3. DRAWING:
Finalist/First Prize Drawing:
Prizewinners will be selected in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received. Drawing will be held on or about June 7, 2004 in Melville, NY, and will be conducted by Don Jagoda Associates, Inc, an independent judging organization. All decisions of the judges shall be final. Odds of winning depend upon the number of eligible entries received.

GRAND PRIZE GIVEAWAY: ALL FINALIST WINNERS MUST BE PRESENT OUTSIDE THE MAIN GATES AT SEAWORLD SAN ANTONIO AT APPROXIMATELY 10 A.M. ON SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 2004 TO BE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE FOR A CHANCE TO WIN THE GRAND PRIZE HOUSE. If, for any reason, any of the Finalists is not in attendance and are therefore ineligible to participate in the Grand Prize Event, the Grand Prize Event will proceed with the remaining Finalists who are in attendance. Prior to the Grand Prize event start time, the five (5) Finalists will be randomly assigned a key, by an independent judging agency, to attempt to open a replica Front door of a House. The five (5) Finalists will have the opportunity to try to open the Front door. The key holder with the key that opens the Door will be declared the winner. If, due to a production or other error, more than one distributed key opens the Door, the Grand Prize House will be awarded in a random drawing from among all Finalists in possession of a working key for that Grand Prize House. In the event that the Grand Prize key is not among those selected by the eligible Finalists, the independent judging agency will conduct a random drawing among all Finalists present at the Grand Prize Giveaway. Odds of a Finalist winner receiving the key that opens the Front Door are 1 in 5.
