HOW YOU PLAY THE GAMES
Grandprize.com ("Game Website") is a mobile gaming site that includes a reverse auction sweepstakes consisting of individual online games with a Prize associated with each game ("Grandprize.com Sweepstakes") and a daily interactive trivia quiz game club where questions are texted along with multiple choice answers, one of which is correct ("Grandprize.com Trivia"). There are no prizes offered for Grandprize.com Trivia. Grandprize.com Sweepstakes and Grandprize.com Trivia are sometimes referred to collectively as "Grandprize.com mobile."
The object of Grandprize.com Sweepstakes is for players or "Entrants" to select the lowest & unique guess to win an amazing prize ("Prize") per game. The player to uncover the lowest & unique (not chosen by anyone else) number is the winner. All guesses must be in whole numbers. If two or more players guess the same number, then that number is no longer unique. All players have the option to play online at www.grandprize.com. Players are allowed to submit up to 30 total guesses per day for any active game either online or via the mobile phone (supported carriers only). If you do not use all 30 guesses, unused guesses do not carry over to the next day. The lowest and unique number submitted for the Prize during the game duration will be the winner. Players may only win one Prize over a 30 day period.
For example:
The winner in this example would be Player 5 who guessed 3.
Grandprize.com Trivia is a daily interactive trivia quiz club only available to Grandprize.com mobile subscribers that allows players to receive one question per day via mobile phone (support carriers only), up to 30 questions per month, with multiple choice answers, one of which is correct. The player will then text in the answer they think is correct and Grandprize.com Trivia will let them know via text whether they are correct or incorrect. The correct answer will always be displayed in the response text. For every question answered correctly, 1 point will be awarded to the player's account. The top 10 players will be displayed on the leader board on Grandprize.com.

Decisions of Sponsor are final and binding in all respects, and by participating, Entrant agrees to be bound by the Official Rules and the Sponsor's decisions.
Sponsor reserves the right to add, delete or modify the game for prizes of equal or greater value. Players may only win one Prize over a 30 day period. By accepting a Prize, the winner agrees to release and hold harmless Sponsor and the game and/or Sweepstakes Entities from and against any claim or cause of action arising out of participation in the Sweepstakes or receipt or use of any Prize. In case of dispute as to the identity of any winner, the winner will be the authorized account holder of the wireless phone number or e-mail account used to enter the sweepstakes at the actual time of entry. The authorized account holder is defined as the natural person who is assigned a wireless-telephone number by a wireless-service provider or an e-mail address by an Internet-access provider, online-service provider, or another organization that is responsible for assigning e-mail addresses or the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address.

In such case, Sponsor will randomly select the winner from all eligible guesses received prior to and/or after any action taken by Sponsor, or other method deemed fair by Sponsor. Sponsor reserves the right to suspend, modify, alter or terminate the game if any federal or state law, rule or regulation, or any judicial decision or Attorney General Opinion, or any change in the current enforcement policy affects the legality of the game, in whole or in part, as determined by Sponsor. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual it determines to have tampered with the entry process or the operation of the game. Sponsor may void an Entrant's guess (and without a refund if the Entrant is a mobile Subscriber) and prohibit an Entrant from participating in a game (and future games), or winning any Prize if, in its sole discretion, it determines that said Entrant is attempting to undermine the legitimate operation of any game by cheating, hacking, deception, or other unfair playing practices (including but not limited to the use of automated entry programs, the use of automated entry devices, submitting guesses through the use of multiple phone or email accounts owned by the same Entrant or by participating in, or benefiting from, a syndicate, group or block entry process or system), or intending to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other Entrants, Sponsor, or Sweepstakes Entities. Any Entrant found to be violating these Official Rules may be prohibited from participating in current and future games, in Sponsor's sole and absolute discretion.
