When the code word airs, listeners will be directed to go to the station’s website or station app and enter the code word on the sweepstakes page.  Participants may also enter via one of the many non-code word multiplier buttons, available on the sweepstakes entry page, that will prompt you to take a further action in order to enter, which may include, for example, visiting the station’s Facebook page, joining the station’s mailing list, subscribing to the station on YouTube, following the station on Twitter, sharing links to the sweepstakes on social media, and visiting advertiser websites (together, the “Custom Multipliers”) to win a prize as described in 1B and 2.

1B. How to Play:

Listen Monday through Friday between 6am and 7pm (LOCAL TIME) for a code word.  There will be up to three codes announced daily. When the code word airs, listeners will go to the station’s website to enter that code word on the sweepstakes page by 7pm each day local time. For each code word that is aired, Townsquare will, within 10 days after the end of the Sweepstakes dates above, select ONE winner who will receive (1) Prize package as described in Section 2. Prize(s) subject to availability and other sweepstakes rules. The code words will be aired at the discretion of each participating Station on weekdays, Monday through Friday, two times per weekday during the times noted above. Code words will be aired no more than a total of thirty-six (36) times throughout the duration of the Sweepstakes but may be aired less than the stated number of instances at the discretion of each participating station. Odds of winning Sweepstakes depend on number of participants from this state and other states.

One (1) Grand Prize winner will be selected for this sweepstakes.
