3. How to Enter: There is NO PURCHASE NECESSARY to participate. There are two (2) ways to enter the Sweepstakes during the Sweepstakes Period:
- Make a Purchase: During the Sweepstakes Period, make a qualifying purchase of one (1) Coca‑Cola product (“Qualifying Product”) in store at a Walmart in Canada. Qualifying Products can be found in Appendix A. Next, find the Quick Response Code (“QR Code”) on specially-marked marketing material in digital media or at participating retailers and scan the QR Code to visit here (the “Website”) or visit the Website directly. Next, follow the instructions to log into your Coca‑Cola account (“Account”), and upload a picture of your original receipt (“Receipt”). Your Receipt should also include the store name, date of purchase, the Qualifying Product, and transaction total. Click where indicated to receive one (1) entry into random drawing, and any subsequent Entry Period’s random drawing(s), for the applicable Entry Period (“Website Entry”), subject to the limit below.
- Email Alternate Method of Entry (“AMOE”): To enter the Sweepstakes without making a purchase, send an email to FlagBearerAMOE@dja.com with your first name, last name, street address, province, postal code, date of birth, and email address, with the subject line: “Coca‑Cola® FIFA World Cup 26™ Flag Bearer Sweepstakes” during the Sweepstakes Period to receive one (1) entry (“AMOE Entry”) for the applicable Entry Period, subject to the limit below. Entries must be received by 11:59 pm ET on February 28, 2026, to be eligible.
Website Entries and AMOE Entries will collectively be referred to as “Entry” or “Entries”. Limit one (1) Entry per Entrant per day regardless of the method of entry. A day is defined as beginning at 12:00 am ET and ending at 11:59 pm ET on a calendar day, except on the first day of the Sweepstakes where a day is defined as starting at 10:00 am ET and ending at 11:59 pm ET on October 15, 2025. Any attempt by any Entrant to obtain more than the stated number of Entries by using multiple/different Accounts, email addresses, identities, registrations or logins, or any other methods will void that Entrant’s Entries and that Entrant may be disqualified from the Sweepstakes. In the event of a dispute as to any Entry, the authorized account holder of the email address used to register for the Account will be deemed to be the Entrant. The "authorized account holder" is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Potential winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holders.
4. Random Drawings and Odds of Winning: Twenty (20) separate Entry Period drawings will take place on or about March 2, 2026 to select the number of winners for each Entry Period from among all eligible Entries received for each respective Entry Period. Drawings will be conducted by the Administrator, an independent judging organization whose decisions are final and binding on all matters related to the drawings. The odds of winning will depend on the total number of eligible Entries received for each applicable Entry Period. Non-winning Entries for any Entry Period will be carried forward to subsequent Entry Period(s).

If a potential Prize winner fails to return the completed Declaration within forty-eight (48) hours, answer the math question correctly, if they or their Guest cannot attend the Match, or Declaration is returned as undeliverable, Entrant shall be deemed to be ineligible, the Prize will be forfeited and an alternate potential winner will be selected for the Prize, time permitting.

Up to three (3) alternates may be selected per Prize, time permitting.
