General Contest Rules


No purchase is necessary to enter or win

A purchase will not improve your chances of winning

A complete copy of these General Rules or a list of winners can be obtained by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Allen Media, 1925 Century Park East, 10th Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90067. These General Rules, in addition to any contest/sweepstakes-specific rules (the “Specific Rules”), shall govern all contests or sweepstakes (each a “Promotion” and, collectively, “Promotions”) conducted by WAAY-TV, WEVV-TV, WEEV-LD, KADN-TV, KLAF-LD, KHSL-TV, KNVN(TV), KWWL(TV), WJRT-TV, WFFT-TV, KPOB-TV, WSIL-TV, KIKU(TV), KITV(TV), KHVO(TV), KMAU(TV), WXOW(TV), WQOW(TV), WLFI-TV, WKOW(TV), WTVA(TV), WLOV-TV, WCOV-TV,, WIYC(TV), WALE-LD, KEZI(TV), KDRV(TV), KDKF(TV), KIMT(TV), WREX(TV), WTHI-TV, KVOA(TV), K04QP-D, WAOW, and/or WMOW (each a “Station” and, collectively “Stations”), including without limitation on-air, online, and text-based Promotions, and Promotions conducted through a Station social media account (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, etc.). In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between these General Rules and any Specific Rules, the General Rules shall govern. Where no Specific Rules exist for a given Promotion (e.g., where material terms are announced on-air), these General Rules shall govern. Any individual who enters, attempts to enter or in any way participates or attempts to participate in a Promotion agrees to be bound by these General Rules and any Specific Rules as well as by all interpretations of the rules by Station and by all other decisions of Station, which are final and binding in all matters relating to the Promotion.


1. No purchase is necessary to enter or win. All applicable federal, state, and local regulations apply. Void outside the U.S. and its territories, possessions, and commonwealths and where prohibited by law.

2. Entries. Unless otherwise specified in the Specific Rules, employees of the Station, its parent company, or any prize supplier or entity directly involved in the development or administration of the Promotion, and the members of their immediate families (defined as spouse, parents, siblings, children, grandchildren, including “in-laws” of each) and households are not eligible to enter or win. The term “household” includes all persons residing together in a single residence, whether or not related. Participants are required to provide truthful information and the Station will reject and delete any entry that it discovers or suspects to be false, fraudulent, or incomplete. Entries, and all information contained therein or transmitted therewith, become the sole property of Station and will not be returned or acknowledged. Entries that, as determined by Station in its sole discretion, are indecent, lewd, offensive, defamatory, profane, or are otherwise objectionable, or that contain material that may infringe upon any third party’s intellectual property rights, will be disqualified. Use of any mechanical or automated system to enter or participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. Station is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, or misdirected entries. Where applicable, entries will be deemed made by the “authorized account holder.” The “authorized account holder” is, as applicable, the natural person assigned (a) an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address; (b) a social media account by the social media platform (e.g., Facebook); and/or (c) the text or mobile telephone number by a telecommunications provider, or other organization that is responsible for assigning such numbers. Potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder. Participants are not permitted to share email addresses, social media accounts, or phone numbers.

3. Verification of Potential Winner. POTENTIAL PROMOTION WINNERS ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY STATION, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE PROMOTION. The potential winner must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these General Rules and any Specific Rules and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all eligibility and other requirements. The potential winner may be required to sign and return to Station, within the time period specified by Station, a winner declaration, an affidavit of eligibility, a liability/publicity release (except where prohibited), an IRS tax form, and/or any other Promotion-related documents provided by Station. Such documents must be signed and returned in order for potential winner to claim a prize. Potential winner may be required to provide his/her valid Social Security Number for tax purposes in order to claim a prize. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return any required documents within the required time period, or otherwise fails to reasonably communicate with Station, potential winner will be deemed to have forfeited the prize. In the event that a potential winner is disqualified or forfeits the prize for any reason, Station may, in its sole discretion, award the prize (or any portion thereof) to an alternate winner, award the prize (or any portion thereof) in another contest or sweepstakes, or not award the prize (or any portion thereof).

4. Prizes. There is no substitution, transfer, or cash equivalent for prizes, except that Station may, in its sole discretion, substitute prizes of comparable value. If a prize becomes unavailable for any reason, Station reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to substitute a prize of comparable value. Prizes are expressly limited to the item(s) specified in the Specific Rules or, where no Specific Rules exist, announced on-air or otherwise publicized, and do not include taxes, gratuities, or any other costs or expenses. Station is not responsible for any cancellation, rescheduling, or other modification of an event (including without limitation concerts) conducted by a third party. Any tickets and/or gift certificates/cards awarded as part of a prize will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth by the issuer and are valid only on the date(s) printed on the tickets or gift certificates/cards. Unless otherwise specified in the Specific Rules, any airfare awarded as a prize will be valid for an economy-based fare, flights must depart and return to a major airport in or reasonably near the Station’s DMA, and ground transportation and baggage fees will not be included. Unless otherwise specified in the Specific Rules, any hotel accommodations awarded as a prize will be based on double-occupancy at a hotel selected by Station in its sole discretion. No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded. In the event that more than the stated number of prizes are available and/or claimed, Station reserves the right to award only the stated number of prizes. Released Parties (defined below) expressly disclaim any and all warranties of any kind (whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise), including but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. Released Parties shall not be liable or responsible for guarantees or warranties made or offered by advertisers, partners, manufacturers, or suppliers related to any prize.
