Winners will be contacted by private message via their Facebook account. These prizes cannot be transferred, nor can they be paid out in cash.

Winners will be able to pick up their prize at the store of their choice (among the branches of La Coop Unifrontières) within three (3) weeks. Depending on the location chosen, La Coop Unifrontières must be given two business days to deliver the prize won. After this period and without any protest from the participant, it will then be considered as a final refusal by the participant and no claim will be taken into account. A piece of identification will be required when the prize is collected. Failure to provide such proof may lead to disqualification.
