Entry Period 2—Carole's Christmas: While in college, what does Carole decide to do during Spring Break?
Entry Period 3—Baking Christmas: Which one of Patty's kids work at Patty Cakes Bakery?

You may enter the Sweepstakes in either of the following ways:

(A): Via Twitter: Watch one of the holiday movies listed above on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network. Then during the Entry Period for that movie, go to www.twitter.com, ("Twitter Site") and, if you already have a Twitter account, log on using your Twitter username and password. If you do not already have a Twitter account, you can go to www.twitter.com to create a free Twitter account. A Twitter account is required to enter the Sweepstakes. Please note that you must agree to comply with the Twitter Terms of Use in order to create a Twitter account.

Once you are logged in to Twitter, to enter the Sweepstakes during the Entry Period, submit your entry by tweeting the Answer, the hashtags "#entry" and "#TREATDOWN", and mention "@OWNTV" ("Entry"). Entries must be received during the applicable Entry Period (detailed above) to be eligible for the corresponding random drawing. See Section 3 below for random drawing details.

Sponsor's computer shall be the official timekeeper for all matters related to this Sweepstakes. If your Twitter profile is set to the "Protect my Tweets" setting, your Entry may not be visible to Sponsor and, therefore, will not be received by Sponsor, resulting in your failure to enter the Sweepstakes. Sponsor may not receive entries that fail to strictly follow the posting instructions set forth in these Official Rules and Sponsor is not responsible for failure to see or receive an entry.

(B): Via Mail: Hand print your name, complete address, telephone number, and email address on a piece of paper, place it in an envelope, and mail to: OWN Holiday #TREATDOWN Sweepstakes, PMI Station, PO Box 750, Southbury, CT 06488-0750. On the upper left corner of the envelope, write the name of the movie listed (see chart above) for the Entry Period you are entering. Mail-in entries must be postmarked by the last day of an Entry Period and received by Sponsor no later than seven days following the close of an Entry Period to be entered in the random drawing for that Entry Period. Mail-in entries that do not include a valid movie name will be disqualified.

Regardless of the method of entry, there is a limit one entry per person/valid email address per Entry Period. Multiple Entries received from any person beyond this limit will void all such additional Entries. Entries generated by a script, macro, or other automated means or by any means that subverts the entry process will be disqualified. Entries that are incomplete, garbled, corrupted, or unintelligible for any reason, including, but not limited to, computer or network malfunction or congestion, are void and will not be accepted. Sweepstakes Entities are not responsible and shall not be liable for late, lost, misdirected, mutilated, incomplete, illegible or postage-due entries or mail. In case of a dispute over the identity of a Twitter entrant, the authorized account holder of the Twitter account used to enter will be deemed to be the entrant. "Authorized account holder" is defined as the person who is assigned to a Twitter account by the Twitter Site. Entry constitutes permission (except where prohibited by law) to use entrant's name, Twitter user name, city, state, Answer, likeness, image, and/or voice for purposes of advertising, promotion, and publicity in any and all media now or hereafter known, throughout the world in perpetuity, without additional compensation, notification, permission, or approval.

Entries must not violate or encourage the violation of any law, rule or regulation. Entries must not contain inappropriate content, including but not limited to vulgarity, obscenity, lewd, pornographic or violent material, or materials which promote hate or violence. Entries must not defame, misrepresent or contain disparaging remarks about Sponsor or its products, or other people, products or companies. Entries must not defame or invade the privacy or publicity rights of any person (including, but not limited to, celebrities or celebrity look-alikes), living or deceased, or otherwise infringe upon a person's personal or proprietary rights. Entries that do not include all required information and do not adhere to the foregoing and following requirements or are deemed to be immoral, obscene, profane or not in keeping with Sponsor's image (all as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion) will be considered void.

MOBILE DISCLOSURE: If you opt to use your wireless mobile device in connection with the Sweepstakes, depending on your phone's capabilities, standard text messaging rates or data charges may apply according to the terms and conditions of your service agreement with your wireless carrier. Other charges may apply (such as normal airtime and carrier charges) and may appear on your mobile phone bill or be deducted from your prepaid account balance. Wireless carriers' rate plans may vary, and you should contact your wireless carrier for more information on messaging rate plans and charges relating to your participation in the Sweepstakes.

