Purchasing an annual Hack Pack subscription or annual pre-order Hack Pack subscription will earn the purchaser one (1) Entry into the Sweepstakes (“Entry” or collectively “Entries”). Limit of three (3) Entries per family/household during the Sweepstakes Period regardless of the number of subscriptions or pre-order subscriptions a family/household may have.

†Be sure you and your parent or legal guardian (if a minor in your jurisdiction of residence) carefully review the terms of the subscription before purchasing same; without limitation, the annual subscription may be automatically renewed and your credit card, debit card or other payment instrument may automatically be billed by Sponsor.

*Pre-order annual subscriptions will be billed upon purchase. The first pre-order subscription boxes are expected to ship by November 2024.

Entries that do not conform to or that violate these Official Rules or are submitted in any manner other than stated in these Official Rules will be disqualified. Proof of submission of entry does not constitute proof of receipt of same. Receipt of mail-in entries will not be acknowledged. By entering this Sweepstakes, entrants (if a minor in their jurisdiction of residence, their parent or legal guardian) agree to these Official Rules and the decisions of the Administrator and Sponsor, which are binding and final in all matters relating to this Sweepstakes.

CAUTION: ANY ATTEMPT TO UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE SWEEPSTAKES OR TO SEEK TO DEFRAUD SPONSOR AND/OR ADMINISTRATOR AS TO THE CONDUCT OF SAME VIOLATES CRIMINAL OR CIVIL LAWS.

6.

For the avoidance of doubt all eligible non-winning Hack Pack subscription purchase Entries and eligible non-winning Mail in Entries received during Entry Period 1 WILL carry over into Entry Period 2. The drawings will be conducted by Administrator, an independent judging organization/administrator whose decisions are final and binding on all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Odds of winning a Prize depend on the number of Hack Pack subscriptions sold and number of Mail In Entries received during each Entry Period.

7. Winner Notification: Potential winners will be notified by email and or phone (if a potential Winner enters via mail and does not include an email address on 3” x 5” card, they will be notified instead via phone in Sponsor’s/Administrator’s sole discretion) on or about November 12, 2024 for Entry Period 1 and on or about May 9, 2025 for Entry Period 2. Potential winners (if a minor in their jurisdiction of residence, their parent or legal guardian) will be required to complete, sign and return within three (3) business days of date of notification an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability Release and Indemnification, a Publicity Release where allowed by law, and a non-disclosure agreement (“NDA”) as well as other documents that Sponsor may require (collectively the "Prize Claim Documents"). Failure to respond to the initial notification within three (3) business days after notification, return of email notification as undeliverable after two (2) attempts (if applicable), or failure to return the completed and signed Prize Claim Documents within the indicated time period may result in disqualification, prize forfeiture and selection of an alternate potential winner from among all remaining eligible Entries received during the applicable Entry Period.

In the event of any dispute concerning the identity of any online entrant, the entry will be deemed submitted by the natural person who is the authorized account holder of the email address used to purchase the Hack Pack annual subscription, and such individual must comply with these rules. "Authorized account holder" is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization (e.g., business, educational institution) that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address.

8. Prizes & Approximate Retail Value (ARVs):

Prizes: Two (2) winners (“Winner” or collectively “Winners”) (one [1] per Entry Period) will each receive $80,000 to be used solely for their education or the education of another designated person (“Child Beneficiary”). This election will be made by Winners in Prize Claim Documents as per Rule 7 above. If a Prize is won by a minor in their jurisdiction of residence, Prize will be awarded to or in the name of the minor Winner’s parent or legal guardian and the minor Winner WILL function as the Child Beneficiary. Sponsor will deposit $80,000 into an 529 College Savings Plan† for Winners as the Beneficiary or the Child Beneficiary as the case may be. Winners will also receive a (3) day/ (2) night trip for the winner and three (3) guests to visit CrunchLabs with Mark Rober (“Trip”). Trip includes:

Round-trip coach air transportation for four (4) from the major commercial airport closest to winner’s residence (as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion) to Mountain View, California.

Accommodations for three (3) days / two (2) nights (one (1) standard room with quadruple occupancy) at a hotel to be selected by Sponsor, at its sole discretion.

