DREAM DRIVE COMPETITION
- A Dream Drive Competition involves using your skill to select a pixel closest to that chosen by a panel of Judges in the skill-based game.
- Entries (tickets) for the Dream Drive Competition are subject to the following conditions:
- Entry and single account limit: Entries are limited to one hundred (100) tickets per person, per Competition, excluding any Free Dream Drive Issued Tickets.
- Abuse of Limit: Abuse of this limit, such as entering a Competition using multiple accounts, will not be tolerated. If the Promoter has grounds to believe that an individual is exceeding this limit, it reserves the right, at its sole discretion:
- to void any orders;
- to void any Dream Drive Credit or prize won;
- to award any prize to the next closest entrant;
- to void any tickets without notice, firstly on a chronological basis with respect to orders, and thereafter on a sequential basis with respect to ticket references contained within an order;
- to void any tickets exceeding the first 100 paid tickets entered into the Competition.
-
Free Dream Drive Tickets:
- Free Dream Drive Tickets may be offered as part of Dream Drive's Loyalty program.
- These tickets do not count towards the limit of one hundred (100) entries per person, per Competition.
- Participants are responsible for monitoring their entries and ensuring compliance with the specified entry limits. Any breach of these limits may result in disqualification, voiding of orders, Dream Drive Credit, or prize awards.
-
COMPETITION PERIODS
- Details regarding the start and end dates of each Competition period ("Competition Period") will be specified by the Promoter on the Website, and by purchasing a ticket and entering the Competition, you agree to these dates.
-
COMPETITION JUDGMENT
- After each Competition concludes, the position of the centre of the ball will be determined by our independent panel of judges – experts in the field of football (soccer) appointed by Dream Drive (the "Judges"). The Judges' determination of the position of the centre of the ball ("Judges' Position") will be made using their football (soccer) and other expertise and the process is overseen by a qualified legal expert appointed by Dream Drive and a representative from Dream Drive.
- Within forty-eight (48) hours of a Competition's end, the Judge's Position will be compared against the database of coordinates for that competition. This mathematical process determines which valid and eligible entry is closest to the Judge's Position, thereby identifying the winning Participant (the "First Prize Winner"). The First Prize Winner is the person who correctly identifies the Judge's Position or, if no one correctly chooses the same pixel, the Participant who is closest to the pixel. The distance is measured by calculating the straight-line distance from each valid and eligible entry to the Judge's Position ("Distance").
-
Tie-Break Mechanism: In the event that two or more valid and eligible entries are equally close to, or exactly match, the Judges' Position (each a "Tie-Break Entry"), the following structured process will apply to determine a single First Prize Winner.
-
Step 1: Additional Entries Comparison (if applicable)
If all of the Participants involved in the tie-break have made two or more entries into the same Competition:
- All other entries made by each relevant Participant (excluding the Tie-Break Entry) will be reviewed and ranked based on their proximity to the Judged Position.
- The Participant with the closest next-best entry will be provisionally placed in the lead.
- If this also results in a tie, the comparison will continue using each Participant's next closest entry, in descending order of proximity.
- This continues until a clear winner emerges or until one or more Participants no longer have any entries remaining for comparison.
- There is no requirement for all Participants to have submitted the same number of entries.
-
Step 2: Expert Review (Judges' Decision)
If the tie remains unresolved - either because all other entries have been exhausted or because Participants submitted only one entry - then:
- The tied entries will be reviewed again by the original Judges.
- The Judges will assess the image context (including body language, eyelines, posture, and sporting logic) and select the entry they believe most accurately reflects the correct coordinate.
- This decision will be made via a simple majority vote, and the Judges' decision at this stage is final and binding.
-
Step 3: Sudden Death Challenge (New Spot the Ball Round)
If the Judges are unable to agree on a winner during the expert review process (e.g., a tie in votes), then:
- All tied Participants will be invited to complete a new Spot the Ball challenge using a different image.
- This new image will be judged under the same terms as the original, with no further payment required.
- If a tie still results after this round, the process may be repeated using new images until a single winner is determined.
- If a tied Participant cannot be reached within 72 hours of first contact, they will forfeit their place in the tie-break process and the challenge will proceed with the remaining Participants.
-
Runner-Up Recognition
- At the sole discretion of Dream Drive, tied entrants who do not ultimately win may be awarded a runner-up prize (explicitly not a vehicle) or Dream Drive Credit as a token of recognition for reaching the final stage.

Step 1: Additional Entries Comparison (if applicable)
-
WINNERS DETAILS
- Dream Drive takes the verification of winners ("Winners") seriously. To confirm their identity, age, and ownership or authorization to use the credit card used for the purchase of tickets, Winners will be required to submit a copy of their South African Identity Document or passport to Dream Drive before any prize is paid or delivered. Failure to fulfil these obligations may result in disqualification, and Dream Drive reserves the right to choose an alternate winner.
- In addition to verification requirements, all Winners will be asked to provide photographs and/or pose for photographs and videos. These media may be utilized in future marketing and public relations efforts by Dream Drive, highlighting the Winners and their achievements in connection with the competition. Winners have the right to refuse to do so.
- After the Promoter receives and verifies the necessary details, the Winners will be contacted to arrange the delivery of the prize. At this stage, Winners must choose from the available prizes, as outlined in the Competition prize information on the Dream Drive website. The chosen prize must be communicated to Dream Drive in writing.
- Surprise Contact Details: In the account settings, you have the option to add the contact details of an individual whom Dream Drive can contact to assist with surprise arrangements if you are a Winner. Dream Drive guarantees not to share or process these contact details for any other purpose without explicit consent.

COMPETITION PRIZES
- A Competition depicts various cars, but after each Competition Period only one principal prize will be awarded for each Competition ("First Prize"). For the avoidance of doubt, not all of the cars featured are given away at the end of each Competition Period, but only the car that is linked to the ticket that is closest to the Judges' position, as determined and outlined above. Prizes other than the First Prize may also be awarded to runners-up in the sole discretion of the Promoter.
- During a Dream Drive Competition, if circumstances beyond Dream Drive's control prevent the delivery of the stated First Prize, Dream Drive has and reserves the right to award a substitute car of equal or greater value.

Bespoke options and upgrades can be added at the First Prize Winner's request, but the cost of such options and upgrades must be paid for in advance by the First Prize Winner.
- In South Africa, the First Prize will be delivered with South African VAT paid.
- The maximum value that Dream Drive will be liable to pay for or towards any First Prize is the South African Recommended Retail Price of the First Prize as advertised on our website, and any amounts over and above that will be for the account of the First Prize Winner. Dream Drive will only transact with manufacturer-recommended principal dealers.
- For Competitions featuring vehicles within the "Classic Icons" range, which refers to a curated selection of collectible and iconic cars that are acquired pre-owned, the prize shall be limited to sourcing a model reasonably equivalent to the one listed, with the total value not exceeding the Retail Price as advertised at the time of entry. Due to the nature of sourcing vintage vehicles, the specific car delivered may differ in exact specification.
- Dream Drive Competition Cash Alternative: If a Dream Drive Competition Winner prefers not to take delivery of one of the First Prizes, the Dream Drive Competition Cash Alternative can be claimed. The Cash Alternative is 80% of the stated market value of the car(s) (rounded to the nearest R1,000. The delivery of the Cash Alternative will be paid to the winner within 6 months of election of the Cash Alternative.
- Runners Up Prizes: Runners Up may each be awarded other tangible items (explicitly not a vehicle) or Dream Miles for Dream Drive Competitions run by Dream Drive at the discretion of the Promoter.
