Persons belonging to or affiliated with a professional acting, theater, or film-making organization, such as SAG or AFTRA, are not allowed to compete in the Sweepstakes or participate in any entry. Professional actors and filmmakers, whether full-time or part-time, are allowed to compete so long as they do not belong to any professional organizations connected with the entertainment industry that would cause Sponsor to pay the entrant or any other person a fee or any other benefit for taking part in any Sweepstakes event.

Limit: Only one (1) prize winner may be selected from the same household every thirty (30) days in connection with any Sweepstakes sponsored or administered by any of the CMG Dayton radio or television stations (each, a “Station”). If you or a member of your household has won a prize from any Station within the last thirty (30) days, you will be ineligible to receive a prize in this Sweepstakes.

2. Sweepstakes Period. The Sweepstakes will begin on or about 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time (”ET) on March 12, 2023, and ends on or about 11:59 p.m. ET on March 16th, 2023, at the latest (the “Sweepstakes Period”).

Sponsor will be the official timekeeper for the Sweepstakes.

3. How To Enter. During the Sweepstakes Period, entrants can enter the Sweepstakes each week by taking the following steps:

i. Watch WHIO-TV each Sunday at 11:30 a.m. ET to 12:00 p.m. ET during the Sweepstakes Period and listen for the trivia question (the “Question”);

ii. Submit the correct answer to the Question at www.WHIO.com/whio-radio/contests, complete all of the required information, and follow all posted instructions.

Entrants must complete the official entry for each applicable week’s Question before 11:59 p.m. ET on the Wednesday immediately following the Sunday on which the Question was asked. Subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official rules, each entrant who submits the correct answer to the Question (“Weekly Qualifier”) will be entered into a random drawing for such week during the Sweepstakes Period (each, a “Weekly Drawing”) for the chance to be selected as the potential “Weekly Winner” (as defined below). For the purposes of these Official Rules, a week is defined as Sunday to Saturday. The correct answer to each week’s Question will be determined in Sponsor’s sole discretion.

If there are no Weekly Qualifiers for a given week, then all such entrants for such week will be entered into such week’s Weekly Drawing.

Limit: Maximum one (1) entry per person per email address for each Weekly Drawing. An entrant can only be a Weekly Winner once every thirty (30) days during the Sweepstakes Period.

By participating in the Sweepstakes, you agree to be bound by Sponsor’s Visitor Agreement (www.whio.com/visitor-agreement) and Privacy Policy (www.whio.com/privacy-policy) and the terms and conditions governing the use of the App, as applicable, which are hereby incorporated by reference.

Any winning entrant must be the same person who originally submitted the entry to participate in the Sweepstakes. No family members, friends, office associates, or any other person will be allowed to participate in a Sweepstakes on another person’s behalf. An entrant must provide his or her own name as listed on his or her valid Ohio or Indiana driver’s license or Ohio or Indiana state-issued ID (or other proof of Ohio or Indiana residency, such as a copy of a utility bill). 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.

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. In the event of a dispute, an Entry will be declared made by the authorized account holder of the account from which the entry was sent. “Authorized account holder” is defined as the natural person who is assigned to a telephone number or other identifier automatically associated with the entry by a wireless service provider that is responsible for assigning the same. The use of multiple identities and/or accounts is prohibited, and any attempt to obtain more than the stated number of entries will void that participant’s entries and may result in participant’s disqualification.

The use of multiple identities and/or accounts is prohibited, and any attempt to obtain more than the stated number of entries will void that participant’s entries and may result in participant’s disqualification. Incomplete, forged, altered, automated, mechanically reproduced, lost, late, misdirected, garbled, or illegible entries, or entries that do not meet the size or formatting requirements specified above, will be disqualified. Sponsor will not be responsible for failure to receive entries due to transmission failures or technical failures of any kind, including, without limitation, malfunctioning of any network, hardware or software, whether originating with sender, Sponsor, or Sponsor’s Sweepstakes application service provider. In the event of a dispute, all online entries will be deemed to have been submitted by the owner of the ISP account from which they were sent, provided that such person satisfies all other Sweepstakes eligibility requirements. For these purposes, an ISP account holder shall mean the natural person assigned to such ISP account by the Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning ISP addresses for the domain associated with such ISP account.

All entries become property of Sponsor and none will be returned. Any questions regarding the number of entries submitted or the owner of an ISP account shall be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, and 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.

4. Winner Selection and Odds.

On or about the Thursday following the Question asked each week of the Sweepstakes period, Sponsor will select one (1) potential Weekly Winner from among all eligible Weekly Qualifiers in a random drawing (the “Weekly Winner”) (i.e., the Weekly Drawing for a Question asked on Sunday, September 11 will take place on Thursday, September 15). An entrant can only be a Weekly Winner once every thirty (30) days during the Sweepstakes Period. Odds of becoming the Weekly Winner vary based on the number of entrants.

5. Prize Description.

Weekly Winner Prizes: Subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules and qualifications, up to five (5) Weekly Winners will each receive:

- One (1) $25 gift card to Fricker’s Restaurants.

The Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) of each weekly qualifier prize: $25

Gift card subject to terms and conditions of gift card issuer.

Limit: One (1) prize per person and per household during the Sweepstakes Period.

6. Winner Notification and Acceptance. Potential Weekly Winners will be selected and notified on or about the Thursday following each week of the Sweepstakes Period at the email address or phone number provided by entrant.

Unless otherwise advised by Sponsor, to claim his/her prize, the potential winner must personally visit Sponsor’s offices at 1611 S. Main St., Dayton, OH 45409, within twenty-four (24) hours after notification (office visits must be between the hours of 9:00 a.m. EST and 5:00 p.m. EST, weekdays) and must present a valid government-issued photo ID.

Potential winners may be required to complete an affidavit of eligibility, and a liability and publicity release (except where prohibited by law), which must be notarized and returned within twenty-four (24) hours of notification and a written commitment to be awarded the prizing.

Sponsor’s inability to reach a potential Weekly Winner or Grand Prize winner after a reasonable (as determined solely by Sponsor) effort has been made, the failure of a potential Finalist to timely respond to a prize notification, the return of any prize notification as undeliverable and/or a potential winner’s failure to comply with any term or condition of these Official Rules may, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, result in the potential Finalist’s disqualification and the selection of a substitute Finalist by a random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period. Sponsor will conduct up to three alternate drawings, after which the prize will remain un-awarded.

AN ENTRANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE UNLESS AND UNTIL SPONSOR HAS COMPLETED ITS VERIFICATION OF ENTRANT’S ELIGIBILITY AND COMPLIANCE WITH THESE OFFICIAL RULES.

A winner may waive the right to receive a prize. Prizes are non-assignable and nontransferable and cannot be redeemed for cash. No substitutions allowed by winner.
