By participating, entrants agree to be bound by the Official Rules and the decisions of Sponsor. 

 

TO ENTER:  During the Entry Period, go to www.wxyz.com/contests  to follow the onscreen instructions to enter.  All information you provide must be truthful, accurate and complete. Upon completing the previous steps, you will receive one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes (“Entry”).

After submitting an Entry, the entrant must watch 7 Action News This Morning from 6:00am ET through 6:45am ET weekdays (the “Newscast”) during the Watch and Win Period for the Entrant’s name to be announced during the Newscast (the “Cue to Call”).  The Entrant’s name will be randomly selected from all eligible entries received as of 4:00pm ET the weekday prior to each Newscast.  One (1) entrant name will be announced each Newscast, for a total of seventeen (17) entrant’s names announced during the Promotion Period.  If the Entrant’s name is announced during the Newscast, the Entrant has until 7:00am ET that same day to call the number provided during the Cue to Call (the “Contest Line”) and verify their entry information.

Limit one entry, per person and per household.  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. Received entries become the property of Sponsor and will not be returned. 

For those viewing/listening to the station stream on the Internet or other non-broadcast means: Please be advised that you may be listening to a delayed stream of the broadcast signal, which may vary depending on your computer’s memory capacity and your dial-up connection. For that reason, we strongly recommend that you turn on your television to the station to participate in this or any other call-in promotion to be sure you are participating in “real time.”  Sponsor assumes no responsibility for contestants not making timely phone calls to the call-in number as a result of the delays in the method of viewing/listening.

WINNER SELECTION: One (1) entrant’s name will be selected by random drawing at 4:00pm ET the weekday prior to each Newscast during the Watch and Win Period, from all eligible entries received at the time of the drawing.  There will be one (1) entrant’s name announced each weekday for a total of 17 entrant’s names selected during the Watch and Win Period.    If the entrant whose name is announced at the Cue to Call during the Newscast calls the Contest Line by 7:00am ET that applicable day, that entrant will be a winner.  If an entrant’s name is drawn and the entrant doesn’t call the Contest Line within the allotted time, their name will not carry over to the next drawings.  Decisions of Sponsor are final on all matters. Limit one prize per person and per household address. Odds of an entrant being selected as a potential winner will depend upon the number of eligible entries received.

WINNER NOTIFICATION AND RELEASES: If a potential winner: (a) is not in compliance with these Official Rules, (b) does not meet the eligibility requirements, (c) declines the prize, or (d) does not sign and return required documents or provide required identification by deadlines established by Sponsor, he or she will be disqualified. Each potential winner may be required, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, to complete and return an Affidavit of Eligibility & Liability/Publicity Release (TN residents need not sign Publicity Release) and a scan or photo of legal ID and also to have any companion(s) who 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.

PRIZES: There could be up to a total of seventeen (17) potential winners during the Sweepstakes. The daily jackpot will be $1,000 (one thousand dollars). If the announced entrant does not respond by 7:00am ET on the day of the drawing after the Cue to Call is given, the jackpot will not roll over and the daily jackpot will not be awarded. The verified entrant will be awarded the daily jackpot amount of $1,000. The combined total of all prizes awarded during the Promotion Period will not exceed $17,000 (seventeen thousand dollars).  Sponsor will not hold a random drawing from all remaining eligible entries received during the Promotion Period, to award the entire remaining amount not awarded during the Promotion Period via the watch and win method described above. 

Prize will be issued in the form of a check, payable to winner.  Winner must come to the WXYZ studios located at 20777 W. 10 Mile Road, Southfield, MI 48075 Monday-Friday between 9:00AM – 4:30PM with the exception of holidays and by no later than May 31, 2018 to sign the required prize paperwork and provide valid identification to the Sponsor.  Checks will be mailed to the winners’ home address provided on the tax form after they provide the required documentation to Sponsor.  It may take up to (45) forty-five business days for the winner to receive the check in the mail.
