To enter, listen to WPOI-FM “Hot 101.5” to hear the cue to call. Every weekday during the Sweepstakes Period, during the 9:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m., and 5:00 p.m. EST hour of broadcasting, Sponsor will play the cue to call (the “Cue”). When you hear the Cue, call Sponsor’s Sweepstakes Line at (877) 999-1015 to try to be the 20th caller. Subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules, the 20th person to call Sponsor’s Sweepstakes Line after the Cue has been played, as solely determined by Sponsor, will become a potential winner. The determinations of Sponsor and Sweepstakes operators will be final and binding in all respects.

Three (3) Cues will be announced per weekday during the Sweepstakes Period, for a maximum of three (3) daily winners.

Bonus Zip Code

In the event the selected 20th caller for the Cue resides in the announced accompanying Bonus Zip Code, the caller will be the potential winner of the Bonus Zip Code prize. For example, if on February 5, the Bonus Zip Code is 33701 and the Cue for the Bonus Zip Code is 5:00 p.m., then if the 20th caller for the 5:00 p.m. Cue resides in zip code 33701, the caller will win the prize for being the Daily Prize and the Bonus Zip Code Prize.

However, Sponsor cannot be responsible for delays in electronic transmission of station audio to IP devices. By entering the Sweepstakes, listeners acknowledge and agree to this specific provision of these Sweepstakes Rules. In addition, Sponsor will not be responsible for loss of service to a Sweepstakes Line or for a participant’s failure to reach a Sweepstakes 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 a Sweepstakes prior to accepting the correct 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 prizes awarded in the Sweepstakes will be reduced accordingly. If the correct caller is ineligible, or fails to comply with any term of condition of these Official Rules, that caller will be disqualified, and Sponsor will resume the call-in opportunity and declare the next caller a winner, pending verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules.

Any winning contestant must be the same person who originally dialed the phone to the radio station to participate in a Sweepstakes.

If a participant uses a false name on any ID submitted as proof of identification, he or she will be immediately disqualified from the Sweepstakes and be ineligible to win any prize.

Telephone calls will be taken by Sweepstakes operators in the order they are received, and the operators will count the number of calls received after each on-air Sweepstakes cue to call to determine the correct caller. The determinations of Sponsor and Sweepstakes operators will be final and binding in all respects.

In the event a caller gets disconnected for any reason before being declared a winner, Sponsor may resume the call-in opportunity affected and declare the next caller a winner, 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 winner’s disqualification and forfeiture of all interest in any prize. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any entries by persons who submit false or misleading entry information or who Sponsor determines to be tampering with or abusing any aspect of the Sweepstakes.
