POWER 95.3 – Beat The Bomb
OFFICIAL CONTEST RULES

1. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR TO WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. ALL FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND MUNICIPAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS APPLY. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.

2. ELIGIBILITY: The "Beat the Bomb" contest (the “Contest”) is open only to legal Florida residents 18 years and older at the time of entry who possess a valid Florida state-issued ID or driver's license. Employees of Cox Enterprises, Inc., Cox Media Group, Cox Radio, Inc., WPYO-FM, Orlando-area media companies, promotional sponsors, and all affiliated companies (and the immediate family members of all such employees, and all others with whom they are domiciled) are not eligible to enter or win. The term “immediate family members” include spouses, parents, grandparents, siblings, children, and grandchildren. Only one winner per household every 30 days is permitted to win.

3. HOW TO ENTER: At designated times throughout the day, WPYO/Power 95.3 will solicit callers to "BEAT The Bomb". When you hear the solicitation to “Beat the Bomb,” you must dial the Contest line at 407-295-9595. In each instance, Caller 9 will be chosen and have the opportunity to "Beat The Bomb" for up to $1,000. The on-air “Contest Period” begins at 7:00 am on Monday, November 2, 2009 and will end on Friday, December 11, 2009 at 5pm.

4. PRIZES and METHODOLOGY: Once a designated caller (as identified by Sponsor) is on the telephone line, the operator on the air will play a designated, pre-produced “Beat the Bomb” Contest audio package on the telephone line to the designated caller. The object of the Contest is to have the designated caller say the word “Stop!” before the “Bomb” sound effect goes off. As the Contest audio package plays, varying dollar amounts (up to a maximum of $1,000) are announced. If the designated caller clearly says "Stop!" before the "Bomb" sound effect goes off, the designated caller will win the last complete dollar amount announced. (If the designated caller says "Stop!" at any time during the announcement of a dollar amount, they will be awarded the dollar amount previously completely announced.) If the "Bomb" sound effect goes off before the designated caller clearly says "Stop" (as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion), they will win $95. If the "Bomb" sound effect does not go off (except as a result of an error or malfunction) and the maximum dollar amount ($1,000 is the set maximum dollar amount) is announced without the designated caller saying "Stop", the designated caller wins the $1,000.

A maximum of $29,500 in prizes will be awarded during the Contest Period. Should there be any dispute over whether a designated caller has said “STOP” before a dollar amount was announced or before the “Bomb” sound effect goes off Sponsor will make the decision of what prize, if any, will be awarded. The Sponsor’s decisions are final.

The use of automatic telephone dialing equipment or other software or computer assisted dialing equipment is prohibited and will result in disqualification. Sponsor is not responsible for loss of service to the Contest line or for a contestant’s failure to reach the Contest line due to contestant error, malfunction of any network or system, congestion, overload, busy signals, or any other factor that may prevent an individual from completing his or her phone call, or any interruptions or technical difficulties including those that may prohibit, prevent, or interfere with the submission of an entry or completion of a phone call. In the event of an interruption of power or telephone service to Sponsor during a call-in time of the Contest and prior to accepting the designated caller, the Contest call-in period affected by the interruption may be replayed at the resumption of service, in Sponsor’s discretion. EACH PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY TELEPHONE CALLS PLACED TO THE STATION’S CONTEST LINE MAY BE BROADCAST LIVE ON SPONSOR’S RADIO STATION AND ALSO MAY BE RECORDED FOR USE ON AIR AT A LATER TIME.

5. ODDS: The odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible contestants who participate when the call-in opportunity is announced and the order in which those calls are received. The Contest will be played three times each weekday from November 2, 2009 starting on or about 7:00 am and ending on November 27, 2009 on or about 5:00 pm.
