A winner of a Station contest within the ninety (90) days preceding the start of the Contest Period (including any individuals designated by such winners to take ownership of prizes) and individuals domiciled with such a winner are ineligible to enter and may be disqualified.

The Contest Organizer has sole discretion to determine if an entry meets the Contest requirements and otherwise complies with the Contest Rules.

 

Limit one (1) entry per individual per Trivia Question. If it is discovered that an individual has attempted to enter more than once per Trivia Question, whether using falsified information, fraudulent conduct, or other means, all of the individual’s entries will be void and a police report will be filed documenting the conduct.
