1. (1) The statement of odds of winning in arabic numerals; provided that if the odds of winning depend on the number of entries received, a statement to that effect will be deemed sufficient;

2. (2) The name and address of the sponsor, or the sponsor’s agent, consistently stated wherever it is used in a promotion, and:

   1. (a) The name and address of the sponsor, or the sponsor’s agent, stated on the envelope used to mail the advertisement or solicitation; or
   2. (b) The name and address of the sponsor, or the sponsor’s agent, stated on the entry form or on the heading to the solicitation; and
3. (3) The rules for entry without purchase.
