Void where prohibited by law.  

Employees of Station, Cumulus Radio LLC, its parent company, affiliates, related entities and subsidiaries, promotional sponsors, prize providers, advertising agencies, other radio stations serving the Station’s DMA, 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 entrant’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. There may be only one (1) Qualifier (as defined below) per immediate family or household.  Should more than one (1) Qualifier per immediate family or household be present at the Grand Prize Event (as defined below), the first Qualifier will be allowed to continue in the Contest and the later Qualifier will be immediately disqualified.
  
Contest Period. The Contest will begin approximately 7:00 a.m., ET on June 17, 2024 and will run through 8:00 p.m. ET on August 28, 2024 (the “Contest Period”).  The Station’s computer is the official time keeping device for this Contest.  

How to Enter. 

To enter:  
On-Air: Listen to the Station weekdays from 7:00am to 8:00am ET, 1:00pm to 2:00pm ET, or 5:00pm to 6:00pm ET August 5 and August 23. When the Station plays the “cue-to-call” sounder, listeners should call the Station at 716-210-9797. Caller nine (9) to the Station, as determined by the Station in its sole discretion, will be entered to win. 45 listeners will be selected as finalists during the on-air portion of this contest. Time Delay Between Over-the-Air Analog Signal and Internet Broadcast: Due to the time delay that exists between the Station’s analog over the-air signal and the Station’s online webcast, listeners who listen to the Station online may hear the cue to call later than listeners listening to the Station’s analog over-the-air signal. As a result, the odds of an online listener entering this Contest on-air may be diminished.
 
(i) On-site: Attend a Station event at The Cowboy on the Lake, 3800 Hoover Road, Blasdell, NY 14219, between 6:00pm and 8:00 pm ET (each an “Event”), complete an entry form, and place it in the official “Enter to Win ATV” box. Limit one (1) entry per household for the Contest.  All entries must be received by the deadline stated at the Event to be eligible to qualify for the Grand Prize Event (as defined below).  Events will be held on the following days: 7/17/24, 7/24/24, 7/31/24, 8/7/24, 8/14/24, 8/21/24 and 8/28/24.  At the conclusion of each Event, on or around 7:45pm ET, Station will select seven (7) entries to qualify for the Grand Prize Event except on 8/28/24 when Station will select six (10) entries (each a “Qualifier”). There will be a total of ninety-seven (97) Qualifiers.  Must be present at the Event to qualify for the Grand Prize Event. Station will select the entries and call the name of the entrants. The selected entrants have three (3) minutes to check in with Station after their name is called, and register as a Qualifier for the Grand Prize Event with appropriate valid current government issued photo ID.
  
Winner Selection. All Qualifiers must attend to the Grand Prize Event at on August 28, 2024 at The Cowboy on the Lake, 3800 Hoover Road, Blasdell, NY 14219 to be eligible to win the Grand Prize. Registration will begin at 5:00p.m. ET. Qualifiers must present a valid current government issued photo ID and be in line to check-in no later than 5:45p.m. ET to be eligible to participate in the Grand Prize Event. Failure to timely check-in and/or bring a valid current government issued photo ID will lead to immediate disqualification. NO PROXIES WILL BE ALLOWED. Once checked-in, Qualifiers must remain present throughout the duration of the Grand Prize Event. Should a Qualifier leave for any reason, the Qualifier is immediately eliminated and will no longer be eligible to win the Grand Prize.     

Each eligible Qualifier will receive a badge when they check in with one (1) of twelve (12) classic rock bands labeled on the front with a number from one (1) to ninety-seven (97) assigned in the order they check-in.  Shortly after 6:00 p.m. ET, Station will conduct a reverse drawing by randomly drawing the name of one (1) of twelve (12) classic rock bands. Qualifiers with the selected band identified on their badge will be eliminated and no longer eligible to win the Grand Prize. The reverse drawing will continue eleven (11) times until only the final Qualifiers who have badges with the one (1) last rock band that remains (“Final Qualifiers”). One by one, in the order of they checked by earliest to latest with the lowest number (earliest) picking first, the Final Qualifiers who have a badge with the remaining band will then pick a sealed “97 Rock bag.”  Only one (1) bag will contain a key to the Grand Prize. The Final Qualifier who selects the bag that contains the key for the Grand Prize will be the Grand Prize winner. The Contest is over when the bag that has the key to the Grand Prize is selected. As such, there is no guarantee that each Final Qualifier will have a chance to select a bag. The number of bags given out that the Final Qualifiers can choose from will match the number of Final Qualifiers remaining after the reverse drawing at the Grand Prize Event (i.e. if five (5) Final Qualifiers remain, only 5 bags will be given out, and one (1) will contain the key to ensure that there will be a winner).  

The winner will be notified at the Grand Prize Event and may be awarded the Grand Prize (subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with the terms of these rules). Station’s decisions as to the administration and operation of the Contest and the selection of the potential winner are final and binding in all matters related to the Contest.
  
Verification of Potential Winner. THE ELIGIBILITY OF ALL POTENTIAL CONTEST WINNERS IS SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY STATION WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE CONTEST. The potential winner must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements.

The potential winner will be required to sign and return to Station, within three (3) days of the date notice is sent, an affidavit of eligibility and a liability/publicity release (except where prohibited) in order to claim his/her prize, if applicable.  A winner who returns the affidavit of eligibility and liability/publicity release will be deemed to have accepted the contest prize and thereafter will not be permitted to rescind their acceptance of the prize and/or return the prize. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return the affidavit of eligibility and/or the liability/publicity release within the required time period (if applicable), or if the prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, potential winner forfeits prize. In the event that the potential winner of a prize is disqualified for any reason, Station may award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries.
