NO PURCHASE OR INSURANCE QUOTE IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN.  PURCHASING OR OBTAINING A QUOTE WILL NOT INCREASE THE ODDS OF WINNING.

ELIGIBILITY

HOW TO ENTER

Generally, a promotion will run from the time the promotion tweet (the “Promotion Tweet”) is published by the Nationwide Twitter handle to the end period identified in the Promotion Tweet (“Promotion Period”).

To enter, visit the Nationwide Twitter page and follow the instructions identified in the Promotion Tweet. Generally, entrants must retweet the Promotion Tweet to enter.  Private Twitter handles are ineligible.  All entries in the Prize drawing have an equal chance of winning.  Odds of winning a prize depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Promotion Period.

Limit (1) entry in the Prize drawing, per person during the Promotion Period. Multiple entries will not be accepted. Anyone found to use multiple Twitter accounts to enter Promotions will be ineligible.

Entry constitutes consent to participate in Promotions and for Nationwide to obtain, use, and transfer the entrant’s name, address, Twitter handle and other details for Promotion administration purposes.  Nationwide will not be responsible for lost, incomplete, illegible, late, misdirected, stolen, or mutilated entries; technical or mechanical malfunctions; errors in the Official Rules, in any related ads or materials; or processing error.  Nationwide can void the entry of any entrant who it believes has attempted to tamper with or impair Promotion administration, security, fairness, or proper play.

DRAWING

One (1) winner of the Prize will be selected in a random drawing, from all eligible Prize drawing entries received during the relevant Promotion Period.

Winners will be notified via a Twitter direct or public message. If a Prize winner is not eligible to win, or if Nationwide is unable to contact the winner after a good faith effort, the prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner may be selected. Odds of winning depend on number of eligible entries received.
