HOPDODDY “NATIONAL CHEESEBURGER DAY”
OKTOBERFEST GIVEAWAY — OFFICIAL RULES
NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. OPEN ONLY TO ELIGIBLE LEGAL RESIDENTS OF AZ, CA, CO, FL, GA, LA, TN & TX, 21 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER AT TIME OF ENTRY. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW.
1. Sponsor
This giveaway (the “Giveaway”) is sponsored by HiBar Hospitality Operation LLC d/b/a Hopdoddy Burger Bar (“Sponsor”), 512 E Riverside Drive Suite 150, Austin TX 78704.
2. Eligibility
The Giveaway is open only to legal residents of the following eight (8) states at the time of entry: Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Colorado, Arizona, and California (the “Eligible States”), and who are twenty-one (21) years of age or older at the time of entry. Employees, officers, directors, and agents of Sponsor, its parent, subsidiary, and affiliated companies, and its advertising and promotion agencies (collectively, the “Giveaway Entities”), and each such person’s immediate family members (spouse, parent, child, sibling, and their respective spouses, regardless of where they live) and household members (whether related or not), are not eligible to enter or win. The Giveaway is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations and is void where prohibited.
Because the Grand Prize involves travel to a festival centered on alcohol, the winner and guest must each be of legal drinking age in the jurisdiction of travel and must present valid government-issued photo identification confirming age and identity before travel arrangements are confirmed. Sponsor does not furnish alcohol as part of the prize and is not responsible for its consumption; winner and guest are solely responsible for complying with all local alcohol and other laws during the trip.
By submitting an entry (online or by mail), each entrant affirmatively certifies that they satisfy all eligibility requirements in this Section 2, including that they are twenty-one (21) years of age or older and a legal resident of one of the Eligible States, and that all information provided as part of the entry is true, current, and complete. Sponsor reserves the right, at any time, to require proof of eligibility (including government-issued photo identification) and to disqualify any entrant, revoke any prize, and/or require return of an awarded prize if Sponsor determines, in its sole discretion, that an entrant provided false or inaccurate eligibility information or otherwise does not meet these requirements.
3. Giveaway Period
Free scratch-off entry cards will be distributed in person at participating Hopdoddy Burger Bar locations in the Eligible States on Friday, September 18, 2026 (“National Cheeseburger Day”), during normal business hours, while supplies last, to any guest who requests one - no purchase is required to receive a card (the “Distribution Period”). Codes revealed on entry cards must be submitted online at Hopdoddy.com/Oktoberfest (the “Website”) no later than 11:59:59 p.m. Central Time on September 18, 2026. Free mail-in Alternate Method of Entry requests (see Section 4, Method 2) must be postmarked by September 18, 2026 and received by Sponsor no later than September 25, 2026 (collectively, the “Entry Period”). Sponsor's database clock is the official time-keeping device for the Giveaway.

5. Prize
One (1) Grand Prize will be awarded, with a total Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) of $4,500, regardless of which of the following three trip options for two (2) people the winner selects. For the selected option, Sponsor will book and pay directly for: round-trip, coach-class airfare for two (2) from a major U.S. airport near the winner's residence (or, for Options 2 and 3, mileage reimbursement, up to a maximum of $1,200, in lieu of airfare if the winner elects to drive); hotel accommodations for two (2), double occupancy, for up to the maximum number of nights listed for that option; and the festival admission/tent passes listed for that option. Any remaining balance of the $4,500 ARV after Sponsor books those arrangements will be paid to the winner as spending money. If the actual cost of airfare and hotel for the winner's selected option exceeds $4,500, no spending money will be provided for that option, and Sponsor is not obligated to spend more than $4,500 total; Sponsor may work with the winner to select comparable, lower-cost travel dates or accommodations to stay within budget.
Option 1 — Oktoberfest 2027 in Munich, Germany
- Round-trip, coach-class airfare for two (2) to Munich, Germany;
- Hotel accommodations for two (2), up to a maximum of 4 nights; and
- Oktoberfest tent reservation(s)/entry passes for two (2).

- Round-trip coach-class airfare (or mileage reimbursement, at winner's election) for two (2) to Cincinnati, Ohio;
- Hotel accommodations for two (2), up to a maximum of 4 nights; and
- Oktoberfest Zinzinnati admission/beer-garden passes for two (2).

- Hotel accommodations for two (2), up to a maximum of 4 nights; and

Actual value of the selected option may vary based on departure city, travel dates, and market fluctuations; any difference between the stated ARV and actual value will not be awarded in cash or otherwise. No cash redemption, cash-value difference, or exchange between options is permitted once the winner's selection is confirmed, except that Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to substitute a prize (or any component of a prize option) of equal or greater value if the advertised prize becomes unavailable. No responsibility is assumed for cancellation or postponement of any prize-related events due to causes beyond Sponsor’s control. In the event of a cancellation or postponement after travel has been booked, the remainder of the trip may be awarded as the complete prize.
Trip must be booked and completed during the 2027 festival dates applicable to the winner's selected option, subject to availability, no later than July 1st, 2027. Winner and guest must travel together on the same itinerary. If Option 1 (Munich) is selected, winner and guest are each solely responsible for possessing a valid, unexpired passport (and any visa, if required) at the time of travel, for complying with all destination-country entry requirements, and for any travel insurance they wish to purchase; Options 2 and 3 do not require a passport. If either winner or guest cannot travel due to lack of proper documentation, unavailability, or otherwise, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to award that portion of the prize to an alternate companion named by the winner, to allow the winner to select a different option (if still available), or to reduce or forfeit the applicable portion of the prize, with no additional compensation. The prize is non-transferable. Winner is responsible for all taxes on the prize and for any expenses not expressly listed above (e.g., ground transportation beyond what is included, meals not covered, incidentals, gratuities, additional excursions). Valid credit card will be required at hotel check-in for incidental charges. Winner will be required to complete and return IRS Form W-9; Sponsor will issue an IRS Form 1099 reflecting the ARV of the prize as required by law.
6. Winner Selection and Notification
One (1) potential winner will be selected in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received during the Entry Period, which includes both online code submissions and mail-in entries. To ensure every eligible mail-in entry (postmarked by September 18, 2026 and received by September 25, 2026) is included in the pool, the drawing will be conducted on or about September 30, 2026; Sponsor's decisions are final and binding on all matters relating to the Giveaway. Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received.
The potential winner will be notified by telephone, email, and/or mail within three (3) business days of the drawing. The potential winner may be required to sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability Release, and (where lawful) a Publicity Release within five (5) business days of the notification attempt, and to provide valid government-issued photo identification confirming they are 21 years of age or older. As part of this process, the potential winner will be asked to select one (1) of the three trip options described in Section 5. If a potential winner cannot be reached, fails to timely respond, fails to return required documents, fails to timely select a trip option, is found ineligible, or does not comply with these Official Rules, they may be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected from the remaining eligible entries, time permitting.
