Why this grade

Utz Quality Foods, LLC. Official rules state NPN; web form or SASE mail; UGC optional. Four monthly grand-prize packages with ARVs printed ($1,555–$2,565) plus other prizes totaling about $55,000. Not A-range because it is a seasonal merchandise drawing, void in AK/HI, one per household, and the rules warn ARVs may change. Source: utzsnacks.com 2026 official rules.