RANDOM DRAWINGS / PRIZES / ODDS OF WINNING: On or about the ninth day following the close of an Entry Period, a random drawing will be conducted from among all eligible entries received for that Entry Period to award one prize per Entry Period. Each prize will consist of a selection of three (3) pies from Make My Cake Bakery in Harlem, NY ("Prize"). Pies will be shipped from the bakery to winner's residence. The selection of pies will be determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion. Approximate Retail Value ("ARV") of each Prize is $165. A total of three (3) Prizes will be awarded. Total ARV of all prizes is $495.

Odds of winning will be determined by the number of entries received for each Entry Period. Non-winning entries will not be carried over into subsequent Entry Periods, if any.
WINNER NOTIFICATION: Potential winners will be notified via Twitter or by phone or email. If by Twitter, Sponsor will make two (2) attempts to notify potential winner via direct message to potential winner's Twitter account in order to obtain potential winner's contact information. Sponsor will share potential winners' names and contact information with Sweepstakes Entities, as applicable. Potential winners may be required to execute and return an affidavit of eligibility, release of liability, and, except where prohibited, publicity release ("Affidavit") within seven (7) days of such notification. Noncompliance within this time period will result in disqualification, and, at Sponsor's sole discretion an alternate potential winner may be selected from the remaining eligible entries. If potential winner cannot be reached, is found to be ineligible, cannot or does not comply with these Official Rules, or if Prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, potential winner will be disqualified and time permitting, at Sponsor's sole discretion, an alternate potential winner may be selected from the remaining eligible entries. Decisions of the Sponsor as to the selection of the winners will be final.

Parents or legal guardians of a winner under the age of majority in their state of residence (which is eighteen (18) in most states but is nineteen (19) in Alabama and Nebraska and twenty-one (21) in Mississippi) may be required to also sign the Affidavit in order for a winner to be qualified to receive their Prize. If, for any reason, more bona fide winners come forward seeking to claim Prizes in excess of the number of each type of Prize set forth in the Official Rules, the winners, or remaining winners, as the case may be, of the advertised number of Prizes available may be selected in a random drawing from among all persons making purportedly valid claims for such Prize. Inclusion in such drawing shall be each entrant's sole and exclusive remedy under such circumstances. The Sweepstakes Entities are not responsible for and shall not be liable for late, lost, damaged, intercepted, misdirected, or unsuccessful efforts to notify the potential winner or if potential winner is a minor, for late, lost, misdirected, or unsuccessful efforts of potential winner to provide signed parental or guardian consent.

All Prize(s) are awarded "AS IS" and without warranty of any kind, express or implied (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose). Prize winner(s) will be solely responsible for all federal, state and/or local taxes, and for any other fees or costs associated with the Prize(s) they receive, regardless of whether they, in whole or in part, are used. The ARV of the Prize(s) is based on available information provided to Sponsor and the value of any Prize awarded to a winner may be reported for tax purposes as required by law. Unclaimed Prize(s) will be forfeited. Prize(s), if legitimately claimed, will be awarded. Sponsor is not responsible for and will not replace any lost, mutilated or stolen Prize(s). If the winner does not accept or use the entire Prize, the unaccepted or unused part of the Prize will be forfeited and Sponsor will have no further obligation with respect to that Prize or portion of the Prize.
PUBLICITY RELEASE: Subject to applicable law, each winner irrevocably grants the Sweepstakes Entities and each of their licensees, and its and their successors, assigns and sub-licensees the right and permission to use his/her name, city and state, Answer, voice, likeness and/or biographical material for advertising, promotional and/or publicity purposes in connection with the Sweepstakes, in all forms of media and by all manners (now and hereafter known), and on and in connection with related products, services, advertising and promotional materials (now known or hereafter developed), worldwide, in perpetuity, without any obligation, notice or consideration except for the awarding of the Prize to the winner.
