Last week, when LIME (formerly know as Cable and Wireless) announced on the radio that they will be giving one lucky winner US$1 Million. Like everyone else I was eager and was ready to enter my chance, but not before I read the terms of service/ competitions rules. I like to know what I an agreeing to.
Here are a few things that stood out to me.

In the event that a selected prize winner is under eighteen years, then the prize will be handed over to the winners’ parents or legal guardian.

Cable and Wireless holds the rights to disqualified anyone if?
