Strike it Rich
 
1. The ‘Strike it Rich’ Sweepstakes is presented with various product offers from Reader’s Digest for the purpose of promoting the sale or use of their products. The Sweepstakes is offered in the Republic of South Africa only and is open to residents of the Republic of South Africa aged 18 years and older only. The total value of prizes offered is R1,475,000. The Sweepstakes opens on 01/01/12 and closes on 31/12/12.
2. All prizes are guaranteed to be awarded. Throughout the Sweepstakes, the Promoter will conduct up to 24 ‘double up’ offers. Double up offers will only be sent to selected entrants. If an entrant receives a ‘double up’ offer and responds to the material as directed, in the event that they are drawn as the winner of the prize to which the ‘double up’ offer applies, they will receive double the prize money. The decision to increase any cash prize value and the amount of the increase will be totally at the discretion of the Promoter and will be indicated in the promotional material for the relevant prize draw. If an increased prize value has been advertised to a winning entrant, the Promoter will award that entrant the increased prize value, as advertised. For all other activities a winning entry will receive the stated prize value without the increase. If the Promoter decides to offer an increase in the value of any or all of the cash prizes, the total maximum potential value based on a maximum doubling of prizes would then respectively be increased to R2,950,000. Where the original winner drawn was eligible for the stated prize without the increase but does not claim their prize, only the amount of the prize unclaimed by the original winner drawn, being the stated prize amount without the increase, will be distributed in the unclaimed prize draw in accordance with these rules.
3. Multiple entries are permitted provided each entry is on an original entry form. No facsimiles or copies permitted. Different limitations may apply for website and phone entry when offered. Entries are not transferable. To be eligible, entries must be received by the Sweepstakes closing date. Additional deadlines apply to certain prizes including the Bonus prizes and, based on postal guidelines, we allow one week for delivery and one week for return in addition to any deadline stated. In some cases where it will not be necessary to return an entry form in order to participate, specific mention will be made of that fact in the promotional material. All eligible entries will qualify as finalists and will have a fair and equal chance to win. All prizes are guaranteed to be awarded.
4. Cash prizes may be represented from time to time as recurring payment options, home improvements, cars, travel, holidays or merchandise. Prize preferences indicated by participants at time of entry simply highlight options available and are not binding; actual choices will be confirmed with the winner following the draw. The Citizen Watch prizes are not redeemable for cash. Cash prizes will be awarded in the form of a cheque or by electronic funds transfer to the winner's nominated bank account. Cash prizes will be paid in Rand. Prizes are not transferable.

9. For the Lucky Number Jackpot, 1000 numbers will be randomly selected before the Sweepstakes commences.

After the Sweepstakes closes on 31/12/12, the first winning number on the list will be released to the Sweepstakes Manager who will verify that the participant who was issued the winning number has in fact returned it as directed and if so they will be awarded the Lucky Number Jackpot prize. If the first drawn winning number has not been returned, the Lucky Number Jackpot prize will be awarded to the next number from the list of 1000 numbers which has been returned as directed. If none of the 1000 pre drawn numbers have been returned as directed another 1000 numbers will be drawn at Reader’s Digest, 80 Bay Street, Ultimo, NSW, 2007 at 10:30am on 10/01/13 and matched against returned numbers until a winner is found.
