For further example, if two Entrants tie for the Grand Prize and remain tied after all four tiebreakers described above are exhausted, neither the Grand Prize nor the Runner-Up Prize will be awarded but instead the total approximate value of the Grand Prize and the Runner-Up Prize will be paid in equal parts to the tied Entrants.
