Selection of Winners

The total qualified participants with the correct answer submitted within the Contest Period will be divided by two hundred and four (204) to derive the winners in accordance with the order of the prizes set out in Clause 6. For the avoidance of doubt, the winning number will be rounded down to the number resulting from the division. 

For example:

If the total qualified participants is “1999”, it will be divided by two hundred and four (204) to derive the selected number of “9.799”. Two hundred and three (203) winners will then be selected based on the rounded down of the selected numbers, hence every 9th qualified participant will win the first prize and so forth. 

8

Notification of Winners

After the Contest Period ends, the selected winners will be contacted via telephone call within sixty (60) days after the Contest Period using the details provided during the submission process. In the event the selected winner fails to respond to the Organiser’s telephone call after three (3) attempts, then he/she will be disqualified and the participants with the next serial number will be selected as the substitute winner.

For example:

If the total qualified number of participants is “1999”, it will be divided by two hundred and four (204) to derive the selected number of “9.799”. Two hundred and three (203) winners will then be selected based on the rounded down of the selected number, hence every 9th qualified participant will win the offered prize. If the selected winner fails to respond to the Organiser’s telephone call after three (3) attempts, then the 10th participant will be selected as the substitute winner.

The Organiser shall not be held liable in the event the selected winner cannot be contacted for whatever reasons.
