How to Play: The predetermined winning (6) digit number for this contest will be randomly pre-selected and placed in a sealed master envelope. The winning number will be programmed into the key pad and locking mechanism of the “bank vault” that will be used for all contest attempts. Each eligible contestant will each be given one opportunity to attempt the contest.
In order to be a valid attempt, each eligible contestant must complete the following in the presence of the contest administrator:
Print and sign their full name, along with their (6) digit number guess on the first unoccupied line of the provided registration sign-in binder.
After completing the registration binder, the contestant must enter their (6) digit number guess exactly as recorded on the registration form into the digital key pad on the bank vault, followed by the * key on the key pad. (Example – if the contestant’s number guess is recorded as 1-2-3-4-5-6 on the registration form, then they must enter 1-2-3-4-5-6-* on the bank vault key pad. The *-key acts as an ‘enter’ button.)
Contestants are responsible for correctly entering their (6) digit number guess into the key pad exactly as recorded in the registration binder. No prize will be awarded for any attempt that is incorrectly entered into the key pad. Any attempt initiated without the presence of the contest administrator will be void.
Claiming the Bank Vault Contest Grand Prize: In order to claim the Bank Vault contest grand prize, an eligible contestant must record the winning (6) digit number (as contained in the sealed master envelope) in the registration binder, then unlock and open the bank vault only be means of entering that winning number into the keypad.
- The act of opening the bank vault door does not constitute a winning attempt. The prize will not be awarded as a result of opening the bank vault door or lock due to tampering, malfunction, damage, physical force or any means other than by entering the winning number into the key pad.
- The (6) digit number recorded by the contestant in the official registration binder and entered by that contestant into the key pad on the bank vault must exactly match the predetermined winning (6) digit number that was randomly pre-selected for this contest, and that is contained in the sealed security envelope.
