Winners will not be required to make any payments to Vikings.

Winner Selection and Notification: A random drawing for the winners, among all eligible entries received, will be conducted on or about November 9, 2024, by a Vikings representative, whose decisions are final on all matters relating to the Sweepstakes. The winners will be notified by e-mail and must respond or reply to Vikings within two (2) business days. In the event a winner is unreachable, a winner's prize notification is returned as undeliverable, or a winner is not in compliance with these Official Rules, the winner will forfeit the prize. A forfeited prize may be awarded to an alternate winner in a random drawing from all remaining eligible entries received for the Sweepstakes.
