number of valid entries submitted by each Participant. This is a nationwide contest, and
winners will be selected from a pool of submissions from throughout the United States. Even if
the Station has rebranded or renamed this Contest, as described in Exhibit A, Participants are

already received a Daily Prize in the ongoing Contest period will be ineligible to receive an
additional $1000 Daily Prize.
6. Winner Selection and Notification.
Selection of $1000 Daily Prize Winners: One winner will be randomly selected each weekday, beginning
Tuesday, January 3rd, 2023, excluding U.S. National Holidays, during the Promotional Period. In order to
win, a Participant will be selected from the valid submissions received the prior business day using a
random number generator.
Notification: The Contest Administrator will attempt to contact the selected Participant by phone,
utilizing the phone number provided at the time of submission. The call to the selected participant will
likely occur (but is not required to occur) between 12PM and 2PM Eastern Time. The call may, but is not
required to, show caller ID as coming from an Indiana number (area code 260) or as an “UNKNOWN”
caller; there is no guarantee what the call will show on the Participant’s phone and the Sponsors are not
responsible for any error or confusion that may result from how the call is displayed on the Participant’s
phone. The Contest Administrator will attempt to contact the selected Participant by phone three times
within a 15-minute period, although those calls could happen within a smaller window of time. No
messages, voice mail, or other type of messages will be left on the selected Participant’s phone. If the
Contest Administrator is unable to contact the selected Participant after calling them three times, then
an alternate Participant will be randomly selected, and the same contact method will be utilized to
reach the alternate Participant. If the first selected participant cannot be contacted, a maximum of nine
alternate participants will be selected each day. If after attempting to contact the randomly selected
participants in this manner, the Contest Administrator has been unable to contact any of the randomly
selected participants, an additional five individuals will be selected from the valid submission pool. If
contact is made with the randomly chosen Participant after three phone calls, that Participant will be
awarded the prize. Participants need not be listening or present to win. The call with the selected
winner will be recorded for future playback on any and all participating Stations.
All winner information, such as name and location, will be collected at the time that the winner is
contacted. This information will be sent to the local Station. The IBA will provide the local station with a
check for the prize amount, made out to the local Station from the Cash Contest Account held by the
IBA. The local Station will then draft a check to the winner, utilizing the information provided to the
Contest Administrator at the time of winning. Winners will be notified by the local station to pick up
their checks. The Sponsors and Station will notify winners of when to pick up their checks as soon as
practicably possible. Any prizes, certificates, or checks not claimed within 60 days of notice will be
forfeited by the winner. Winner checks must be claimed by the selected winner, in person, at the
Station’s designated location, with proper identification. The Station reserves the right to refuse to
deliver any check, prize, or certificate to any individual who’s proper identification does not match the
information provided by the selected winner at the time they are contacted, or in accordance with all
federal, state, and local laws. Decisions of Station management with respect to the Contest are final.
The Sponsors are not responsible for any technical issues, natural disasters, or other intervening factor
which may prevent the Contest Administrator from being able to reach the selected Participant. The
Sponsors are also not responsible for any technical issues, natural disasters, or other intervening factors
which prevent the selected winner’s contact information from being correctly recorded or provided to
the Station. It is the responsibility of the selected winner to ensure that the information provided at the
time of contact is correct. Any failure to provide correct information may result in the prize being
forfeited or the winner being unable to collect the prize. The Station, Sponsors, and Contest
Administrator reserve the right to withhold any prizes which they suspect may be fraudulently
obtained.
