8. A free reply SMS will be sent to the SMS Entrant after their entry has been received, confirming their entry has been successfully received, advising whether or not they are a Hourly Prize winner, and, if they are a Hourly Prize winner, how to claim the Hourly Prize. The SMS will also confirm that the SMS Entrant has been entered into the relevant Daily Draw and Weekly Draw. If an SMS entry is not successful because it is not in the required SMS format or the promotional code submitted by the Entrant is not recognised by the Promoter as a valid promotional 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 promotional code and resubmit their SMS entry in the required format.

If an online entry is not successful because the promotional code submitted by an Entrant is not recognised by the Promoter as an eligible promotional code for the promotion, an “invalid code” message will appear on screen.

11. Each Entrant must retain and will 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 will be ineligible and deemed invalid.
