1. No purchase is necessary to enter or win.  A purchase will not increase your chance of winning.  Void where prohibited.  All federal, state, and local regulations apply.
2. Eligibility.  This Nationwide Contest is open only to individuals who are (a) legal U.S. residents of the 50 contiguous states of the United States, (b) who are age eighteen (18) or older (nineteen (19) in Alabama and twenty-one (21) in Mississippi) at the time of entry with a valid Social Security number, and (c) who reside in any participating Station’s Designated Market Area (“DMA”) as defined by Nielsen Audio and listed in Exhibit A (each a “Participating Station” and collectively “Participating Stations”).   Employees of the Participating Stations, Cumulus Media New Holdings, Inc., its parent company, affiliates, subsidiaries, prize providers, advertising agencies, other radio stations serving a Participating Station’s DMA, local sponsors and local sponsors’ employees of this Contest tied with a Participating Station, and the immediate family members and household members of all such employees are not eligible to participate. The term “immediate family members” includes spouses, parents and step-parents, siblings and step-siblings, and children and stepchildren.  The term “household members” refers to people who share the same residence at least three (3) months out of the year. The Contest is subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. Participation constitutes participant’s full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules and Station’s decisions, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Contest. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein. 
3. Contest Period.  The Contest will begin at or around 8:00 a.m., ET on Monday, March 28, 2022 and will run through 11:59 p.m., ET on Friday, April 29, 2022, weekdays only (Monday through Friday), excluding weekends (the “Contest Period”).  The Station’s computer located in the Eastern Time Zone in Atlanta, Georgia is the official time keeping device for this Contest.
4. To Enter: Entering this Contest is a two (2) step process.  Listen to a Participating Station for the Secret Keyword to be announced and then timely submit the correctly-spelled Secret Keyword using one (1) of the methods listed below during each Contest Round to receive one (1) entry into the corresponding Contest Round: 

            Step One:  Tune into and listen to a Participating Station, weekdays during the Contest Period.  A Participating Station may announce up to, but not more than ten (10) different Secret Keywords per each weekday during the Contest Period (each a “Contest Round”), once per hour, at approximately the top of the hour, from 8:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. (including within the 5:00 p.m. hour), local time where a Participating Station is physically located except on April 15, 2022, WNAM-AM in Appleton, WI will announce the Contest Round 6/1:00pm Secret Keyword with the Contest Round 5/12:00pm CT Secret Keyword and the Contest Round 7/2:00pm Secret Keyword with the Contest Round 8/3:00pm CT Secret Keyword.

ALL CONTEST TIMES ARE APPROXIMATE, AND ALL CONTEST TIMES ARE LOCAL PARTICIPATING STATION TIME WHERE A PARTICIPATING STATION IS PHYSICALLY LOCATED, REGARDLESS OF THE TIME ZONE.

If a Participating Station chooses to participate in a Contest Round such Participating Station will announce one (1) Secret Keyword during each of the possible ten (10) Contest Rounds each weekday except as otherwise provided in these Official Rules.  Meaning, there could be up to a total of ten (10) different Secret Keywords announced during each weekday during the Contest Period.  The Secret Keyword announced during a particular Contest Round will be the same Secret Keyword announced on all Participating Stations nationwide during that same Contest Round, regardless of the actual time or the time zone where the Secret Keyword is actually announced.  By way of example, and not of limitation, the Secret Keyword that is announced for Contest Round 1 at or around 8:00 a.m. ET for those Participating Stations located in the Eastern Time Zone will be the same Secret Keyword that is announced during Contest Round 1 for the those Participating Stations at or around 8:00a.m. MT who are located in the Mountain Time Zone. 

            Step Two:  Listeners may either (i) text in an entry into a particular Contest Round to short code 95819 using a mobile device or (ii) enter via the Free Alternative Method of Entry, but not both methods.  Limit One (1) Entry per person/telephone number/email address per Contest Round, regardless of the method of entry chosen by a listener.  Entry by sending a text message will not improve your chance of winning.

            (i) Text Entry Method.  When listeners hear the Secret Keyword for a particular Contest Round, participants should send a text message with the correct Secret Keyword  to short code 95819 (the one (1) correctly texted Secret Keyword is an “Entry” and collectively, “Entries”).  All Secret Keywords for all Contest Rounds (up to ten (10) entries per weekday during the Contest Period) must be correctly spelled and received into the texting system no later than 11:59 p.m. ET on the same weekday that the Secret Keyword was announced, to be eligible to win a particular Contest Round’s Hourly Prize.   Incorrect, misspelled, late, and/or texting system rejected entries will not be entered to win.  The text messaging method of entry is designed to work with most of the United States major wireless carriers, but the Station makes no guarantee that any particular wireless service provider will participate or that a wireless carrier’s texting service will timely or accurately deliver the text message via the short code.

OR

            (ii) Free Alternative Method of Entry. To enter a Contest Round without sending a text message during a designated a Contest Round, timely visit the website http://cumulus.wmclientservices.com and fully complete the Entry Form by (a) correctly typing in the Secret Keyword for one (1) of the ten (10) Secret Keywords announced during that weekday, (b) including a telephone number (cell phone or landline), including area code, and (c) timely submitting up to ten (10) Secret Keyword(s) announced during that particular weekday.  You must successfully submit the Secret Keyword(s) correctly spelled and your complete and accurate registration information no later than 11:59 p.m. ET on the same weekday that the Secret Keyword was announced to receive a valid entry. Incorrect, misspelled, late, and/or system rejected entries due to any technical misfunction will not be entered to win.    

