Approximate retail value of the Prize: $3,000.
No substitutions or exchanges (including for cash) of the Prize or any portion thereof will be permitted, except that Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value for the Prize.
"There was a scheduling conflict. Here's $3k. Don't call us." A tiny amount for a campaign to eat.
