Due to possible mix up of some numbers and email contacts, we ask that you keep this award strictly from public notice until your claim has been processed and your money remitted. This is part of our security protocol to avoid double claiming or unscrupulous acts by some participants of this program.
*Staff of Coca-Cola and the British American Tobacco Company are not to partake in this PROMOTION.
