Love at first bite

Eli’s has played an important part in many love stories, from  requesting a “Will you marry me?” inscription on an Eli’s Cheesecake to shipping layers of cheesecake to a New York bride for her wedding cake (she got hooked on Eli’s while working in Chicago). In celebration of Valentine’s Day, Eli’s is inviting you to submit your cheesecake love story below (in 200 words or less) for a chance to receive an Eli’s Cheesecake once a month for an entire year! 

Enter by 11:59pm on 2/12/25.

OFFICIAL SWEEPSTAKES RULES

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN

This sweepstakes promotion is sponsored by The Eli’s Cheesecake Company of 6701 W. Forest Preserve Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60634 (“Eli’s Cheesecake”), and is subject to these official sweepstakes rules.

As part of our celebration for Valentine’s Day 2025, Eli’s Cheesecake presents this Love at First Bite: Win a Year of Eli’s Cheesecake sweepstakes. Eligible participants will be entered into a random drawing to win a one-year supply of Eli’s Cheesecake (one Eli’s Cheesecake delivered to your door each month for a year, for a total of 12 cheesecakes).

WHO MAY ENTER: This sweepstakes is open to all legal residents of the United States, with the exception of Rhode Island, who are 18 years of age or older. Void were prohibited by law. Employees of Eli’s Cheesecake, its affiliates, and their immediate families and household members, are not eligible to participate. Only one entry per person.

HOW TO ENTER: The sweepstakes is scheduled to begin on January 29, 2025, and ends on February 12, 2025 at 11:59 PM Central Time (CT). No purchase is necessary to enter or win. A purchase will not increase your chances of winning. To enter, eligible participants must submit the above form with their contact information entered as indicated. The entry must not, in the sole discretion of Eli’s Cheesecake, contain obscene, provocative, defamatory, sexually explicit, or otherwise objectionable or inappropriate content. To enter, you may also be required to verify that you are a human and not a machine through use of a challenge-response test (sometimes called a CAPTCHA) or similar mechanism. Eli’s Cheesecake is not responsible for late, lost, incomplete, inaccurate, illegible, mistyped, or misdirected entries or entries not received for any reason (including technical failure), and any such entries are void. By submitting an entry, each participant agrees to be bound by the official sweepstakes rules. Each participating entrant warrants that his or her entry complies with the official sweepstakes rules.

PRIZE AND RETAIL VALUE: There will be one prize awarded to one winner: One Eli’s cheesecake sent anywhere in the continental United States each month for 12 consecutive months, for a total of 12 Eli’s cheesecakes. Each cheesecake delivered monthly to the winner during these 12 months will be shipped frozen, packaged with dry ice in a protective container. Cheesecake flavors may vary. The approximate retail value of this prize is $639. No prize transfer, assignment, or substitution by the winner is permitted. If a prize (or part of a prize) becomes unavailable, Eli’s Cheesecake, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to substitute with an alternative prize of similar specification and equal or greater monetary value. All prizes will be shipped to the same address.

WINNER SELECTION AND QUALIFICATION: The winner will be selected in a random drawing to be conducted by Eli’s Cheesecake employees on or about February 13, 2025. In the event that a winning entry is selected that does not comply with these official sweepstakes rules, the noncompliant entry will be void, and an alternate winner will be randomly drawn. This process will continue until the prize is awarded. Eli’s Cheesecake will award the prize to the first eligible and compliant entry it selects. The decision of Eli’s Cheesecake is final in all respects.

WINNER NOTIFICATION AND ANNOUNCEMENT: The winner will be notified by email or telephone, and must meet all eligibility requirements. The winner’s name will be announced in the Eli’s Cheesecake company website, and may also appear on Eli’s Cheesecake’s Facebook and Instagram social media accounts. By entering this Sweepstakes, the winner gives Eli’s Cheesecake the right to use their name and submitted image on any form of media, including, but not limited to Eli’s Cheesecake’s website, Facebook, and Instagram.

ODDS OF WINNING: The odds of being chosen the single winner of this sweepstakes will depend on the number of eligible entries received.
