4.  SELECTION OF WINNERS

a. Decisions of Station management with respect to the Promotion are final.

November 6, 2009
November 11, 2009
November 18, 2009
November 23, 2009
December 2, 2009

Each Qualifier will be assigned one (1) quarter of that day’s football game.  During 97.1 The Ticket’s broadcast of each of the remaining 2009-10 Detroit Lions games, one (1) Qualifier will be announced per quarter (four (4) total per game).  Each Qualifier will receive a Qualifying Prize, and if the Detroit Lions score a touchdown in the quarter in which the Qualifier was announced, that Qualifier will win a Grand Prize.

c. Qualifiers will be contacted by 1:00 p.m. ET on each of the drawing dates specified above and will be told which quarter of the game they will be assigned to.  Odds of winning a Qualifying Prize depend on the number of valid entries received.  Odds of a Qualifying Prize winner winning a Grand Prize depend on the play of the Detroit Lions.  Entrants not selected in each week’s drawing will be automatically eligible for all subsequent drawings so odds of winning increase with each additional drawing you are eligible for.

d. Winners need not listen to the Station or be present to win.
e. Station reserves the right to not choose a winner if no eligible entries are submitted.
