Five hundred thirty-six (536) potential winners in total will be selected.
5. Odds
Odds of winning a prize depend on the total number of eligible entries received in the Sweepstakes.
6. Winner Notification/Prize Claiming
Notification. Sponsor expects to begin notifying potential winners via email (or other contact information) on or about January 22, 2027.
As part of the winner notification process, all potential winners of prizes valued at $2,000 or more will be required to sign and return a declaration of eligibility/release of liability/prize acceptance agreement (“Declaration”), within three (3) days of date of notification, as a condition of receiving a prize. If any notification (including the Declaration) is returned as rejected, faulty, unclaimed or returned as undeliverable to a potential winner; or if the potential grand prize winner cannot be contacted within a reasonable time period, fails or refuses to sign and return the Declaration within the required time period and/or a potential winner is ineligible or otherwise fails to fully comply with these Official Rules; such potential winner will be disqualified and an alternate winner will be selected at random from among all remaining eligible entries, up to three (3) alternates, after which the applicable prize will remain unawarded. Potential winner becomes a “winner” only after verification of eligibility by Sponsor.
The Sweepstakes Parties are not responsible for and shall not be liable for incorrect, changed, or illegible contact information or for electronic communications that are undeliverable as a result of any form of active or passive filtering, or insufficient space in entrant’s email or other account to receive messages. Sweepstakes Parties are not responsible for late, lost, intercepted, misdirected, or unsuccessful efforts to notify the potential winner. Notification is deemed to have occurred immediately upon the sending of an email.
Account Standing. As a condition of receiving any prize, a potential winner's Chime Checking Account must be open and in good standing at the time of prize disbursement, as determined by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion; if the account is closed, suspended, restricted, or otherwise not in good standing at that time, the potential winner will be disqualified and the prize may be forfeited or awarded to an alternate winner.
Excess Claims. No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded. If, for any reason, more bona fide winners come forward seeking to claim prizes in excess of the number of prizes set forth in these Official Rules, the winner(s) of the advertised number of prizes available may be selected in a random drawing from among all persons making purportedly valid claims for such prize(s). Inclusion in such drawing shall be each entrant’s sole and exclusive remedy under such circumstances.
7. Prizes/Prize Restrictions

Prizes are non-transferable, with no substitutions except at Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion. All prize details not specified in these Official Rules will be determined in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion. Prize details and availability are subject to change and are subject to applicable rules and restrictions. Winners will be solely responsible for all federal, state, and/or local taxes, and for any other fees or costs associated with the prizes received, regardless of whether they, in whole or in part, are used. For prizes received which total or exceed the applicable IRS reporting threshold, an IRS Form 1099-MISC will be issued to each such prize’s winner. Any unclaimed prize will be forfeited. Prizes, if legitimately claimed, will be awarded. The Sweepstakes Parties are not responsible for, and will not reissue, any prize deposit that cannot be completed to the winner’s Chime Checking Account because the account is closed, restricted, or otherwise unable to receive the deposit. If a winner does not accept or use the entire prize, the unaccepted or unused part of the prize will be forfeited, and the Sweepstakes Parties will have no further obligation with respect to that prize or portion of the prize.
Sponsor expects to begin depositing prizes valued at less than $2,000 into verified winners’ Chime Checking Accounts on or about January 22, 2027. For prizes valued at $2,000 or more, Sponsor expects prize fulfillment to begin thirty (30) days after the winner submits the completed Declaration, subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules.
Notwithstanding the number of entries submitted, each entrant is eligible to win only one (1) prize; if an entrant is selected in connection with more than one (1) prize, the entrant will be awarded only the prize of the highest value, and Sponsor will conduct a random drawing from among the remaining eligible entries to select an alternate winner for each lower-value prize.

If you have agreed or hereafter agree to the Chime User Agreement, and in the event of a conflict between these Official Rules and the Chime User Agreement (available at https://www.chime.com/policies/chime/chime-user-agreement/), the Chime User Agreement will take precedence and control.

In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Sweepstakes-related materials, privacy policy, or terms of use on any website, social media platform, or application (including the App) and/or the terms and conditions of the Official Rules, the Official Rules shall prevail, govern, and control and the discrepancy will be resolved in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.
