GROCERIES FOR A YEAR CONTEST

GROCERIES FOR A YEAR CONTEST

The Groceries for a Year Contest (the “Contest”) is being held by the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (“AGLC”).

AGLC is holding this Contest as part of their Winner’s Edge loyalty program for members who play using their Winner’s Edge Cards and qualify via slot machines to electronic table games at participating casinos in Alberta between September 1 to October 31, 2024. 

The Contest is open to qualifying members of the Winner’s Edge loyalty program who are eighteen (18) years of age or older (each considered a “Contestant”) except for employees of AGLC and affiliated advertising agencies. Registered gaming workers, casino facility directors, shareholders, managers, and facility employees are prohibited from entering the Contest. Self-excluded players are also not eligible to participate in the Contest. Verification will be made upon contacting the winning Contestant (the “Contest Winner”) to ensure they do not fall into the criteria above for members who are excluded from the Contest. 

The Contest entry period (the “Contest Period”) runs from 5:00 a.m. on Sunday, September 1, 2024 to 4:59 a.m. on Friday, November 1, 2024 Mountain Standard Time (MST). All Entries must be received on or before 4:59 a.m. on Friday, November 1, 2024 Mountain Standard Time (MST). 

There are 7 ways that a Contestant can enter at participating Alberta Casino Facilities: 

1. Contestants will automatically earn one (1) ballot into the Contest for every fifty (50) Winner’s Edge base points that they accumulate through carded play on slot machines or electronic table games at Alberta Casino Facilities during the Contest Period. Bonus points earned through special promotions do not count toward Contest entries. 
2. Contestants receive one (1) free ballot into the Contest upon the first card-in at a slot machine or electronic table game per day when using their Winner’s Edge card during the Contest Period – no play required.

Contestants may redeem fifty (50) points from their Winner’s Edge member account for one (1) ballot entry into the Contest through a Winner’s Edge kiosk at any Alberta Casino Facility, or online at WinnersEdge.ca. Both means of ballot purchases are available in any increment, granted the member has the required number of points to fulfill the transaction.

The AGLC must receive the completed and signed Contest Prize Acknowledgement and Release Form and Skill Testing Question from the Contest Winner by the date specified in the Contest Acknowledgement Letter. 

Please send the Contest Prize Acknowledgement and Release and Skill Testing Question forms by one of the two ways below: 

1. By mail to: AGLC, 50 Corriveau Avenue, St. Albert, Alberta T8N 3T5 
2. By email to WinnersEdge@AGLC.ca.

There will be one (1) grand prize (the “Prize”) valued at $15,000 (Canadian dollars) to the Contest Winner: 

• Sobey’s gift cards totalling $15,000 

Maximum one (1) Prize per person. Once an entrant has won any Prize, they are no longer eligible for any other prizes in this Contest.  All ballots (“Entries”) have an equal chance of winning for each draw. Chances of winning are dependent on how many Entries are received into the Contest. AGLC is to be the executor of the official Prize draw. The Contest Winner will be randomly drawn from all Entries. The draws will take place at approximately 9:00 a.m. MST on Friday, November 1, 2024 at the AGLC Office in St Albert, Alberta.  

AGLC will contact the Contest Winner through the contact phone number or email address provided during member enrollment into the Winner’s Edge program. If for any reason it is not possible within a seventy-two (72) hour period to contact the Contest Winner despite customary efforts, AGLC reserves the right to disqualify that Entry and randomly select another Entry as that month’s Contest Winner.  In the event that the Contest Winner is ineligible, disqualified, does not claim the Prize, is un-contactable for any reason and/or deemed to have forfeited all rights to the Prize, AGLC at its sole discretion may decide if a replacement Contest Winner should be selected. 

The name on the Contest Winner’s ID must match the name on the winning Winner’s Edge account/card. Each Contest Winner will be required to successfully complete a mathematical skill-testing question, and to sign a Contest Prize Acknowledgement and Release Form before the Prize will be awarded. The Prize must be accepted as described and no substitution will be permitted. The Prize may not be transferred to other persons. 

AGLC retains the right to replace the Prize with a different prize of equal or greater value if the original prize becomes unavailable for reasons beyond AGLC’s control. AGLC reserves the right to share, directly and through its Winner’s Edge partners, the winner’s name as the Contest Winner on social media, WinnersEdge.ca and other communication platforms for advertising and promotional purposes. Photographs of the prize redemption events may also be taken (but published only with winner consent). AGLC reserves the right to withhold the Prize or disqualify the Contest Winner’s Entry in the event that a Contest Winner fails or refuses to comply with these Contest Terms & Conditions.
