  1. How to Play/Enter:

Code Entries. Participating radio stations (“Stations”) will announce cash codes (“codes”) each weekday from Thursday, September 17, 2026, through Friday, October 16, 2026 (the “Code Entry Period”), between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. local time. There will be ten (10) codes announced daily per participating Station. When the codes are announced, listeners will be directed to enter the applicable code on the participating Station’s Sweepstakes webpage or mobile app for entry into both the applicable Daily Prize drawing for two hundred and fifty dollars ($250) and the Grand Prize drawing for twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000). Each Station may, in its discretion, announce fewer than ten (10) codes on any weekday during the entry period. Times of code announcements will be determined by each participating Station in its discretion.

To constitute a valid entry, the code must be entered on the applicable Station’s sweepstakes page by no later than 11:59 p.m. local time on the same day that the code was announced on-air. Completion of the above steps will constitute both a valid Daily Prize Entry for the applicable Daily Prize drawing and a valid Grand Prize Entry for the Grand Prize drawing.

Non-code Entries: From Thursday, September 17, 2026, through Friday, October 16, 2026 (the “Custom Multiplier Entry Period”), participants may obtain Grand Prize Entries through non-code word multiplier buttons available on Sweepstakes entry pages offered by participating Stations or online national brands. Participants will be prompted to complete one or more actions, which may include visiting or following a participating Station or online national brand on social media, joining its mailing list, subscribing to its YouTube channel, sharing Sweepstakes links on social media, or visiting advertiser websites (collectively, the “Custom Multipliers”). Each completed Custom Multiplier action will constitute one Grand Prize Entry. Custom Multiplier entries are eligible for the Grand Prize drawing only and are not eligible for any Daily Prize drawing.

The Code Entry Period and the Custom Multiplier Entry Period are collectively referred to as the “Entry Periods”.

  1. Terms of Entry:

No purchase is necessary. Odds of winning a Daily Prize depend on the number of eligible Daily Prize Entries received for the applicable daily drawing. Odds of winning the Grand Prize depend on the total number of eligible Grand Prize Entries received during the Entry Periods.

 

Completion of the cash code entry steps described above will enter you into the applicable Daily Prize drawing and the Grand Prize drawing. Entrants are limited to one Daily Prize Entry per person, per code word, per day, for a maximum total of ten (10) cash code entries per person, per day.  All cash code entries must be submitted and received no later than 11:59 p.m. local time on the same day the applicable code word is aired.  There is no limit to the total number of Daily Prizes an entrant may win during this Sweepstakes. Winning a Daily Prize will not disqualify a participant from winning the Grand Prize.

 

Completion of the Custom Multiplier steps described above will enter you into the Grand Prize drawing. Each available Custom Multiplier may be completed only once per person during the entire Custom Multiplier Entry Period. Custom Multipliers do not reset during the Sweepstakes. Custom Multiplier entries are Grand Prize Entries only and do not count as Daily Prize Entries. All Custom Multiplier entries must be completed by 11:59 p.m. local time on Friday, October 16, 2026.

 

The use of any agencies or automated software to submit entries will void all entries submitted by that person. Irregularities in the entry process will be investigated by Sweepstakes Organizer and may result in disqualification. Any decision made by Sweepstakes Organizer as a result of such investigation shall be final.
