NEWPORT PAYDAY SCRATCH OFF INSTANT WIN GAME ("GAME")
NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO PLAY OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.

1. ELIGIBILITY: THE GAME IS OPEN TO ONLY LEGAL RESIDENTS OF THE 50 UNITED STATES AND WASHINGTON D.C. (EXCLUDING RESIDENTS OF MA,MI & PR), WHO ARE TOBACCO SMOKERS 21 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER AT THE TIME OF PARTICIPATION AND HAVE A VALID PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER ("PID") AND PASSWORD PROVIDED BY THE SPONSOR.

Employees, officers, and directors (and their immediate families [spouse, children, parents, siblings, and their respective spouses] and those living in their same households) of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company ("Sponsor"), its parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising and promotion agencies, and Web masters/suppliers are not eligible. By participating, entrants agree to abide by these Official Rules and the decisions of the Sponsor, which are final and binding in all matters relating to this Game. Game subject to applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

2. GAME PERIOD: Game begins at 12:00:00 p.m. (noon) Eastern Time ("ET") on April 3, 2018 and ends at 11:59:59 a.m. ET on June 26, 2018 ("Game Period"). Sponsor's computer is the official clock for this Game.

3. HOW TO PARTICIPATE: In order to participate, you must have a PID (as described in Rule #1). If you do not have a PID, see "How to obtain a Free PID and update your PID contact information" below. Upon obtaining a PID, visit www.NewportPleasure.com ("Website") during the Game Period and look for the Game link. Click on the indicated Game link and follow the online instructions to play for a chance to win an Instant Win Prize (a "Play"). All entrants must have a valid email address.

During the Game Period, randomly selected times will be assigned, and the first entrant who completes a Play in accordance with the online instructions (whose Play is properly received and recorded by Sponsor's computer) at or after a randomly selected time will win the indicated Instant Win Prize (subject to verification). If your screen displays a prize-winning message, you are a winner of the Instant Win Prize indicated (subject to verification, see Rule #5 below). If your screen does not display a prize-winning message, you are not a winner of an Instant Win Prize.

All Plays must be received and recorded during the Game Period. Limit one (1) Play per person/PID per day. A "day" is defined as the 24 hours between 12:00:00 a.m. (midnight) ET and 11:59:59 p.m. ET of the same day, except for the first day of the Game Period which begins at 12:00:00 p.m. (noon) ET and ends at 11:59:59 p.m. ET of the same day and the last day of the Game Period which begins at 12:00:00 a.m. ET and ends at 11:59:59 a.m. ET of the same day. Plays generated by a robotic, programmed, script, macro or other automated means will be disqualified. Any attempt by any person to submit more than one (1) Play per day by using multiple/different PIDs or any other methods will void all of that person's Plays. If a person fails to execute a Play on a given day for any reason, such person forfeits the Play for that day. An entrant's Play for one day cannot be saved or combined with such entrant's Play for any other day; each day's Play by an entrant is a separate and independent event.

How to obtain a Free PID and update your PID contact information: A valid PID issued by Sponsor and password will be required to participate in the Game. A PID and password can be obtained for free at the Website by registering as a new user. No responsibility is assumed for failure to contact an entrant due to that entrant's failure to maintain or update his/her contact information. Contact information may be updated (subject to certain conditions imposed by Sponsor) by following the online instructions on the Website. Each entrant is responsible for the security of his/her PID and password. Each entrant should take precautions to keep his/her PID and password private to prevent unauthorized use. Sponsor will not be responsible for any losses, damages or consequences you may suffer due to careless or unauthorized use of a PID and password. Entrants must only use one (1) PID and password and must only use the PID and password assigned to entrant by Sponsor. Should any entrant attempt to use more than one PID and/or password, or a PID and/or password that was not assigned to entrant, that entrant and their Plays may be disqualified in Sponsor's sole discretion.

By registering for a PID, entrants may automatically be added to the Sponsor's e-mail and mailing distribution list. You may subsequently opt out of either distribution list by calling toll-free 1-877-760-0778 or by logging on to the Website, clicking on the "FAQs" link located in the footer of the Website, and following the instructions under "How can I be removed from the Newport mailing/email list?" Opting out of either distribution list will not affect entrant's chance of winning. Please see Sponsor's Privacy Policy located at https://www.newport-pleasure.com/...vacyPolicy for details regarding the use of personal information collected in connection with this Game. If you are selected and verified as a winner, your information may also be included in a publicly-available winner's list. Additionally, any communication between a potential winner and Sponsor or its agencies regarding this Game (e.g., phone calls, text messages, chats, email, etc.) may be recorded for quality assurance and training purposes.

5. GENERAL CONDITIONS: By participating in the Game, (a) entrants agree that R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, its parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising and promotion agencies, and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (collectively, the "Promotion Parties") are indemnified, released and will be held harmless by entrants from any and all liability, including liability for any damages, injuries or losses of any kind to person(s), including death, or property arising directly or indirectly from the acceptance, possession, misuse or use of prize or his/her participation in this Game or any Game-related activity; and (b) winners grant (and agree to confirm such grant in writing promptly upon request) to Sponsor and those acting under Sponsor's authority the right to the use of his/her name, photograph, likeness, voice, image, statements and biographical information at any time or times for advertising, trade, publicity and promotional purposes (including the advertising and promotion of tobacco products) in any media now known or hereafter discovered, worldwide and on the World Wide Web, without review, notification, approval or additional compensation, unless prohibited by law. All winners are subject to age verification and confirmation that they meet the eligibility criteria set forth in these Official Rules. An entrant is not a winner of any prize, even if a prize-winning message or any other aspect of the Game should so indicate, unless and until the entrant's eligibility and the potential winning Play has been verified. Screen shots or other evidence of winning will not be accepted in lieu of the validation process.
First, Second, and Third Prize checks will be shipped to winners within four (4) to eight (8) weeks of winner verification. The Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Prizes will be awarded via mail at the mailing address associated with the winner's PID within four (4) to eight (8) weeks of winner verification. If an Instant Win Prize is returned as nondeliverable or if a winner is found to be ineligible or otherwise not in compliance with these Official Rules, the applicable prize may be forfeited. Unclaimed Instant Win Prizes will not be awarded.
Sponsor is not responsible for any change of email address, mailing address and/or telephone number of entrants. Reporting and payment of federal, state and local income and other taxes on the Instant Win Prizes, if any, are solely the responsibility of each winner. Sponsor's failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
