How to Win

 

4.   On or about 5pm EST on Thursday during a Contest, Station will randomly select three entrants (“Semi-Finalists”) from among that Contest’s entrants and will call each Semi-Finalist to inform them they are one of three names in the drawing for following morning at 7:40am.  Station will only be required to make one call to each Semi-Finalist at the number provided on their entry form.  Notification may be made by message on the Finalist’s answering machine, with no responsibility for any failure of or lack of an answering machine/voicemail service. Station also reserves the right (but is not obligated) to attempt to contact a selected Semi-Finalist on more than one occasion or at more than the phone number listed but will NOT be required to contact all selected Semi-Finalists the same number of times or in the same number of ways.

 

5.   On or about 7:10am EST on each Friday following the close of entry of each Contest, Station will randomly select one entrant from the three selected Semi-Finalist and announce his/her name and town on-air (“Finalist”). The named Finalist will then have ten (10) minutes and twenty-five (:25) seconds to personally call the Station Contest Line at (716) 644-1025 immediately following the first announcement of his/her name.  If the Finalist personally calls (716) 644-1025 within that ten (10) minutes and twenty-five (:25) second deadline, he/she shall be named the grand prize winner (the “Winner”) of the Contest, subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these rules.  The Winner must be the actual member who entered the Contest.  Persons merely with the same name shall not be eligible to win on behalf of themselves or the named entrant.

 

6.   The 10 minute 25 second countdown begins immediately following the first announcement of the Finalist’s name.  Station reserves the right to announce the Finalist’s name no more than three times in the 10 minutes 25 second time period immediately following the initial announcement.  If the Finalist does not call the designated telephone number within the 10 minute 25 second time frame immediately following the first announcement of their name, he/she will not be eligible to win any prize in this contest.

7.   If an announced Finalist does not win, Station will then randomly select one of the remaining Semi-Finalists and repeat the process.  If that second Finalist does not win (as described by Sections 5 & 6, above), Station will then select the last remaining Semi-Finalist Qualifier and repeat the process.   If the third announced Finalist does not call back as required, the Contest will immediately end (and no prize will be awarded).

 

8.   Only calls received to the Station Contest Line at (716) 644-1025 are eligible to win.
