  11. A free reply SMS will be sent to the SMS Entrant after each successful entry has been received, confirming their entry has been successfully received, advising whether or not they are an Instant Win Prize winner, and, if they are an Instant Win Prize winner, how to claim the Instant Win Prize. The SMS will also confirm that the SMS Entrant has been entered into the relevant Weekly Draw. If an SMS entry is not successful because it is not in the required SMS format or the product code submitted by the Entrant is not recognised by the Promoter as a valid product code for the promotion, an "invalid code" message will be sent to the originating phone number. The "invalid code" message will prompt an Entrant to check their product code and resubmit their SMS entry in the required format. If an Entrant elects to resubmit their SMS entry, the Entrant will incur an additional premium entry SMS $0.55 (including GST) charge. SMS Entrants who re-submit a product code already successfully submitted three (3) times from their mobile phone number earlier on a particular Promotional Day will receive a reply SMS rejecting their entry and notifying the Entrant that the product code has already been entered three (3) times for that mobile number.
  12. Online entries: once an Entrant submits their entry and the Promoter receives and confirms the entry has been successfully received, a message will appear on screen advising whether or not they are an Instant Win Prize winner, and, if they are an Instant Win Prize winner, how to claim the Instant Win Prize. Entrants will also be advised that they have been entered into the relevant Weekly Draw. If an online entry is not successful because the product code submitted by an Entrant is not recognised by the Promoter as an eligible product code for the promotion, an "invalid code" message will appear on screen. The "invalid code" message will prompt the Entrant to check their product code and resubmit their online entry in the manner required. Online Entrants who re-submit a product code already submitted three (3) times from their email address earlier on a particular Promotional Day will receive an on-screen message rejecting their entry and notifying the Entrant that the product code has already been entered three (3) times for that email address. Where an Entrant makes three (3) incorrect entry attempts in a row, that Entrant will be blocked from entering online for sixty (60) minutes. Costs associated with accessing the Promotional Website remain an Entrant's responsibility and may vary depending on the Internet service provider used.
  13. Entries will be deemed accepted at the time of receipt by the Promoter and not at the time of transmission. Entries received will be considered final by the Promoter. Incomplete, inaccurate, erroneous, ineligible or incomprehensible entries will be deemed invalid. The Promoter accepts no responsibility for late, lost or misdirected entries. SMS is not a guaranteed delivery communication tool. The Promoter and the service provider cannot accept responsibility for any SMS messages not received. Contact details entered incorrectly by an Entrant on the Promotional Website or in a SMS entry will deem an entry invalid.
  14. Each Entrant must retain and may be required to present proof of each Eligible Purchase in order to claim a prize. An Entrant may be required to provide to the Promoter proof of purchase for all entries made. If an Entrant is unable to provide proof of purchase for all entries made within the required timeframes, then all the entries of that Entrant may be ineligible and deemed invalid. Proof of sale includes showing the original and providing a photocopy of the original receipt OR providing the original packaging of each Eligible Product, for each Eligible Purchase made during the Promotional Period. Purchase receipt(s) must clearly state the participating McDonald's restaurant and indicate that the Eligible Purchase was made during the Promotional Period but prior to entry. Eligible Product packaging must be intact and must clearly display the product code utilised by the Entrant to enter the promotion.

If an Instant Win Prize is not won in any Promotional Day because there are no entries received at the relevant time, then that Instant Win Prize will automatically rollover into the next Promotional Day (if any).
