Drawing
As entries are received in the Public Affairs Department each will be assigned a number in sequence of receipt and filed in numeric order. As soon as possible after the entry deadline and a total number of entries is determined, a drawing will be held by generating a random sequence of numbers between 1 and the total number of entries received. Immediately following the drawing, winners will be contacted based on information on the written entry to confirm identification and contact information.

Participation guidelines
Winners will be briefed on the program noting:

If the winner confirms participation then that person becomes one of the 27 members of the group and additional profile information will be gathered for the media.

If the winner declines participation, or if the contact information is incomplete or incorrect so the person cannot be reached, or if the winner cannot be reached for any reason within two full business days, then the next number in the original random sequencing will be selected and the process continues until there are 27 winners. At that time their names will be released to the media.
