A random draw will be conducted by Stride Management Corp. on behalf of the Government of Alberta from among all the eligible entries received by the registration deadline. Winners of each prize draw are scheduled to be notified on September 17, 2021.
Prize draw dates may be changed at the sole discretion of the Government of Alberta, including where it determines that further time is required to verify a winner’s eligibility to be awarded a prize as drawn.
Draws will be made in order from the highest cash or cash equivalent prize to the lowest cash or cash equivalent prize. The first selected registrant to meet all of the eligibility requirements shall be declared the prize winner, subject to meeting all conditions described in these rules.
Following the draw, Alberta Health will contact winners from that draw at the email or phone number provided by the winner when they registered.
Winners will have up to five (5) calendar days from the day Alberta Health first attempts to contact the winner to do the following:
- Notify Alberta Health they wish to claim their prize; and
- provide the necessary records as required or requested by Alberta Health so it may determine the winner’s eligibility to be awarded their prize.
Alberta Health may, in its sole discretion, extend this 5 day claim period.
For clarity the first day of the five (5) day claim period commences at 12:00 am mountain daylight time on the calendar day when Alberta Health makes its first attempt to contact a winner by way of the winner’s email address or telephone number in their entry. For further clarity the 5th calendar day expires at 11:59 pm of that day.
By way of example if a prize draw is made on July 25, 2021 and the winner is first contacted by Alberta Health on July 26, 2021 then the winner must notify Alberta Health they wish to claim their prize and provide all the necessary documents to verify their eligibility for that prize no later than 11:59 pm mountain daylight time on July 30, 2021.
Subsequent to being contacted by a winner indicating they wish to claim their prize Alberta Health will commence the process to verify the eligibility of a winner in accordance with the rules of the OAV Lottery prior to awarding the winner their prize.
If Alberta Health determines, at its sole discretion that: (a) the winner has not notified Alberta Health that they wish to accept their prize and provided the necessary verification records to Alberta Health within the above noted 5 day claim period, (b) the winner declines its prize, or (c) the winner has failed to provide the information required to verify their eligibility, then the prize shall be forfeited and the Government of Alberta may re-draw the prize.
Draw date is subject to change. If the draw date changes, or additional draw dates are added, the new dates and registration deadlines will be posted on the website alberta.ca/OutdoorLottery. The procedure for awarding prizes will remain the same regardless of any change of draw dates.
Verified winners will receive specific instructions from Alberta Environment and Parks on how to activate and make use of their awarded prize.
