OFFICIAL RULES

NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN.

A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.

1. ELIGIBILITY: NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A purchase will not increase your chances of winning. Open to legal residents of the 50 United States (excluding Florida, New York and Rhode Island) and the District of Columbia (“U.S.”) who are 18 years of age or older at time of entry. Employees, officers and directors of The Kroger Co. (the “Sponsor"), its affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising and promotion agencies, and the immediate family members (spouses, siblings, children, parents, grandparents, grandchildren and spouses of the foregoing, regardless of where they live) or members of the same households (whether related or not) of such individuals are not eligible. Subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. Void in FL, NY, RI and where prohibited.

2. TO ENTER: The Customer Survey Monthly Sweepstakes (the “Sweepstakes”) begins at 12:01 AM Central Time (“CT”) on September 1, 2019 and ends at 11:59 PM CT on November 30, 2019 (the “Sweepstakes Period”) and consists of three Entry Periods, one for each month the Sweepstakes is open. Entry Periods begin on the first day of the month and end on the last day of the month.

There are two ways to enter: online or by mail.

Enter online: Access the survey entry page via the website printed on cash register receipts distributed during the Sweepstakes Period at participating grocery retailers. You will be asked to respond to several questions regarding your most recent experience at the store, and to provide your name, address, telephone number and the survey code printed on the receipt. You will also be asked to provide additional information from your receipt, including the date of your store visit, time of your store visit, store #, terminal #, and transaction # (survey website provides detailed instructions as to where to find this information on your receipt). Online entries must be received by Sponsor by 11:59 PM CT on the last day of an Entry Period to be entered in the Sweepstakes and to be eligible for the random drawing applicable to that Entry Period.

Enter by mail: Hand print your name, complete address and telephone number on a postcard and mail to: Customer Survey Monthly Sweepstakes, PMI Station, PO Box 3547, Southbury, CT 06488-3547. Mail-in entries must be postmarked by the last day of an Entry Period and received by Sponsor no later than the eighth day of the following month to be entered in the Sweepstakes and to be eligible for the random drawing applicable to that Entry Period.

There is no limit to the number of times you may enter online or by mail, however each online entry is limited to one per receipt, and each mail-in entry must be mailed on a separate post card. For purposes of clarification, as printed receipts will only be generated following a customer experience, all no-purchase entries must be completed via mail as opposed to online; entry via mail is as statistically likely to win as an online entry.

3. RANDOM DRAWINGS: Three (3) random drawings will be conducted, each on or about the 10th day of the month following an Entry Period, the first being on October 10, 2019 and the last on December 10, 2019. Entries for any given Entry Period will not be entered or otherwise included in any other Entry Period’s random drawing. All drawings will be conducted Promotion Mechanics, Inc. (“Sweepstakes Administrator”), an independent judging organization.

4. PRIZES/ODDS OF WINNING: The prizes offered in this Sweepstakes will also be offered to entrants in other versions of the Customer Survey Monthly Sweepstakes. Odds of winning for each drawing will be determined by the total number of eligible entries received in this and all other versions of the Customer Survey Monthly Sweepstakes.

The following prizes will be awarded in each random drawing:

One (1) Grand Prize, consisting of $5,000 in Kroger gift cards (subject to terms and conditions accompanying the gift cards).

One hundred (100) First Prizes, each consisting of a $100 Kroger gift card (subject to terms and conditions accompanying the gift card).

Winners will be notified by telephone, email and/or postal mail. Inability to contact a winner or the return of any prize notification as undeliverable will result in the prize being forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner, in Sponsor's sole discretion.

Potential Grand Prize winner will be required to complete an affidavit of eligibility, liability and (where legal) publicity release which must be returned within the time period specified in the notification letter. If such documents are not returned within the specified time period, then at Sponsor’s sole discretion, a potential winner may be disqualified and an alternate potential winner selected. If a potential Grand Prize winner is 18 or older, as is required for entry, but not of the age of majority in his or her state of residence, the prize will be awarded in the name of a parent or legal guardian who will be required to sign all necessary affidavits and releases.

Limit one prize per person.

5. GENERAL: All taxes on the prizes are the sole responsibility of winners. Any winner of a prize valued at $600 or more will be required to supply Sponsor with his/her social security number for tax purposes and will be issued an IRS 1099 Form for the value of the prize.

If, for any reason whatsoever, this Sweepstakes, in Sponsor’s sole opinion, is not capable of running as planned, including, but not limited to, by reason of infection by computer virus, tampering, fraud, technical failures, or any other cause which, in the Sponsor’s sole judgment, corrupts or affects the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of this Sweepstakes, Sponsor reserves the right at its sole discretion to cancel, terminate, modify or suspend this Sweepstakes and limit entries to those legitimately submitted prior to the action taken, and/or to award the prizes in such a manner as may be deemed fair and equitable by Sponsor in its sole discretion. No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded. If due to a printing, technical or other error, or any other reasons cause more than the stated number of prizes, as set forth in these Official Rules, to be available and/or claimed, Sponsor reserves the right to award only the stated number of prizes (not yet awarded) by a random drawing from among all legitimate eligible prize claimants in that category.
