In the event that the participation meets all requirements, the winner will be contacted via private message on the “EPA Costa Rica” Facebook page and will have a period of two (2) business days once the message is sent to report back and send their personal data (full name, identification number, phone number, etc.), in order to contact the favored winner by phone within a maximum period of three (3) business days.
