Method #1:
Email Survey Invite - To enter, participants may receive an email invitation inviting the recipient to complete an online survey. Participants must answer all required survey questions and provide all required contact information. The answers to the survey will have no effect on a participant’s ability to enter or win. Upon completion of the survey, the participant will be invited to complete the entry form in its entirety and submit to receive one (1) Sweepstakes entry. Each participant may only be entered one (1) time during the Sweepstakes Period. Sponsor’s computer is the official clock for this Sweepstakes. Proof of entry does not constitute proof of submission.
Method #2:
AMOE (Alternate Means of Entry) - To enter the Sweepstakes without completing the survey, hand print your name, complete address, city, state, zip code, daytime phone number, and birth date on a 3” x 5” card and mail it to: That’s Smart!

Any mailed Sweepstakes Entry must be postmarked on a date that is within the Sweepstakes Period and must be received by October 27, 2024, to be eligible. Partially completed and/or mechanically reproduced entries or rubber-stamped entries will be void and ineligible. All entries received become the sole property of Sponsor and will not be returned. Sponsor will not be responsible for illegible, late, lost, mutilated, misdirected, postage due or stolen manual entries.
Limit: One (1) entry per person or per email regardless of methods of entry. All methods of entry have an equal chance of winning.
WINNER SELECTION/NOTIFICATION: Two (2) potential prize winner(s) will be selected on or about October 30, 2024, by Sponsor via a random drawing.

ODDS OF WINNING: Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period.
PRIZES AND APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUES: Each prize winner will win a $250.00 Hy-Vee gift card. The approximate retail value of all prizes to be awarded is $500.00.

The prize winner may be required to complete and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Publicity/Liability release form and an IRS W-9 form (i.e., Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification).
