SWEEPS RULES 

Version: 7.0 
Date Updated: 17 June 2020

NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT NECESSARY TO PARTICIPATE. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND WILL 
NOT INCREASE A PARTICIPANT’S CHANCES OF WINNING. 

Luckyland Slots is an online platform which offers Participants the chance to play 
games for entertainment and enjoyment. Luckyland Slots also gives away Sweepstakes

the same meaning in these Sweeps Rules.
