This Sweepstakes is sponsored by ALDI, Inc., 1200 N. Kirk Rd., Batavia, IL 60510 (“Sponsor”).
ELIGIBILITY:
This Sweepstakes is open to legal residents of one (1) of the fifty (50) United States or the District of Columbia who are at least 18 years old and the age of majority in their state of residence at time of entry (the “Territory”). Employees, officers, directors, members, managers, agents, and representatives of Sponsor or Weber Shandwick, or their respective corporate parents, partners, divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates, assigns, and successors in interest, each of their respective advertising, promotion and public-relations agencies, and any other party participating in the development, design, administration, or fulfillment of this Sweepstakes (collectively, the “Released Parties”), and the immediate families (defined as any spouse, partner, parent, legal guardian, sibling, child, legal ward, grandparent, or grandchild, regardless of where they reside) and members of the same household (whether legally related or not) of each such individual, are ineligible to participate or win the prize in this Sweepstakes. Participation in this Sweepstakes constitutes participant’s full and unconditional agreement to and acceptance of these Official Rules and the decisions of Sponsor.
HOW TO ENTER:
During the Sweepstakes Period, to receive one (1) entry, eligible participants must complete and submit the online entry form available by scanning the Quick Response Code (the “QR Code”) for this Sweepstakes posted on signage at the ALDI Store during the Sweepstakes Period.

Any purported entries that are incomplete or completed/received outside of the Sweepstakes Period will be void. Sponsor’s determination of eligibility and the earning or failure to earn an entry into the Sweepstakes will be final and binding on all participants. Purported entries that are fraudulent, forged, altered, incomplete, lost, late, misdirected, mutilated, illegitimate, incomprehensible, garbled, or generated by a macro, bot, or other automated means will not be accepted and any purported entry earned thereby will be void. Entries or participation made on behalf of any other individual or any entity or group will be declared invalid and disqualified for this Sweepstakes. If there is any technological error or difficulty with the Sweepstakes, Sponsor reserves the right to suspend the Sweepstakes and refuse to award any associated prizes until the technical difficulties are resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction. In the event of a dispute about the identity of an entrant, Sponsor may disqualify the entrant in its sole discretion. Sponsor is the official timekeeper for the Sweepstakes. By entering the Sweepstakes, each participant agrees to be bound by these Official Rules or the instructions of Sponsor or its representatives, whose decisions are final and binding on all matters relating to the Sweepstakes. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements in these Official Rules. As a condition of entering the Sweepstakes, without limiting any other provision in these Official Rules, each participant gives consent for Sponsor and its agents to obtain and deliver their name and other information and content to third parties for the purpose of administering this Sweepstakes and complying with applicable laws, regulations, and rules.
WINNER SELECTION/NOTIFICATION:
Within approximately seven (7) business days after the conclusion of the Sweepstakes Period, Sponsor will conduct a randomized drawing to select one (1) potential winner (“Winner”) from among all eligible entries received throughout the Sweepstakes Period. Odds of being selected depend on the number of eligible entries received.

The Winner will be notified by mail, phone, and/or email within approximately ten (10) business days of the drawing. The Winner must respond to such notification accordance with Sponsor’s instructions within seven (7) business days (or other time frame as indicated in Sponsor’s notification to the Winner). Sponsor reserves the right to choose an alternate winner in the event that a potential winner has been disqualified or is deemed ineligible (including, without limitation, if an attempted notification or prize is returned as undeliverable), in Sponsor’s sole discretion. As a condition of receiving the Grand Prize, the Winner may be required to complete and sign an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability and Publicity Release (unless prohibited by law), any required tax documentation, and any other documents required by Sponsor (collectively, the “Winner Documents”). Failure to complete the Winner Documents in the form provided by Sponsor’s representative, and in accordance with Sponsor’s representative’s instructions, may result in forfeiture of the Grand Prize.

Sponsor reserves the right to contact any participant for verification purposes and administration of the Sweepstakes. The Grand Prize, if legitimately claimed, will be awarded. Sponsor will not be obligated to pursue more than three (3) alternate winners for any prize.
GRAND PRIZE & APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUE (“ARV”):
Subject to verification, one (1) confirmed winner will receive a prize consisting solely of one (1) five-hundred dollar ($500) ALDI gift card (the “Grand Prize”). Gift card is subject to all terms and conditions imposed on its use by its issuer, as specified on the gift card or in its accompanying materials, and is valid only in the U.S.A. for use at ALDI locations.

Sponsor will not replace any lost, mutilated, or stolen prizes or prize elements or any prizes that are undeliverable or do not reach any Winner because of an incorrect or changed address or bank routing information. Sponsor is not responsible and will have no liability for Winner’s inability to accept or use the prize for any reason. If Winner does not accept or use the entire prize, the unaccepted or unused part of the prize will be forfeited, and Sponsor will have no further obligation with respect to that prize or portion of the prize. No transfers, cash redemptions, or prize substitutions will be made, except at Sponsor’s sole discretion. Winner is strictly prohibited from transferring the right to receive the prize, except with Sponsor’s permission, which may be granted or withheld for any reason in its sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute any prize or portion thereof with another prize or portion thereof of equal or greater value for any reason, including unavailability of the stated prize.

Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to void the entry of any entrant who Sponsor believes has attempted to tamper with or impair the administration, security, fairness, or proper play of this Sweepstakes. Sponsor’s failure or decision not to enforce any provision in these Official Rules will not constitute a waiver of that or any other provision.

In the event that any provision is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, these Official Rules will otherwise remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein. If the Sweepstakes is not capable of running as planned for any reason, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, modify, or suspend the Sweepstakes and award the prizes from eligible, non-suspect entries received prior to cancellation, modification, or suspension (if any) or as otherwise deemed fair and appropriate by Sponsor.
