The Station will conduct the Q99.7’s “BTS California Flyaway” Contest (the “Contest”) substantially as described in these rules, and by participating, each entrant agrees as follows:

 

No purchase is necessary to enter or win.  A purchase will not increase your chance of winning.   Void where prohibited.  All federal, state, and local regulations apply.

1. This Contest is open only to legal U.S. residents that reside within a 100-mile radius from the Market Office, excluding Florida and New York residents, age twenty-five (25) years or older at the time of entry with a valid Social Security number, who have not won a prize from the Station in the last thirty (30) days or a prize valued at $500 or more in the last thirty (30) days, and whose immediate family members or household members have not won a prize from the Station in the last thirty (30) days or a prize valued at $500 or more in the thirty (30) days.  Void where prohibited by law.  Employees of Station, Susquehanna Radio LLC, and each of their parent companies, affiliates, related entities and subsidiaries, promotional sponsors, prize providers, advertising agencies, other radio stations serving the Station’s market, and the immediate family members and household members of all such employees are not eligible to participate. The term “immediate family members” includes spouses, parents and step-parents, siblings and step-siblings, and children and stepchildren.  The term “household members” refers to people who share the same residence at least three (3) months out of the year. The Contest is subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. Participation constitutes entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules and Station’s decisions, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Contest. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.
2. Contest Period. The Contest entry period will begin at 8:00am ET on Monday, April 27, 2026, and will run weekdays from 8:00am ET until 7:59pm ET through 7:59pm ET on Friday, May 1, 2026 or until the Grand Prize is awarded, whichever is earlier (the “Contest Period”).  The Station’s computer is the official time keeping device for this Contest.
3. How to Enter and Win. Listen to the Station weekdays during the Contest Period. Station will play the cue-to-call sounder at or around 8:00am ET, 12:00pm ET, 2:00pm ET, 5:00pm ET, and 7:00pm ET (each a “Contest Round”). When the Station plays the cue-to-call, listeners must call the Station at 404-448-0997. Caller nine (9) to the Station, as determined by the Station in its sole discretion, will have the opportunity to play the game to win the Grand Prize (as defined below). In the game, Station has three (3) items in a hypothetical suitcase. The caller will be allowed one (1) and only one (1) guess to identify the three (3) items in the hypothetical suitcase. The caller’s first guess is their final guess,  and the caller must identify all three (3) items correctly, as determined by Station in its sole discretion, to win the Grand Prize. Should the caller correctly identify all three (3) items, the caller will be eligible to win the Grand Prize after providing the Station with their name and phone number, subject to verification and compliance with these Contest Rules (“Winner”). If the caller does not correctly identify all three (3) items, the caller does not win, and the Contest will resume during the next scheduled Contest Round.

The Station will announce a new clue each Contest Round, and/or indicate that a caller’s incorrect guess is very close to the exact answer(s). Once any of the three (3) items have been identified, the Station will confirm correct guesses as they are guessed, but ultimately, the Grand Prize winner must identify all three (3) items correctly to win. The Contest will conclude after the last Contest Round on Friday, May 1, 2026, or when the Grand Prize has been awarded, whichever is earlier. If the Contest concludes prior to the last Contest Round on Friday, May 1, 2026, no further Contest Rounds will occur. Unclaimed prizes may not be awarded. All entries may be played on the air. LIMIT ONE (1) PRIZE PER PERSON.

Time Delay Between Over-the-Air Analog Signal and Internet Broadcast: Due to the time delay that exists between the Station’s analog over-the-air signal and the Station’s online webcast, listeners who listen to the Station online may hear the cue to call later than listeners listening to the Station’s analog over-the-air signal. As a result, the odds of an online listener entering this Contest on-air may be diminished. Station’s decisions as to the administration and operation of the Contest and the selection of the potential winners are final and binding in all matters related to the Contest. Failure to verify winner’s eligibility may result in disqualification and forfeiture of the prize.

4. Verification of Potential Winner. THE ELIGIBILITY OF ALL POTENTIAL CONTEST WINNERS IS SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY STATION WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE CONTEST. The potential winner must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. The potential winner may be notified by email and/or telephone call after the date of random drawing and/or winner determination. The potential winner will be required to sign and return to Station, within three (3) days of the date notice is sent, an affidavit of eligibility and a liability/publicity release (except where prohibited) to claim the prize, if applicable.  A winner who returns the affidavit of eligibility and liability/publicity release will be deemed to have accepted the contest prize and thereafter will not be permitted to rescind their acceptance of the prize and/or return the prize. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return the affidavit of eligibility and/or the liability/publicity release within the required time period (if applicable), or if the prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, potential winner forfeits prize. In the event that the potential winner of a prize is disqualified for any reason, Station may award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Unclaimed prizes may not be awarded.    
5. Grand Prize. Up to one (1) Grand Prize will be awarded in this Contest. It is possible that the Grand Prize will not be awarded in this Contest. Whether the Grand Prize is awarded depends on whether a caller correctly identifies the items in the suitcase as described in Section 3 above. The Grand Prize Winner will receive:

• Two (2) tickets to the BTS concert in Stanford, CA on Saturday, May 16, 2026;
• Roundtrip air transportation from Atlanta, GA to a Stanford, CA area airport for Winner and one (1) guest; and
• Hotel accommodations (single room, double occupancy) for two (2) consecutive nights at a Stanford, CA area hotel as determined by Prize Sponsor in its sole discretion.

The approximate retail value (“ARV”) of the Grand Prize is THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($3,000.00).

 

TOTAL ARV OF ALL CONTEST PRIZES IS UP TO THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($3,000.00).

 

For entry to the prize event(s), each event attendee may be required to show valid proof of vaccination against the COVID-19 virus and/or valid proof of a negative test for the COVID-19 virus within 72 hours (or such other time as the event organizers require) prior to the event(s).

The actual retail value of the Grand Prize may vary depending on the point of departure, travel itinerary, airfare fluctuations at the time of awarding/booking and/or accommodations.  Any difference between the above stated ARV and the actual retail value of the Grand Prize will not be awarded. Winner will be informed of the Actual Retail Value at the time the Grand Prize is redeemed. Winner acknowledges that Winner will be provided a 1099 on the actual retail value. Winner is responsible for all taxes associated with prize receipt and/or use.  Odds of winning a prize depend on a number of factors including the number of eligible entries received during the Contest Period and listeners participating at any given time.

There is no substitution, transfer, or cash equivalent for prizes, except that the Station may, in its sole discretion and to the extent permitted by law, substitute prizes of comparable value or cash.  The prizes are expressly limited to the item(s) listed above and do not include taxes, gratuities or any other expenses.  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.  Other restrictions may apply.

 

Grand Prize must be used between the dates of Friday, May 15, 2026 and Sunday, May 17, 2026.  Winner and guest must travel on the same itinerary.  Winner’s guest must be eighteen (18) years of age or older unless the Winner is the legal guardian of the guest. Grand Prize is non-transferable and no substitution will be made except as provided herein at the Station’s sole discretion.  If Winner elects to partake in any or all portions of Winner’s Grand Prize with no Guest, the Grand Prize will be awarded to Winner and any remainder of the Grand Prize will be forfeited and shall not be subject to further or alternative compensation. All elements of the Grand Prize must be redeemed at the same time, and no changes will be permitted after confirmation of any redemption

 

If any prize or a portion of any prize is postponed, cancelled, or otherwise unavailable due to disease, epidemic, pandemic, quarantine, any acts of government and/or any reason that is beyond the control of Station or any Sponsor, then no substitution shall be provided. Station and any Sponsors make no representation or warranty about the safety of any prize.
