2. The Contest will run from 14th October 2024   (GMT00:00) to 8th  December 2024  (GMT23:59) (“Contest Period”).

3. Entries submitted out of the Contest Period will be disregarded.

4. To stand a chance to win a prize in this Contest, participants have to perform eligible transactions (detailed below) via newsstand.thestar.com.my or manual subscription by using subscription form within the Contest Period:

5. Serial number(s) will only be allocated upon successful processing of the subscription fee payment by the Organizer. Winners will be selected based on the mechanics provided in Clause 6 below.

6. Contest Prize Winner Selection

The total qualified serial numbers allocated over the Contest Period will be divided by the total number of prizes added by one (1) to derive the winning number. For the avoidance of doubt, the winning number will be rounded down to the number resulting from the division. The above mechanics will be applied to derive the winners for the Contest’s prizes.

For example:

If the total qualified serial numbers is “1700” and the number of prizes for the Contest is “4”, then the total qualified serial numbers “1700” will be divided by “5” to derive the winning number “340”. The winners will then be selected based on the multiples of the selected number “340”. For example, the participant with the serial number “340” shall be the first prize winner, the participant with the serial number “680” will be the second prize winner, the participant with the serial number “1020” will be the third prize winner, and so forth.

7. At the end of the Contest Period, selected winners will be contacted via telephone based on the contact number provided during the registration process and will be asked a simple question. In the event any winner is uncontactable after three (3) attempts or he/she is unable to answer the question asked correctly, then he/she will be disqualified and the participant with the next serial number will be selected as the substitute winner.

For example:

If the participant with the winning serial number “340” is uncontactable after three (3) attempts or he/she is unable to answer the question asked correctly, the participant with next serial number “341”, will be selected as the substitute winner. Subsequently, if the participant with serial number “341” is also uncontactable after three (3) attempts or he/she is unable to answer the question asked correctly, the participant with the next serial number “342” will be selected as the next substitute winner, and so forth.

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