If a winner does not respond to Visit San Simeon’s notification within two days or is unwilling to or cannot accept the Prize, the Prize will be forfeited, and an alternate winner may be selected from the Sweepstakes entrants. If an entrant is deemed ineligible, an alternate winner may be selected from the entry pool. No more than the advertised number of
prizes will be awarded.
