Only one survey may be completed after participating in a webinar session for entry into the Manulife webinar series.
You are not eligible to enter this contest if you, your spouse, child, parent, or a person you're domiciled with is an employee, representative, or agent of Manulife or a subsidiary or affiliate of Manulife or any related promotional or advertising agencies. Any decision made by Manulife in respect of any entrant’s eligibility is final and nonappealable.

The promotional period begins October 1, 2024, and ends December 15, 2024, at midnight, Eastern time (the promotional period). Surveys must be completed and sent no later than midnight, Eastern time, December 15, 2024 (the contest closing date).
3. Entry
No purchase is necessary to enter or win. All eligible individuals who participate in a free webinar and complete the survey will be automatically entered into the contest. Once your survey is completed, you will be entered into the contest if you meet the eligibility requirements in rule 1. Online access is required in order to participate in this contest. Many public libraries, retail businesses, and other public places offer free access to computers and internet service.
4. Draw
At 10:00 A.M., Eastern time, December 19, 2024, 500 King St N, in Waterloo, Ontario, one potential winning entry will be randomly drawn from all eligible entries received by the contest closing date. The prize winner will be informed by email. If, after making such efforts as Manulife in its sole discretion deems reasonable, a potential winner cannot be contacted by email with the email provided at the webinar registration within 10 business days of the official draw date, an alternate potential winner will be drawn. Only one prize will be awarded for the contest. The awarding of the prize is contingent on the entrant’s full compliance with the official contest rules and regulations.
Once contacted, the potential winner will be required to correctly answer, unaided, a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question to be administered by Manulife. All decisions of Manulife or designate in administering the skill-testing question shall be final. If the skill-testing question is not answered correctly, a new potential winner will be drawn from the remaining eligible contest entries. This process shall repeat until one potential winner who has complied with these rules is successfully contacted and correctly answers the skill-testing question and is thereby declared the contest winner (the prize winner).
5. Prize and odds of winning
The prize winner will receive one Visa gift card (approximate retail value of $100.00). The prize must be accepted as awarded. Manulife reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value if the advertised prize is unavailable. The prize will be delivered to the prize winner by courier to the address provided by the contest winner.
Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received for the drawing.
