Prize as directed and within the time frame noted in such prize notification.
Each entrant is responsible for monitoring his/her Application for prize notification and receipt of other communications related to Bingo. If a potential winner does not claim his/her Prize during the time frame noted in the prize notification or above, as applicable, that potential winner forfeits his/her Prize, and the Prize will go unawarded. Upon request of Sponsor, the potential winner may be required to return an Affidavit of Eligibility, Release and Prize Acceptance Form in a form provided by Sponsor. If a potential winner fails to comply with these Official Rules, that potential winner will be disqualified and Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may select the individual to achieve the applicable Winning Event after the applicable cut-off number noted above an alternate potential winner (e.g., if a potential H Winner is disqualified, the sixth [6th] individual whose Bingo board results in a H Winning Event may be notified as an alternate potential H Winner). Less than the number of Prizes noted above may be awarded for an Entry Period if and depending on the number of Winning Events that occur during an Entry Period.
In no event will Sponsor be required to award more than the number of prizes stated in these Official Rules.
