1. Legal Classification of the Promotion

This campaign is structured as a promotional sweepstakes, not a lottery.

Under U.S. sweepstakes law, a lottery requires three elements: prize, chance, and consideration. This campaign removes consideration by offering a free method of entry.

  • A vehicle prize is offered

  • Winners are selected by random drawing

  • No purchase is required to enter or win

Paid services are optional and provide promotional bonus entries only.
Free entries receive equal odds of winning.

2. Free Method of Entry (AMOE)

A free, alternative method of entry is always available.

Accepted free entry methods include:

  • Free TaxFlow™ Basic Intake

  • Free manual submission via the campaign entry form

  • Free mailed or digital submission where applicable

All free entries are treated equally and have the same odds of winning as any other entry.

3. Paid Services & Bonus Entries (Non-Consideration)

Paid actions offered during the campaign are legitimate services provided at fair market value and are not related to the value of the prize.

These services may include:

  • Professional tax preparation services

  • Optional Fast-Track intake for convenience

  • Refund advance products offered by third-party banks

  • Cash advance funding awarded only after a return is filed

Any entries associated with paid services are incidental promotional benefits.
Fees are not payments for entry and do not affect the odds of free entries.

4. IRS & Tax Compliance Safeguards

  • ShowUp & ShowOut Cashflows operates as an authorized e-file provider

  • Refund advances are issued by independent third-party financial institutions

  • The vehicle prize is not tied to refund size or tax outcome

  • Filing timelines do not affect entry odds

  • The winner is responsible for all applicable federal, state, and local taxes
