6. Duck Entries
A duck entry represents one entry into the Sweepstakes drawing associated with a virtual duck in the race simulation.
Duck entries are virtual entries used for the race simulation and are not physical rubber ducks.
Participants do not select duck numbers. Duck numbers are randomly assigned after the Promotion Period ends.
Participants may win multiple prizes if different duck entries win.
7. Drawings
Five (5) separate random drawings will be conducted:
- Arkansas Drawing
- Mississippi Drawing
- Missouri Drawing
- Tennessee Drawing
- Grand Prize Drawing
The four state drawings will be conducted after entries close on August 13, 2026 using a computerized random selection tool. The drawings will be recorded for transparency.
For each state drawing:
- 3 winning ducks will receive prizes
- 12 additional ducks will advance to the Grand Prize drawing
This results in 15 advancing ducks per state.
A total of 60 ducks will advance to the Grand Prize drawing.
The Grand Prize drawing will occur after the state races from the 60 advancing ducks.
All drawings are conducted by Mid-South Lions, and all decisions of the Sponsor are final and binding.
Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received.
No ties are possible because winners are determined by random drawing.
