After this date, all unclaimed Prizes will be null and void.
2.5	Odds: The odds of being randomly selected for a potentially winning purchase transaction are: Grand Prize — Free Gas For A Year: 1 in 14,584,321, based on estimated total eligible entries of 14,584,321 (estimation of 14,584,321 eligible Petro-Points purchases, plus eligible Mail-in and Manual Purchase entries for the Grand Prize completed during the forty-two (42) day period of the Contest). The actual odds of being selected depend on the actual number of eligible entries received. 2,000 Petro-Points Points Prizes: On eligible Petro-Points purchases = 1 in 89; based on 14,584,321 estimated total eligible Petro-Points purchase transaction entries completed during the forty-two (42) day period of the Contest. 8,500 Petro-Points Points Prizes: On eligible Petro-Points purchases = 1 in 1,326; based on 14,584,321 estimated total eligible Petro-Points purchase transaction entries completed during the forty-two (42) day period of the Contest. 15,000 Petro-Points Points Prizes: On eligible Petro-Points purchases = 1 in 1,715; based on 14,584,321 estimated total eligible Petro-Points purchase transaction entries completed during the forty-two (42) day period of the Contest. If the actual number of eligible purchase transactions is less than the estimated number of eligible purchase transactions, or if the computerized system does not award all prizes, Petro-Canada will be entitled to not award the maximum number of prizes. The actual number of potentially winning purchase transactions issued will vary depending upon the actual number of eligible purchase transactions and eligible Mail-In entries, and the established Contest odds.
2.5.1	“Winners every minute”. Calculation is based on: A forty-two (42) day campaign which equals 60,480 minutes (1,440 minutes per day X 42 days). 182,503 Instant Points Prizes divided by 60,480 minutes equals 3.0176 prizes per minute.
2.6	Grand Prize Draw: A draw for the Grand Prize will be made by a random computer-generated selection on Thursday June 30, 2011, at noon, or soon thereafter, in Mississauga, Ontario, from all eligible entries registered during the Contest Period (“Prize Draw”). The selected entrant will be contacted by email, telephone or mail. At least three (3) attempts to contact the selected entrant by email, phone or mail will be made within the fourteen (14) days following the Prize Draw.

3.	GENERAL RULES
3.1	All Prize claims are subject to verification by Contest Sponsor and/or their designated representatives. Entries made with multiple addresses, under multiple identities, through the use of any device or artifice to enter multiple times or entries that are in excess of the permitted number of entries for the Contest Period are automatically void. All purchase transaction receipts obtained through unauthorized sources or which are illegible, mutilated, altered, reproduced, forged or irregular in any way, are automatically void. Contest Sponsor will be the sole and final reference source in validating Prize claims.
3.2	If a dispute arises regarding who submitted an entry, the entry will be deemed to be submitted by the primary Petro-Points Member as identified in the Petro-Points database as provided at time of entry.
3.3	Should an error or any defect (mechanical, electronic or otherwise) occur during the time of the Contest, resulting in the number of potentially winning purchase transactions exceeding the number of Prizes available in a Prize category during the Contest, the organizers reserve the right to suspend the awarding of the Prizes, wholly or partially, without prior notice. At that time, if Prizes to be awarded in that Prize category have not yet all been awarded, then the remaining Prizes will be awarded by random draw amongst all those who have claimed those Prizes after the date of suspension (as decided by Contest Sponsor) until the limit date (23:59 p.m., Mountain Time, Aug. 2, 2011), at which time the unclaimed Prizes become null and void. There is no limit on the number of Prizes which a Member can be awarded, except in the case of a system error or defect which selects winning purchase transactions contrary to the established odds. If, in so doing, an Eligible Entrant is awarded more than one (1) Prize, any Prize(s) that would be awarded to the Eligible Entrant, due to system error or defect, will be returned to the Prize pool(s), to be awarded as detailed above.
3.4	Purchase transactions where payment is made at a participating Petro-Canada Pay at the Pump gas pump, or via manual purchase transaction (in the event the system is down) or at a Petro-Canada station that requires pre-payment, are eligible transactions in the Contest. However, Eligible Entrants whose purchase transaction is selected as a potentially winning purchase transaction will not be notified while they are at that station; an attempt will be made to notify the potential winner on a future purchase transaction receipt for Instant Points Prize. The potential winner is then required to claim the Prize as per Rule 2.3 and 2.4.

The purchase transaction will be subsequently processed through the Contest computer system; if the purchase transaction is a potentially winning purchase transaction, an attempt will be made to notify the potential winner on a future purchase transaction receipt for Instant Points Prizes.
