The Promotion is subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations and is void where prohibited. Sponsor’s and Administrator’s decisions are final and binding in all matters related to the Promotion. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.

5. How to Enter: There are 2 ways to enter: 

  1. Purchase a Collectible Cup: During the Promotion Period, purchase a collectible “Cup” at a participating Chick-fil-A® restaurant, while supplies last. There will be 5 different Cup designs offered throughout the Promotion Period. Each Cup will contain a “Card Insert” that will indicate if you are a potential winner. While it is intended that the gold Cups will contain the winning Card Inserts, in all cases the win or lose message on the Card Insert will be determinative, regardless of the color of the Cup. Winning Card Inserts will include a unique “Code” and prize claim instructions. All potential winners must complete the online prize claim process to claim their prize and are subject to verification before the prize will be awarded. See Section 7 below on how to claim the prize. 
  2. Mail In for a Chance to Win: To enter without purchase, you must have a Chick-fil-A One® account. Chick-fil-A One® accounts are free, but are subject to the program Terms and Conditions. Print your name, address, phone number, email address associated with your Chick-fil-A One® account and date of birth on a piece of paper and mail it in an envelope with proper postage to “Chick-fil-A Golden Fan Sweepstakes,” c/o Merkle Inc., P.O.

For each mail in request received, entrant will receive 1 entry into one of the two “Drawings” detailed below, based on the date Administrator receives the mail-in request.

6. All potential WINNERS are subject to verification by Sponsor or administrator, whose decisions are final AND BINDING. An entrant is not a winner of any prize, even if the CARD INSERT and code SHOULD so indicate, unless and until ENTRANT HAS SUBMITTED THE CODE TO THE REDEMPTION SITE, entrant’s eligibility has been verified and entrant has been notified that verification is complete. Sponsor will not accept PHOTOS, COPIES OR other evidence of winning in lieu of its validation process.  

7. Winner Selection, Prize Redemption and Verification of Potential Winners: Receiving a prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules. You must be a Chick-fil-A One® member to claim a prize. The Chick-fil-A One® program is free, but is subject to the program Terms and Conditions. If you are not a member, then you may join online or through the Chick-fil-A Mobile App. Administrator is an independent organization whose decisions as to the administration and operation of the prize claim process are final and binding in all matters related to the Promotion.   

  1. For Entrants who purchased a winning collectible Cup: There will be 3,000 winning Cups available as of the start of the Promotion Period randomly seeded within all 5,603,000 Cups available for purchase. Accordingly, the odds of receiving a winning Cup are approximately 1 in 1,868. If you received a winning Cup, you must complete the following online claim process no later than July 1, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. ET: 
  2. Visit chick-fil-a.com/prize-cup-sweepstakes (the “Redemption Site”); 
  3. Log into your Chick-fil-A One® account; and 
  4. Enter the unique Code on your Card Insert and your state of residency.

Failure to complete the process during the Promotion Period will result in forfeiture of the prize. Potential winners should retain their winning Card Insert until they have received their prize.   

For Mail-In Entrants: On or around the dates listed above in Section 5.B., Administrator will award an additional number of prizes to mail-in entrants by conducting random drawings. The number of prizes awarded at each of the 2 random drawings will be determined based on the number of mail in requests received, ensuring that the odds of winning are at least equal to (or greater than) those of the entrants who purchase a Cup (1 in 1,868). Specifically, for every 1,868 mail-in requests received for each Drawing, Administrator will select 1 winner. If there are fewer than 1,868 mail-in requests, Administrator will randomly select 1 winner. If no mail-in requests are received, no winner will be selected for that Drawing. There is no cap to the number of prizes Sponsor may award to mail-in entrants. Administrator will notify winners by email. Prizes will be deposited into winner’s Chick-fil A One® account, in the Rewards section, within approximately 1-4 weeks after winner confirmation.
