No other method of entry is accepted.
Entrants are permitted to submit a maximum of three (3) Entries per day during the Contest Period. For greater clarification, an official Entry means the Entrant follows and fulfills all requirements as stated in Section 4. Additional Contest entries by the Entrant shall consist of fulfilling all requirements in accordance with Section 4, however, regarding the Entry requirement in Section 4(ii), the Entrant must tag a friend that has not been previously tagged in any other Entry in order to generate an additional Entry into the Contest. For greater certainty, where the Entrant tags a friend that has been previously tagged and fulfills all other entry requirements, such entry shall be considered void and ineligible.
By Monday, May 12th, 2025, one (1) Entrant will be selected by the Sponsor from a random drawing from all eligible Entries received during the Contest Period (“Selected Entrant” or “Selected Entrants”). Sponsor will contact the Selected Entrants via the username associated with the Instagram account used to submit a Contest Entry through Instagram Direct Message by 5:00 PM on Monday, May 12th, 2025. Selected Entrant will have two (2) business days from the initial contact from the Sponsor to: (i) provide a shipping address for the Prize (ii) correctly answer a mathematical skill-testing question and (iii) sign and return to Sponsor a Declaration and Release that contains, but is not limited to (a) an acceptance of Prize (b) a release of Sponsor from liability and (c) an acknowledgment of compliance with the Contest Rules. Upon satisfying such eligibility requirements during the prescribed time periods, the Selected Entrant(s) will be awarded the Prizes.
If applicable, during the Contest Period, Entrant(s) who have entered the Contest and have received a Prize, may only be eligible to win one (1) Prize. No eligible Entrants during the Contest Period shall be allowed to win more than one Prize. In the event a Selected Entrant who previously won a Prize during the Contest Period is randomly selected an additional time, their entry selection shall be disqualified, and the next eligible Entrant randomly selected shall be declared the Selected Entrant.
In the event a Selected Entrant is found to be ineligible, or if the individual cannot or does not comply with these Contest Rules, the Selected Entrant may be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected. To the extent applicable, if the Selected Entrant fails to respond within the prescribed time, such will result in disqualification. Sponsor is not responsible for communication problems of any kind. Sponsor is under no obligation to select an alternate winner.
There is one (1) prize available to be won, consisting of one (1) x Beer Store gift card worth CAD $100.00 and CAD $200.00 cash in the form of an e-transfer for a Spa Experience at winner's discretion (“Prize”). Total approximate value of the Prize is CAD $300.00.

The Sponsor reserves the right at any time, in its sole discretion, in the event that the Prize or any component of any Prize cannot be awarded as described for any reason, to substitute and/or modify the Prize or component of Prize with a prize(s) of equal or greater value, without liability.
By accepting the Prize, the confirmed winner agrees to: (i) waive all recourse against the Releasees if the Prize or a component thereof does not prove satisfactory, either in whole or in part; (ii) any difference between the market value of the Prize and its stated approximate retail value will not be awarded; and (iii) all characteristics and features of the Prize (and of each Prize elements), except as otherwise explicitly stated, are at the Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.
