If the winner does not respond before midnight on the 7th calendar day following the latest message left, their entry will be declared void, and a new winner will be drawn. At that time, all claims to all prizes will be automatically forfeited by the original winner. 5. The approximate value of the prize is $8,000.00 (eight thousand). Because travel costs fluctuate with exact options booked, the dates of travel, and the dates of booking, amongst other factors, PFBSC will pay for travel costs up to a maximum of $9,000.00 (nine thousand dollars.) Under no circumstance, including but not limited to delay of booking availability due to rule 3 or any other cause, will PFBSC pay for travel costs in excess of $9,000.00. If travel costs exceed that amount, the winner will have the option to pay for the overage from their own funds directly to the travel agent designated by PFBSC or to modify the trip components or dates to bring the cost down to the allotted amount. There are no exceptions to this rule. 6. The winner will be provided the contact information for the travel agent that PFBSC has designated. The PFBSC designated travel agent will also be provided the winners contact information although the responsibility of contact lies with the winner. The travel agent holds no obligation to contact the winner, although they may if they so desire. 7.