Round-trip ground transportation between San Jose, San Francisco, or Oakland airport and the hotel and between hotel and CrunchLabs in Mountain View, California.

ARV of each Prize: $84,500. Total ARV of all Prizes: $169,000.

The amount of $80,000 is based upon the average tuition and fees for four years of college in the United States (source: https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d22/tables/dt22_330.40.asp).

†Prepaid tuition plans do not qualify; “college savings plan” is limited to an education savings plan.

IF A PRIZE IS USED FOR A CHILD BENEFICIARY OTHER THAN MINOR WINNER:

Winner need not be the parent or legal guardian of Child Beneficiary. If a Winner is not the parent/legal guardian of Child Beneficiary, it is Winner’s sole responsibility to secure the parent/legal guardian’s approval of Winner’s selection of their child as Child Beneficiary.

Should a Winner be the parent/legal guardian of more than one (1) child who would qualify as Child Beneficiary, Winner must select only one (1) child as Child Beneficiary.

WHETHER PRIZE IS USED FOR A WINNER THEMSELVES AS BENEFICIARY OR FOR A CHILD BENEFICIARY (INCLUDING MINOR WINNER AS CHILD BENEFICIARY):

If a Winner or Child Beneficiary (as applicable) already has a 529 College Savings Plan, Winner must provide Sponsor/Administrator with all necessary and appropriate information so that Sponsor may effect the deposit of $80,000 to such Plan.

If a Winner or Child Beneficiary (as applicable) does not have a 529 College Savings Plan, Winner must first establish and open a Plan (with themselves as Beneficiary or Child Beneficiary, as applicable) as a pre-condition to award of the prize. (Upon a Winner’s request, Sponsor/Administrator will assist Winner in establishment of Plan; but, at all times, as between Winner on the one hand and Sponsor/Administrator on the other, Winner assumes full responsibility for selecting and opening a Plan including paying any and all administrative expenses in conjunction therewith. It is strongly advised that each Winner consult with a tax adviser or other financial professional BEFORE selecting and opening a Plan as a 529 College Savings Plan is an investment vehicle and, as such, is subject to risk of loss, tax penalties for improper use as well as other financial implications. Sponsor and Administrator will not under any circumstances provide investment advice to a Winner.) Once the Plan has been established and opened, Winners must provide Sponsor/Administrator with all necessary and appropriate information so that Sponsor may effect the deposit of $80,000 to the Plan.

Within thirty (30) days of Winner verification, Winners must establish and open a 529 College Savings Plan or provide Sponsor/Administrator with all necessary and appropriate information regarding an existing Plan so that Sponsor may effect the deposit of $80,000 to the Plan. (In addition, if a Winner is not the parent/legal guardian of Child Beneficiary, Winner must provide Sponsor/Administrator with adequate proof of parent/legal guardian’s approval of Winner’s selection of their child as Child Beneficiary within such thirty [30] day time period.) Absent extraordinary circumstances, as determined by Sponsor/Administrator in their sole discretion, prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner will be selected as set forth above, if a Winner fails to provide all such required information within the designated thirty (30) day period.

By depositing $80,000 to a 529 College Savings Plan subject to the requirements set forth above, Sponsor will have fulfilled its obligation to award the prize. Winners accept full responsibility for selecting the specific investments to be funded by the deposit of $80,000 to the 529 College Savings Plan. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, if the $80,000 deposit is lost in whole or in part due to the vicissitudes of investing, Sponsor and Administrator will NOT replenish same nor will a Winner or Child Beneficiary (as applicable) receive any other prize, compensation or consideration. In addition, Winners expressly acknowledges that establishing a Plan (if necessary) and/or maintaining a Plan will result in account maintenance fees, management fees and other costs, all of which are Winners’ sole responsibility.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL A WINNER THEMSELF RECEIVE $80,000, AS THE PRIZE IS SPECIFICALLY INTENDED BY SPONSOR TO FUND THE EDUCATION OF WINNERS THEMSELVES OR A CHILD BENEFICIARY VIA DEPOSIT TO A 529 COLLEGE SAVINGS PLAN.
