[2] If the Referred Friend thereafter registers for the Sweepstakes, all participants who submitted a Refer a Friend form with the name and valid e-mail address of that Referred Friend will automatically receive one additional Sweepstakes entry (therefore increasing their odds of winning). To refer a friend and receive an additional entry, the email address of the Referred Friend who participates in the Sweepstakes must exactly match the name of the referred person as indicated on the participant’s Refer a Friend form. Each participant may refer up to five friends, but may not refer the same friend twice. A Referred Friend may also refer others and receive additional Sweepstakes entries.
