If you or a member of your household has won a prize from any CMG-Atlanta radio station within the last sixty (60) days, you will be ineligible to receive a prize in this Contest.
3. How To Enter. The Contest will begin at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time (E.T.) on Monday, June 8, 2015 and end at 9:00 a.m. E.T. on Friday, June 12, 2015 (the “Contest Period”). Sponsor will be the official timekeeper for the Contest.
To enter, listen to Sponsor’s radio broadcast on 97.1 The River (the “Broadcast”) every day during the Contest Period (each, a “Contest Day”). Each Contest Day at approximately 8:00 a.m. E.T., Sponsor will give a “Cue to Call” telling potential entrants to call in for a chance to win. When you hear the Cue to Call, call Sponsor’s “Contest Line” at 404-741-9797 to try to be the 25th caller. Subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules, the 25th person to call Sponsor’s Contest Line, as solely determined by Sponsor, will become a Finalist.
To qualify as a Finalist in this Contest, (a) you must be listening to 97.1 The River at the time the Cue to Call announcement is broadcast; (b) you must be declared by Sponsor to be the 25th person to call Sponsor’s Contest Line; and (c) you must comply with all other terms and conditions of these Official Rules. Telephone calls will be taken by Contest operators in the order they are received, and the operators will count the number of calls received after each on-air Contest announcement to determine the 25th caller. The determinations of Sponsor and Contest operators will be final and binding in all respects.
Enter as often as you like, provided that automatic telephone dialing equipment or other software or computer assisted dialing equipment is prohibited and will result in disqualification.
Any winning Finalist must be the same person who originally called the Contest Line. No family members, friends, office associates, or any other person will be allowed to participate in the Contest on another person's behalf. A Finalist must provide his or her own name as listed on his or her valid Georgia driver’s license or Georgia state-issued ID (or other proof of Georgia residency, such as a copy of a utility bill). If a Finalist uses a false name on any ID submitted as proof of identification, he or she will be immediately disqualified from the Contest and be ineligible to win any prize.
Listeners accessing Sponsor’s radio station audio via IP connections like website-based streaming or mobile devices are welcome to enter. However, Sponsor cannot be responsible for delays in electronic transmission of station audio to IP devices. By entering this Contest, listeners acknowledge and agree to this specific provision of these Official Rules. In addition, Sponsor will not be responsible for loss of service to the Contest Line or for a participant’s failure to reach the Contest Line due to malfunction of any network or system, congestion, any technical or human error, failures or malfunctions of any kind, including the congestion, overload, busy signals, or any other factor that may prevent an individual from completing his/her phone call. In the event of interruption of power or telephone service to Sponsor during a call-in period of the Contest prior to accepting the 25th caller, or a change in programming that results in Sponsor’s inability to air a call-in opportunity, Sponsor will not replay the affected call-in opportunity and the number of opportunities to win a prize in this Contest will be reduced accordingly.
If a 25th caller is ineligible or fails to comply with any term or condition of these Official Rules, that caller will be disqualified, and Sponsor will resume the call-in opportunity and declare the next caller a Finalist, pending verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules.
In the event a 25th caller gets disconnected for any reason before being declared a Finalist, Sponsor may resume the call-in opportunity affected and declare the next caller a Finalist, pending verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules. Sponsor will not be responsible for dropped calls from mobile devices or land lines and dropped calls may result in a potential Finalist's disqualification and forfeiture of all interest in any prize.
4. Winner Selection and Odds.
Five (5) Finalists will be selected during the Contest Period. The odds of becoming a Finalist depend on the total number of people attempting to call the Contest Line when the Cue to Call is given and the order in which the calls are received.
