Sponsor will conduct the drawing at their headquarters in Chicago, IL USA, under the supervision of the Administrator. Each Employee listed on the winning nomination and the corresponding Customer Entrant who nominated him/her with respect to that particular nomination will each be deemed prize winners. Odds of winning a prize are dependent upon the number of eligible nominations received during the Sweepstakes Period.
