Limit one (1) entry per person, per day during the Promotion Period. For purposes of these Official Guidelines, a “day” is defined as any twenty-four (24) hour period during the Promotion Period beginning at 12:00:01 am ET and ending at 11:59:59 pm ET on the same date. Non-winning entries will carry forward to each subsequent drawing. If an Entrant exceeds the entry limitations, the Entrant may be disqualified, at the Sponsor’s sole discretion. Entries generated by a script, macro or other automated means will be disqualified. Entrants must accurately provide all of the requested information to be eligible to win. Incomplete, unreadable, or unintelligible entries will be disqualified. All information provided by Entrants becomes the property of Sponsor. ELIGIBLE ENTRANTS MUST SUBMIT THE REQUESTED ENTRY INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE OFFICIAL GUIDELINES. NO OTHER METHOD OF SUBMISSION WILL BE ACCEPTED. Participation in the Promotion constitutes Entrant's full and unconditional agreement to, and acceptance of, these Official Guidelines. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any Entrant that Sponsor determines to be in violation of any provision of these Official Guidelines. Sponsor’s decision not to enforce a specific provision of these Official Guidelines does not constitute a waiver of that provision or of the Official Guidelines generally.

4. RANDOM DRAWINGS & GAME ASSIGNMENTS: For each Drawing Period, one (1) potential Jackpot Finalist per Game shall be selected at random from among all eligible entries received in accordance with the Drawing Chart above (each a “Jackpot Finalist”). Pending confirmation of eligibility, each potential Jackpot Finalist will be assigned to the specific Game for which he or she was drawn, which shall correlate to the potential Jackpot Prize for such Game. Should a Game be postponed or rescheduled, the potential Jackpot Finalist assigned to the originally scheduled Game will be reassigned to the rescheduled Game. The Jackpot associated with the originally scheduled Game will be the applicable Jackpot on the rescheduled Game date. Example: If the Jackpot amount for the originally scheduled Game was $10,000; the same $10,000 Jackpot will remain in effect on the rescheduled Game date (regardless of the current Jackpot amount). Should a Game be cancelled and not re-scheduled, the Jackpot Finalist shall be awarded the Runner-Up Prize, as described in Section 8. On or about October 6, 2022, one (1) potential Grand Prize winner shall be selected by random drawing from among up to eighty-one (81) Jackpot Finalists, who did not win a Jackpot Prize.

5. NOTIFICATION: Potential Jackpot Finalists shall be notified by email and/or telephone and shall be required to respond within twenty-four (24) hours of first attempted notification (or a shorter time if deemed appropriate due to exigencies). The Promotion Entities and the MLB Entities shall have no liability for any such notification that is lost, intercepted, or not received by a potential Jackpot Finalist. Each potential Jackpot Finalist must be able to receive telephone calls from an unlisted and/or blocked number. If a potential Jackpot Finalist does not answer such telephone call, a message might not be left for the Jackpot Finalist. Promotion Entities reserve the right to disqualify any Entrant and/or potential Jackpot Finalist who does not fully comply with these Official Guidelines. In order for a potential Jackpot Finalist to be confirmed as a Jackpot Finalist, he or she is required to verify his or her address and return within twenty-four (24) hours (or a shorter time if deemed appropriate due to exigencies) an acceptable affidavit of eligibility and a liability/publicity release (collectively, “Participation Agreement”) in a format to be provided to the potential Jackpot Finalist by the Promotion Entities, covering eligibility, liability, advertising, publicity and media appearance issues, unless prohibited by law. Failure of a potential Jackpot Finalist to respond to the notification or return the executed Participation Agreement within the specified time period may result in disqualification of the entry and forfeiture of any opportunity to win a prize, and an alternate Jackpot Finalist may be selected from the remaining eligible entries received as of the applicable Entry Deadline through the corresponding Drawing Period. In the event the Jackpot Prize (as described below) is awarded, the potential Jackpot Prize winner will be notified within ten (10) days of the date when the Qualifying Play (as defined below) occurred. Any potential Jackpot Prize or Grand Prize winner will be required to provide his/her Social Security Number or Taxpayer ID for taxation purposes and complete a “Prize Acceptance Form” to claim the Jackpot Prize or Grand Prize, respectively. Should a Social Security Number or Taxpayer ID not be provided, taxes will be withheld from each such prize pursuant to the tax withholding rates established by the Internal Revenue Service and the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. An IRS Form 1099 will be issued in the name of any Jackpot Prize winner and the name of the Grand Prize winner for the total amount of the prize respectively received. Both the Jackpot Prize and the Grand Prize are taxable as income, and all taxes associated with a prize (including but not limited to income taxes) are the sole responsibility of any winner. If applicable, Runner-up Prizes will be mailed to the recipients at the mailing address provided on the Participation Agreement within approximately four (4) weeks of their assigned Game.

6. QUALIFYING PLAY: During the Promotion Period and in the bottom of any inning of a Game, a batting New York Mets player must hit a fly home run that either hits the New York Lottery Mets Bullpen Jackpot sign or otherwise lands within the visiting team’s bullpen (the “Qualifying Play”). If the ball makes contact with the ground or another object prior to hitting the New York Lottery Mets Bullpen Jackpot sign or landing within the visiting team’s bullpen, such play will not be a Qualifying Play. The New York Mets are the official scorekeepers of the Game and will determine how a play is scored. In the event of a Qualifying Play, the Administrator will review the available game video footage to validate that such Qualifying Play did occur; validation may take up to ten (10) days, and prize fulfillment may take up to forty-five (45) days. All decisions by the Administrator are final.

7. ODDS OF WINNING: The odds of being selected as a potential Jackpot Finalist depend on the number of eligible entries received as of the applicable Entry Deadline, and the odds of winning a Jackpot Prize or Runner-Up Prize depend on whether a Qualifying Play occurs in the applicable Game. The odds of a Jackpot Finalist being selected as the Grand Prize winner are up to 1:81.

8. PRIZES:

Jackpot Prizes (*Up to16 available)

*Contingent on a Qualifying Play

The Jackpot Prize will be awarded ONLY if a Qualifying Play occurs, as described in Section 6. In the event of a Qualifying Play, the winner assigned to the Game in which the Qualifying Play occurred will receive one (1) Jackpot Prize. The jackpot amount will start at Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000). If the Jackpot Prize goes unawarded in a Game, the Jackpot Prize will rollover to the next Game and increase by One Thousand Dollars ($1,000). The Jackpot Prize will continue to increase in increments of $1,000 for each Game that does not include a Qualifying Play. If a Qualifying Play occurs in a Game and the Jackpot Prize is awarded, the Jackpot Prize will reset to $10,000 for the next Game and continue to increase in increments of $1,000 for each Game that does not include a Qualifying Play, as described above. Jackpot Prizes, if any, will be awarded in the form of a check in the amount equal to the Jackpot Prize for their corresponding Game. Limit one (1) Jackpot Prize per Game, regardless of the number of Qualifying Plays that may occur in such Game.
