NEW IDEA PUZZLE SCHEDULE 2020 – 1-26
Prize on offer
17. Total competition prize value is $26,000 as of 12/11/19.
18. Total prize value is $1,000 each week, in 26 weekly draws. Each weekly draw comprises of 6 x $100 cash
and 8 x $50 cash.
19. For any cash prizes your name on your entry must be that of an eligible bank account to which a cheque can
be cashed. All prize values are in Australian dollars. The Promoter makes all reasonable efforts to send
cheques in the names as specified in the original entry. Winning entries with only a family name or reference
to a family as the entrant cannot be cashed by banks. If the winner of any prize is under 18 years, the prize
may be awarded to the winner’s nominated parent or guardian on behalf of the winner, at the discretion of
the Promoter.
20. In all draws, the Promoter will conduct a random draw corresponding to the number of Prizes in the draw,
from highest to lowest prize value, beginning with the major prize. As entries are opened they are allocated
a prize so long as the entrant has answered the associated question correctly. If the associated answer is left
blank or is answered incorrectly then the entry is put aside and a new entry is drawn for the purpose of
awarding that particular prize. Once that prize is awarded, the as yet unawarded entry will be assigned the
next highest value prize for which it has answered the associated answer correctly. This process is continued
for each prize on offer in the draw until each prize category is exhausted and all prizes are awarded.

tampered with the entry process or any other aspect of this competition.
22. The Promoter and their associated agencies and companies is not liable or responsible for any problems or

documentation it deems necessary to confirm if the entrant has breached this clause. An entrant must
provide any requested documentation to the Promoter upon request.
27. Any entrant found to have used a third party (including online competition entry site) to enter on their
behalf will have all entries invalidated and any claim to any prize will be invalidated. If such an entrant is
awarded a prize and then found to have breached this clause, the entrant must immediately return any
awarded prize to the Promoter. The Promoter has sole discretion to determine if this clause has been
breached by any entrant. The Promoter reserves the right to request whatever documentation it deems
necessary to confirm if the entrant has breached this clause. An entrant must provide any requested
