A random draw will be held for one (1) of each of the twelve (12) prizes at the offices of Manulife, 250 Bloor Street East, Toronto, Ontario at 2:00 p.m. on the first Wednesday of the month starting Wednesday, April 5, 2023 and ending Wednesday, March 6, 2024. The draw will be made from all eligible entries received the month prior to the draw. For example, the draw on Wednesday, April 5, 2023 will be made from all eligible entries received between 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday, March 1, 2023 and 11:59 p.m. on Friday, March 31, 2023. Only twelve (12) prizes will be awarded for the entire contest.

The odds of winning depend on the number of completed eligible Entries received during the Contest Period. There is a limit of one (1) Prize per entrant.

The person with a selected Entry (“Selected Entrant”) will be notified by email (using the information provided on the Entry Form) on a business day with instructions 72 hours following the selection. If Manulife cannot reach the Selected Entrant within 72 hours or if the Selected Entrant fails to comply with one of the conditions mentioned in these Contest Rules or to accept the Prize as awarded, the Selected Entrant may be disqualified from the Contest.

To be declared a winner, Manulife may ask each Selected Entrant to confirm that they meet the eligibility requirements in Section 3 of these Contest Rules and may require them to provide proof of identification. Each Selected Entrant must correctly answer, without assistance of any kind, a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question administered by Manulife.

Where a Selected Entrant is disqualified from the Contest, Manulife may, at its sole discretion, hold a new draw based on all other eligible Entries until an alternate Selected Entrant is declared a winner. In the event that no alternate Selected Entrant has been declared a winner after three (3) draws, Manulife may, at its sole discretion, cancel the Contest, in whole or in part.

No Prize is transferrable, and no substitution of a Prize is permitted except at the discretion of Manulife who reserves the right to substitute a Prize with another reward of comparable or greater value if the Prize is unavailable or cannot be awarded as described for any reason. The confirmed winner of the Contest must accept the Prize as awarded and must sign Manulife’s declaration and release form. Any and all taxes (including any federal or provincial sales taxes), costs, fees, expenses, or any other charges which may be owing on the Prize are the sole responsibility of the winner of the Contest.

When entering the Contest, certain personal information will be required in the Entry Form (including first name, last name, and email address). Such required personal information will be used to administer the Contest (e.g., to contact a participant or a participant's designate with a Selected Entry). All personal information collected from participants will be handled in accordance with the terms and conditions of Manulife’s privacy policy, which can be found on Manulife.ca/privacy-policies.html.
