  3. HOW TO PARTICIPATE: NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. (SEE RULE #4 FOR DETAILS).

    Visit www.microsoft.com/rewards and follow the links and instructions to create a Microsoft Rewards account (“Account”) or log-in to your Account at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2154201. Creating an Account is free of charge. On the Microsoft Rewards redeem page, Account holders may select the option to redeem two hundred (200) Microsoft Rewards points for a game play in the Promotion, into the Entry Period corresponding to the date played (each a “Game Play”) during the Promotion Period. To redeem points for a Promotion Game Play, you must provide your true first and last name, mailing address, working phone number, and email address, as well as read and agree to these Official Rules. Please ensure that your full legal name is entered in your Account prior to participating in order to be eligible to win a prize. Failure to do so may lead to disqualification. You will earn one (1) Game Play after successfully redeeming your points. For details on how to earn points, see the “Rewards” section of the Microsoft Services Agreement available at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=530144. See Rule #4 for details on how to play without redeeming Microsoft Rewards points. All Game Plays must be received by July 31, 2023 at 9:00:00 AM PT.

    Prizes/awards of points available in the Promotion are randomly time seeded throughout the Promotion Period and awarded to the person who plays on or after the time the prize/award of points is randomly seeded. The time of day when you play the game during the Promotion Period, as recorded by the Web site technology, and the number of Game Plays received will solely determine whether or not you are a Potential Winner (as defined below).

    After clicking the link to play the Promotion, a winning message will be displayed if you are selected as a potential winner (each a “Potential Winner” and, if verified, “Winner”). Potential Winners of Prizes will be sent a “Play Receipt”, including a unique Security Identification Code (SIC), to the email address provided in the registration process within approximately three (3) to five (5) business days (to allow for verification of Game Plays). The Play Receipt and SIC will confirm the results of the applicable Game Play. Please keep this email for reference purposes. If you are not a Potential Winner, a losing message will be displayed on-screen after clicking the link to play the Promotion.

    Multiple participants are not permitted to share the same Microsoft Rewards Account. Any attempt by any participant to use multiple/different Microsoft Rewards Accounts will void that participant's Game Plays and participant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of disqualification, any prize/award of points that participant might have been otherwise entitled to will not be awarded.

    In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of a participant, the Game Play will be deemed to have been made by the “authorized account holder” of the email address associated with the Microsoft Rewards Account. “Authorized account holder” is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an email address by an Internet access or online service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the registered email address. Each participant may be required to show proof of being an authorized account holder. If you do not have Internet access via a personal computer, your local library or Internet café may be able to provide access to the Internet and a number of Internet service providers and other companies offer free email accounts.

  4. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY:

    To play without purchase and without redeeming any Microsoft Rewards points (unless an eligible resident of Japan, for which this participation method will not be available), visit www.microsoft.com/rewards and follow the links and instructions to create an Account (if you do not already have an Account). Then, on a 3" x 5" card or piece of paper, hand-print your full name, complete address, phone number (with area code), date of birth, the email address associated with your Microsoft Rewards Account, and mail it to: “‘MICROSOFT REWARDS INTERNATIONAL INSTANT WIN #10’, Free To Play” at the address below corresponding to your country of residence:

    United States: P.O. Box 8554, Big Sandy, Texas, 75755-8554

    United Kingdom: c/o Bollore, Thurrock Park Way, Tilbury, Essex, RM18 7HW, United Kingdom

    Canada: c/o Helix Global Solutions, 4612 Chemin Bois Franc, Saint Laurent, Quebec, H4S 1A7

    Requests must be postmarked by July 31, 2023 and received by August 8, 2023. Only one (1) request per outer postmarked envelope allowed. Game Play requests mechanically reproduced or made in any fashion other than as specified herein are void. Upon receipt of your request, you will be sent a link by email, which will allow you one (1) Instant Win Game Play for this Promotion; the Promotion will remain open until August 11, 2023 at 11:59:59 PM PT after which time the link will become null and void. Entrants participating in the Promotion via their free email link will receive a Game Play into the Entry Period corresponding to when they redeem their Game Play. For the avoidance of doubt, if a potential entrant does not access the email link and redeem their Game Play by August 11, 2023 at 11:59:59 PM PT, then such entrant shall not receive any Game Play into the Promotion.

    Game Play requests submitted by script, macro or other automated or mechanical means, Game Plays or requests by any means which subvert the entry process and requests made in any fashion other than as specified herein are void. All requests become property of the Sponsor and will not be returned.

    Sponsor may, from time to time by various methods, offer other opportunities to receive a game play in the Promotion without redeeming points.
