5. Every Friday on the dates listed immediately above (subject to the Sabres still being in
postseason play), between 6am-10am (ET) the WGR Morning Show will play “Bingo”
by announcing bingo numbers that correspond with the Bingo Card contestants
downloaded from the Station’s website. Contestants who have downloaded a valid Bingo
Card from the Station’s website should mark their card each time they have an exact
match as announced on air by Station. If a contestant completes a “Bingo” by
successfully matching and completing five (5) spaces on contestant’s valid Bingo Card in
a row, column or diagonal, to the numbers announced by the WGR Morning Show then
they should immediately call (716) 644-9878. The first contestant to get through to (716)
644-9878 with a “Bingo” wins a Qualifying Prize (see details below), will be assigned to
the next Sabres post season game scheduled the immediately following week (if any) for
that particular Bingo game play (see above) and must designate one (1) player on the
Sabres as their ‘Selected Player’ during their designated Sabres game to the Station
representative (which may be broadcast on air) (subject to confirmation of eligibility and
compliance with the Contest rules) (each a “Qualifier”). Only the one (1) selected
Qualifier as designated by the Station shall be assigned to the designated game for that
particular Bingo game play. All other participants who have completed a Bingo on their
card or attempted to contact the Station for that particular Bingo game play are
disqualified and not eligible to participate further in that particular Bingo game play. If
designated caller does not qualify because they did not have Bingo or they are ineligible
for any other reason, or they do not want to be assigned to the designated game for that
Bingo game play, or they do not designate their ‘Selected Player’ at the time they are
selected as a Qualifier, then that designated caller will be disqualified and will forfeit
their Qualifying Prize and their right to be assigned to the designated game and designate
a Selected Player for that particular Bingo game and Station will select the next
subsequent caller (as determined in Station’s sole discretion) with a Bingo to be a
Qualifier (subject to confirmation of eligibility and compliance with the Contest rules). If
there are no callers that have Bingo for that designated Bingo game play there will be no
Qualifier for that particular Bingo game play, that particular Bingo game play will not be
repeated and the Contest will resume on the following Friday during the Contest (if
applicable). Designated Sabres NHL post season game must be played within 7 days
of qualifying in accordance with the week dates set forth in the chart above. If there
is no Sabres NHL post season game played within those 7 days (but the Sabres have
not yet been eliminated from further participation in the postseason), the Qualifier’s
chance at the Grand Prize is forfeited but the Qualifier does receive the Qualifying
Prize.
How to Win
6. If a Qualifier’s ‘Selected Player’ during that Qualifier’s designated game scores 3 or
more goals (a “Hat Trick”) (each of the goals consisting of the Hat Trick must be
recorded as an official goal scored by the ‘Selected Player’ by the official league, and
recorded in the official game stats to be a valid grand prize winning opportunity in this
Contest) then that Qualifier will be a Grand Prize Winner and will win a Grand Prize (see
details below), subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with the Contest rules.
If any designated game is cancelled prior to the game being ruled an official game, then
all stats are removed and no Grand Prize will be awarded for that corresponding
cancelled or unofficial designated game. Any rescheduled designated game or a
designated game in which play is resumed shall be eligible for this Contest.
7. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY,
THERE WILL BE A MAXIMUM OF FOUR (4) GRAND PRIZES AWARDED IN
