Individuals employed by Motorola Mobility LLC ("Sponsor"), Chicago Cubs Baseball Club, LLC ("Cubs" or "Administrator"), the MLB Entities (as defined herein), and each of their affiliated companies, subsidiaries, and/or advertising and promotion agencies (collectively, "Sweepstakes Parties") at any time during the Sweepstakes Period, and members of their immediate family or persons living in the same household, are not eligible. "MLB Entities" means the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball ("BOC"), its Bureaus, Committees, Subcommittees and Councils, MLB Advanced Media, L.P.

HOW TO ENTER: Entrants may enter the Sweepstakes in one (1) of the following four (4) ways during the Sweepstakes Period:

  • In-Person: to enter the Sweepstakes in person, visit the Sweepstakes display inside the "Motorola Razr Room" at 3635 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60613 (commonly known as "Gallagher Way") during the Sweepstakes Period when open to the public to complete and successfully submit all required information on the official Sweepstake entry form. For the avoidance of doubt, a correct guess to the number of baseball inside the structure in the Motorola Razr Room does not increase your chance of winning.
  • Instagram: To enter via Instagram, you must have a valid public (i.e., not protected) Instagram account and be a follower of @Cubs (the "Sweeps IG Account"). During the Sweepstakes Period, the Sweeps IG Account will publish an Instagram Story from the Motorola Razr Room in Gallagher Way and invite entries into the Sweepstakes (the "Invitation Post"). Using your Instagram account, publish an Instagram post which complies with the instructions specified in the Invitation Post and these Official Rules and include the hashtag #hellocubbiessweepstakes ("IG Entry Post"). Your Entry Post must remain publicly posted through the duration of the Sweepstakes and must comply with the Content Restrictions (as set forth below) and Instagram's Terms of Use, available at help.instagram.com. All information submitted via the Instagram platform is subject to Instagram's privacy policy and Instagram's Terms of Use, available at help.instagram.com. All information submitted via Instagram and shared with any of the MLB Entities per your Instagram account settings, or submitted directly to any of the MLB Entities in connection with the Prize Notification process, is subject to, and will be treated in a manner consistent with, MLB's Privacy Policy, accessible at mlb.com/privacy. If you do not have an Instagram account, you may register for one, for free, at Instagram.com. Data and usage rates may apply to the download and use of the Instagram mobile application. The time of receipt of any Instagram entry shall be the time such entry is made available to Sponsor and/or Cubs via the Instagram platform. Administrator's computer shall be the official clock of the Sweepstakes. Any entries that do not comply with the Content Restrictions or otherwise with these Official Rules and any that are removed or hidden prior to the Drawing Date are void. Failure to follow any Sweepstakes instructions provided by the Sweeps IG Account or these Official Rules may result in disqualification. For the avoidance of doubt, if an individual other than yourself appears in your entry, such individual must (a) be of legal age of majority in his/her jurisdiction and have granted you permission to submit the entry or (b) if under the legal age of majority in his/her jurisdiction, be your child or legal ward. Administrator may require you to verify such permission or parental status before declaring you eligible for a prize. For the avoidance of doubt, a correct guess to a question in the Invitation Post does not increase your chance of winning.
  • X (formerly known as Twitter): To enter, you must have a valid public (i.e., not protected) X account and be a follower of @Cubs (the "Sweeps X Account"). During the Entry Period, the Sweeps X Account will post a Tweet which invites entries into the Sweepstakes.

Any entries that do not comply with the Content Restrictions or otherwise with these Official Rules and any that are removed or hidden prior to the Drawing Date are void. For the avoidance of doubt, a correct guess to any question in the invite Tweet does not increase your chance of winning.
  • Online: To enter online, go to www.cubs.com/hellocubbiessweepstakes to access the online entry form for the Sweepstakes. By successfully transmitting a completed online entry form during the Sweepstakes Period as directed, you will be entered in the Sweepstakes.

Any entries containing such language or any other inappropriate content, as determined by Administrator in their sole and absolute discretion, will be considered ineligible and will not be part of the Sweepstakes. By submitting an entry, each entrant agrees that his or her entry complies with these Official Rules. Each entrant also agrees that Sponsor and/or Cubs may disqualify the entrant from the Sweepstakes if Sponsor and/or Administrator believes, in its sole and absolute discretion that an entry fails to comply with these Official Rules. If Administrator rejects any entry, such entry will be disqualified and will not be considered a valid entry. The submission of an entry is solely the responsibility of the entrant. Entries may only be made according to the method described above. Automated entries (including but not limited to entries submitted using any robot, script, macro, or other automated services) are not permitted and will be disqualified. Only eligible entries actually received by Administrator will be eligible. Illegible, unintelligible, incomplete, or garbled entries will be disqualified.
