Why this grade

Hallmark Media United States, LLC. Official rules we opened state NPN; free daily website form. Grand Prize ARV $9,152.14 and total ARV $20,091.31 are itemized. Grade is B not higher because the July 2026 window is closed, 21+, no mail AMOE in those rules, and extra entries ran through newsletter/SMS opt-ins.
