5. DRAWING PROCEDURES AND PARTICIPANT CONSENT.The purpose of the random drawing is to attract respondents to a research survey.  There is no sales or marketing purpose.  Survey respondents will be asked if they wish to participate.  Those who decline will not be included in the drawing pool.  All survey respondents will be given a link to these rules, so they may make a judgment as to whether they wish to be included in the drawing pool or not.  Among those who remain in the drawing pool, their email address will be requested on a non-obligatory basis (i.e., they will still have the chance to withdraw their participation if they do not wish to provide an email address).  The use of the email address as described in Section 6 below will be explained to them, so they may make a judgment as to whether they wish to withdraw their participation or not.

6. METHOD OF DETERMINING WINNER.The email address will not be associated with a person.  Instead, it will be used solely as a non-attributable sequential marker to be included on an anonymous list of survey respondents for purposes of the random drawing.  No identifying information such as name, phone number, address, or similar identifying information will be requested from the survey respondents.  Such identifying information will be unknown to the persons conducting the random drawing.  On the drawing date (per Section 4 above), a random selection of one (1) anonymized, non-attributable email address will be made from among all the anonymized, non-attributable email addresses in the drawing pool as of that date.

7. METHOD OF NOTIFYING PRIZE WINNER.  While the name and other identifying information about the winner remains unknown, the survey sponsor will notify the anonymized, non-attributable email address by email that he/she is the winner of the prize.  The winner will then have one (1) week to respond to the email by saying he/she acknowledges winning the prize and would like to receive it.  The anonymized, non-attributable email address will then be asked if he/she meets the eligibility requirements found in Section 3 above and Section 8 below.  If the selected winner fails to reply with sufficient information within the allotted one (1) week, it will result in disqualification and an alternate winner will be selected per the procedures found in Section 6 above.  This process will continue until either the prize is awarded or no valid entries remain.  At no point will any identifying information be requested of the prize winner(s) or prospective prize winner(s).

8. PRIZE AND AWARD.  The survey sponsor will transfer five hundred dollars ($500) to the winner electronically, using an online service such as PayPal, Zelle, or a similar service that provides for transfer of funds to an email address without identifying information such as name, address, phone number, etc.  At no point will the name or other identifying information about the winner be requested.  Actual method of transfer is at the discretion of the survey sponsor.  Winner will be asked as part of eligibility confirmation if this method of transfer is acceptable to him/her.  If the winner declines, he/she will be disqualified and an alternate winner will be selected per the procedures found in Section 6 above.  This process will continue until either the prize is awarded or no valid entries remain.

9. OPTION TO CONVERT A PRIZE TO CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION.The winner may request conversion of a prize to a charitable contribution in an amount equivalent to the value of the prize (in US dollars).  To exercise this option, the winner must state in writing that he/she wishes to make this conversion, and must state the name of the charitable organization which is to receive the funds.  The organization named must be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization in accordance with US law.  Any exception to this requirement will be solely at the discretion of Cascade Strategies, Inc.  Written statement may be emailed to cascade@cascadestrategies.com, ATTN Hannah Johnson, Director of Research, or may be mailed to Cascade Strategies, Inc., 2032 Newport Way NW, Issaquah, WA 98027, USA, ATTN: Hannah Johnson, Director of Research.  Winner must provide a mailing address, contact name, phone number, email address, and website URL for the recipient charitable organization.
