Contest Rules

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCE OF WINNING.

Unless otherwise specified by WRIL-FM, these rules cover routine contest and promotions conducted by the station.  These rules may be amended by separate specific rules for major contest or promotions conducted by the station.

​

The contest or promotion (the “Promotion”) will take place during the dates and times specified in the official rules of the promotion (the “Promotion Period”) or as announced on-air.  The station may change the dates and/or terms of the promotion without prior notice. Any material changes will be broadcast on the station and, if applicable, posted on its website located at http://www.thebig1063.com

Promotions conducted on-air that require telephone responses to “cues to call” are only official when heard on-air via radio.  Due to delays with the stations online streaming of its broadcast signal, listeners to the online stream may not be able to participate in or be disadvantaged in participating in certain promotions.

​

“Chance to Win Online” listeners to the Station web stream may experience a reception delay of up to one minute. Listening to the station’s over-the-air broadcast is the best way to participate in this contest. Winner qualification is subject to FULL phone call completion, and the verification of the caller’s name, address, home phone number, work/cell phone number and social security number, all of which must be provided prior to completion of the call. Contest calls will not be accepted at any other number. All contest entries will become the property of Simply Local Broadcasting and will not be acknowledged or returned.

​

To be eligible to enter or participate in the promotion, listeners must follow the instructions set forth in the official rules of the promotion or as announced on-air and must fulfill all of the eligibility requirements of the promotion.  Unless otherwise specified, the promotion is open to all listeners of the station who are legal U.S. residents, 18 years of age or older and who live in Kentucky, Tennessee or Virginia. Listeners are eligible to win “material prize” (“material prize” is any prize valued at $50 or more of tickets individually valued at $25 or more) in a promotion conducted by the station only once every thirty (30) days, and listeners are eligible to win a prize in a promotion conducted by the station only once every one (1) year if the prize is valued over $600.  Only one winner per household is permitted in any station conducted promotion.  For on-air promotions, there is no limit to the number of times a listener may attempt to call-in or text; however a listener may only qualify once.

Entrants are required to provide truthful information and the station will reject and delete any entry that it discovers to be false or fraudulent.  The station will disqualify any entry from individuals who do not meet the eligibility requirements, and the station will also delete any online entry knowingly received from persons under the age of 13 in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act.