Limit One (1) Entry per person/telephone number/email address per Contest Round per day, regardless of which method of entry is used and regardless of how many email addresses and/or telephone numbers a person may possess and use, as outlined above. 

Texting in the Entry will not improve a Participant’s chances of winning.

            Additional Details Regarding Entering the Contest

a.         Listeners may participate up to ten (10) times each weekday, per telephone number/email address, during the Contest Period, but only once (one (1) time) per Contest Round, regardless of the entry method used by Participant and regardless of how many email addresses and/or telephone numbers any Listener may have and/or use.  Each Participating Station, as outlined at the end of these Contest Rules in Exhibit A, will qualify participants up to ten (10) times per weekday during the Contest Period.  Listeners are allowed to text in or email, but not both, once per each of the Contest Rounds, up to ten (10) separate Contest Rounds each weekday, for a total of up to ten (10) Entries per weekday (Monday through Friday) per person during the Contest Period (.  The one (1) Hourly Prize Winner will be chosen from all cumulative entries who correctly text in and all entries who enter via the free alternative method of entry to a particular Contest Round across the country, from all Participating Stations who participate in a particular Contest Round, and whose text or completed entry form, if entering via the free alternative method of entry, is received no later than 11:59 p.m. ET on the same weekday that a specific Secret Keyword is announced. The maximum amount of correct entries possible from a single person/telephone number/email address, per Contest Round is limited to One (1) Entry per person per Contest Round, regardless of the method of entry and regardless of how many email addresses and/or telephone numbers a person may possess and use.  Therefore, multiple entries of the same Secret Keyword via text and/or the free alternative method of entry will not increase the chances of winning. 

b.         Contest Round Times May Vary.  Actual Contest Round start times may vary.  Individual Participating Stations may first announce a Secret Keyword as early as five (5) minutes before the top of the hour and as late as fifteen (15) minutes past the top of the hour.

c.         regardless of the actual time(s) at which any participating station announces a secret keyword, entries for a particular contest round will only be accepted from as early as five (5) minutes before the designated contest time as listed in Exhibit A, and as late as 11:59 p.m. ET that SAME weekday that a specific Secret Keyword is announced.

d.         May Announce Only Once or More Than Once.  A Participating Station may, but is not obligated to, announce a particular Secret Keyword more than once; provided however, the number of times in which any Participating Station may announce a Secret Keyword in any Contest Round may vary by individual Participating Station(s) and/or by subsequent Contest Round(s) on that same Participating Station.

e.         May Spell the Secret Keyword.  A Participating Station may, but is not obligated to, spell out the correct spelling of a Secret Keyword once or more than once; provided however, should a Participating Station choose to spell out a Secret Keyword during a particular Contest Round such Participating Station may vary whether or not it spells a Secret Keyword during any subsequent Contest Round(s) on that same Participating Station.          

            f.          Time Delay Between Over-the-Air Analog Signal and Internet Broadcast: Due to the time delay that exists between a Participating Station’s analog over-the-air signal and a Participating Station’s online internet based stream or app, listeners who listen to a Participating Station online or via an app may hear the Secret Keyword cue to enter later than listeners listening to a Participating Station’s analog over-the-air signal. As a result, the odds of an online listener winning a prize in this Contest may be diminished.

            g.         Bounceback Text Message.  If Participants enter a Contest Round via text messaging, a Participant may receive a bounce back text message (a response due to Participant participating via the text messaging entry method) from Station with confirmation of Contest Round entry or letting the Participant know they were not entered due to untimely or an incorrect Entry, but will receive no additional offers, information or message content. Texts to the short code or an incorrect short code may result in one or more automatic bounce back messages, for which Participants may incur a fee from Participant’s provider.

            h.         Complete and Timely Submitted Information.  Entries must contain ALL information requested, must be timely submitted, and must comply with all Content submission requirements set forth herein in order to be a valid Entry.  By participating in the Contest, participants agree that the Station may contact them via telephone at the number provided during registration or by text message, at the telephone number from which the text message entry was received.   

Standard text messaging rates, as established by an individual’s wireless carrier may apply, and Station assumes no responsibility for any fees or charges incurred for and associated with any text message sent to or from Station or from any subsequent call to any potential winners.  Any and all fees arising out of the transmission of a text message or subsequent phone calls in the case of winners shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Participant.  Multiple participants are not permitted to share the same telephone number. Any attempt by any Participant to submit more than one (1) entry per Contest Round by using multiple/different telephone numbers, identities, email addresses, or any other method will void that Participant from further participation in the Contest and future Contests.  Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. Station is not responsible for lost, late (whether due to Participant error or technical malfunction), incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, inappropriate or misdirected entries, all of which will be disqualified.  In the event of a dispute as to any Entry, the authorized account holder of the telephone number used to register will be deemed to be the one (1) and only one (1) Participant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned the telephone number by the wireless carrier.  Potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder. All entries become the sole and exclusive property of Station and will not be returned.  No mail-in entries will be accepted.

• Winner Selection.  Hourly Prizes: On the following business day after all ten (10) Contest Rounds have concluded, Station will select one (1) Entry per each Contest Round in a random drawing from among all the valid Entries cumulatively received from each of two (2) entry methods listed above from all of the up to 336 Participating Stations, as detailed on the attached Exhibit A, who will then be deemed the potential Hourly Prize Winner for that Contest Round, subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Contest Rules.  Said another way, Station will select ten (10) Hourly Winners on the following business day, one (1) Hourly Winner from each of the ten (10) Contest Rounds, from among all valid Entries cumulatively received in each of the Contest Rounds from each of the two (2) entry methods listed above from all of the up to 336 Participating Stations.
