ENTRY: From time to time, Sponsor may promote a Giveaway during Sports Xtra on WRTV-TV between 11:15 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time (“ET”). When the Giveaway is promoted, Sponsor shall provide additional details regarding the prize and entry and ask participants to call 317-269-1459 and be the designated caller number to win, as determined solely by Sponsor.
No mechanically reproduced entries of any kind permitted. Illegible and incomplete entries are void. Sponsor is not responsible for interrupted, distorted, or incorrect broadcast information; dropped calls; lost, late, misdirected entries; or entries not received for any reason. Entries become the property of Sponsor and will not be returned.
WINNER SELECTION: Winners will be selected by viewer's caller number based on random answering of the telephone each applicable time frame a Giveaway is run on the air.
Decisions of Sponsor are final on all matters. Winners will be notified by phone/email. Limit one prize per person/household address. Odds of winning will depend upon the number and order of calls received.
PRIZES: The prizes to be awarded may change with each Giveaway and will be generally described on the air prior to announcing which caller will be selected by random answering of the telephone. The approximate retail value of the prizes offered for a Giveaway will vary, but will not exceed $350.00 and may be substantially less. In general, the items to be awarded to the random winner will be similar to event tickets, movie tickets, lottery tickets, books, DVD's and restaurant gift certificates based on discretion of Sponsor. Prizes consist of only those items specifically listed as part of the prize. No substitution or transfer/assignment of prize by winners permitted. Subject to all terms, conditions and restrictions on face of ticket, gift certificate or imposed by issuer. If by reason of printing or other error, more prizes are claimed than the number of prizes set forth in these Official Rules, a random drawing will be held to award the advertised number of prizes in the relevant category. Under no circumstances will more than the advertised number of prizes be awarded. Prize details and availability are subject to change, in which case a prize of equal value may be substituted at Sponsor's sole discretion. Prizes are awarded "AS IS." Winner must pick up his or her prize at WRTV-TV, 1330 North Meridian Street, Indianapolis, IN 46202 M-F between 9am-5pm within 30 days of the Giveaway date.
Federal, state, and local taxes on prizes, if any, and any other costs, fees and expenses not listed above as specifically included as part of the prize are the sole responsibility of winner. ALL TAXES ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE WINNER. An IRS form 1099 and other tax-related forms and documents may be issued by Sponsor if required by law.
WINNER NOTIFICATION AND RELEASES: On or around the date of the Giveaway Sponsor shall notify the potential winner(s). The potential prize winner(s) will be contacted via telephone. If a potential winner does not respond after the first attempted contact from Sponsor within 48 hours, he or she will be disqualified and the prize awarded to an alternate winner as determined by random draw from the remaining eligible entries. The potential prize winner(s) may be asked to provide confirmation that he or she is the owner of the relevant email address. Each potential winner may be required, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, to complete and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, a scan or photo of legal ID, Release of Liability and/or, if legally permissible, a Publicity Release and also to have any companion(s) that will participate in the prize activities, if applicable, return the same documentation before claiming the prize or being allowed to participate in any prize activities. If any of the potential winner or the companion(s), if applicable, is under the age of majority in his or her state of residence, then the parent or legal guardian of the minor potential winner or companion(s) must sign and return all required forms. All forms must be postmarked within 10 days of the date on notification materials if return is requested via mail or forms must be completed before receipt of any prize if prizes are picked up in person. Noncompliance within this time period and/or return of any prize/prize notification as undeliverable may result in disqualification and an alternate potential winner may be randomly selected from all remaining eligible entries. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute any prize with prize of equal or greater value in its sole discretion.
