  3. RANDOM DRAWING: The potential winners of the Sweepstakes (each, a "Winner" and collectively, the "Winners") will be selected by random drawing on or about June 7, 2010 from among all eligible entries received by the Sponsor or MLBAM, as applicable. The decisions of Sponsor are final and binding on all matters relating to this Sweepstakes. Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received. Limit one (1) Prize per person, family or household.

    PRIZES: Three (3) Grand Prizes are available. Each Grand Prize consists of a trip for the Winner and one (1) guest to Norfolk, VA, the weekend of Friday, July 2, 2010 and returning on Sunday, July 4, 2010.

    NOTIFICATION: Each potential Winner will be notified by e-mail, telephone and/or mail (at the sole discretion of Sponsor and/or MLBAM, as applicable) (the "Prize Notification"). In the event that any potential Winner does not respond to any such Prize Notification within three (3) business days of date of issuance, a disqualification will result and prize will be forfeited, at Sponsor's sole discretion and time permitting, an alternate potential Winner may be chosen from among all remaining eligible entries.
