Purchases made through the App at a McDonald’s restaurant not located inside a Walmart store are not eligible to receive an entry into this Contest. The App provides customers with various weekly food discounts or other food-related offers, nutrition information and benefits. The food discounts and other food-related offers may vary in content and number in different regions of Canada. In these Official Rules the food discounts and other food-related offers, are referred to individually as an “Offer” or “Deal” and collectively as “Offers” or “Deals”.
