SWEEPSTAKES PERIOD: The Venture into the Wild Sweepstakes ("Sweepstakes") begins at 12:00 AM Eastern Time ("ET") on August 16, 2019 and ends at 11:59 PM ET on November 2, 2019 ("Sweepstakes Period").

ELIGIBILITY: The Sweepstakes is open to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States (including the District of Columbia) who are twenty-one (21) years of age or older and have a valid driver's license as of the start of the Sweepstakes. Employees, officers, directors of Blue Buffalo Company, Ltd. ("Sponsor") Don Jagoda Associates, Inc. ("Administrator"), and each of their respective parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, retailers, advertising and promotion agencies and judging organizations (collectively with Sponsor and Administrator, the "Released Parties"), as well as their immediate family members (spouses, parents, children and siblings) and/or persons living under the same household are not eligible to enter. This Sweepstakes shall be construed and evaluated solely according to United States law and subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations. Void where prohibited. By entering, Entrants ("Entrants") acknowledge compliance with these Official Rules, including eligibility requirements.

HOW TO ENTER: During the Sweepstakes Period, Entrants can enter the Sweepstakes by visiting www.Wildsweeps.com (the "Website") and following the instructions to complete all required fields of the on-screen registration form, to receive one (1) entry ("Entry") into the Sweepstakes. Entries must be received by 11:59 PM ET on November 2, 2019 to be entered into the drawing. Limit one (1) Entry per person/email address per day throughout the Sweepstakes Period. All Entries are subject to verification. Use of computer programs and other automatic means to enter the Sweepstakes is prohibited and will result in disqualification. Any attempt by any Entrant to obtain more than the stated number of Entries by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void such Entries and that Entrant may be disqualified. Normal Internet access and usage charges imposed by Entrants' online service will apply and are Entrants' sole responsibility. Entries become the property of Sponsor upon receipt and will not be acknowledged or returned. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, misdirected, corrupted or incomplete Entries. Proof of submission is not proof of receipt by Sponsor. If there is a dispute as to the identity of an Entrant, it will be determined that the Entry will be declared to be made by the authorized account holder of the e-mail address associated with the Entry. "Authorized account holder" is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an email address by an Internet Access provider, on-line service provider, or other organization (e.g., business, educational institution, etc.) that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address. The Administrator's database clock will be the official timekeeping device for the Sweepstakes. If entering via mobile, data/usage rates may apply.

RANDOM DRAWING/ODDS: There will be one (1) Grand Prize winner and five (5) First Prize winners selected from among all eligible Entries received during the Sweepstakes Period on or about November 4, 2019. The random drawing will be conducted by the Administrator, an independent judging organization whose decisions are final on all matters relating to this Sweepstakes. Odds of winning the Grand Prize depend on the total number of eligible Entries received during the Sweepstakes Period.

WINNER NOTIFICATION: The potential Grand Prize winner and potential First Prize winners (collectively, "Prize winners") will be notified on or about November 11, 2019 by the Administrator via phone and/or email and will be required to execute and return via mail, email or an email document link, an Affidavit of Eligibility/Release of Liability and Publicity Release form (where legal) within seven (7) days of notification attempt or their Entry may be disqualified and a potential alternate winner may be selected, time permitting. If potential Prize winner notification is returned as non-deliverable, or if the Entrant fails to return the required verification documents or respond within the required time frame, said Entrant may be disqualified. If a potential Prize winner is found to be ineligible or if they do not comply with the Official Rules, said Entrant will be disqualified. If an Entrant is disqualified for one of the reasons mentioned above, an alternate may be selected, time permitting. Each travel companion of each Grand Prize/First Prize winner must be 18 years of age or older at time of travel or the Prize winner must be the parent or legal guardian of travel companion. Each travel companion of each Prize winner (or winner/one of the travel companions as the parent or legal guardian of a minor travel companion) will be required to execute a Release of Liability and Publicity Release and return it via email to the Administrator prior to travel. Acceptance of a prize constitutes permission for Released Parties to use Prize winners' name, Entry, pictures, footage (as defined below) and likeness for promotional purposes in any and all media throughout the Universe in perpetuity without further compensation except where prohibited by law.

Sponsor reserves the right to conduct a background check on the Grand Prize winner and reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify the Entrant based on the results of such background check, if Sponsor determines in its sole discretion that awarding a prize to such Entrant might reflect negatively on Sponsor. Factors that would result in disqualification as an Entrant include, without limitation, any Entrant having been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor, being delinquent on a government ordered payment, such as child support, spousal support, alimony, tax payments, etc. In the event any Prize winner or their travel companions engages in behavior that (as determined by Sponsor in Sponsor's sole discretion) is inappropriate or threatening, illegal or that is intended to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person, Sponsor reserves the right to terminate the trip early, in whole or in part, and send the Prize winner and/or travel companion(s) home with no further compensation to the Prize winner.
