To the extent that WGR general contest rules differ from these rules, these rules will govern and control with respect to this Contest. How to Enter
1. No purchase necessary to enter or win.
2. Beginning October 4th, 2010 at 12am (ET) and ending on the earlier of (i) Friday
immediately preceding the last Sabres 2010-2011 season game (including, without
limitation, post season games, if any) or (ii) once there are five (5) Grand Prize winners
in this Contest (“Contest Registration Period”), go to www.wgr550.com and click on the

completing registration (as described above) during Contest Registration Period,
registrants can download and print a valid “Golden Nugget Hat Trick Bingo Card”
(“Bingo Card”) to use for the entire length of this contest. Any entries received and
bingo cards issued after the Contest Registration Period ends will be deemed void
(because it is impossible to determine in advance what will be the last season game, it is
possible that entry will appear to be open and bingo cards but then subsequently voided
because the season actually ended).
3. Only one Bingo Card per email address. If registrant loses their Bingo Card, they can log
back in under their email address to print a copy of their original card. There will be
approximately 5 different bingo cards available (all entrants will receive one of the 5
different cards).
4. Contestants may participate each week in the Contest – however, once a contestant has
been selected as a Qualifier (see below) they will not be eligible to be a Qualifier again in
this Contest.

Friday, June 10, 2011 Friday, June 17, 2011 June 10th through June 16th
June 17th through June 23rd 6. Every Friday on the dates listed immediately above, between 6am-9:30am (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. The numbers to be
announced will be pre-determined. That Friday’s numbers will be announced
sporadically between 6am-9:30am and the quantity of numbers announced during each
announcement will vary from 1 number to 4 numbers (in Station’s sole discretion).
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 that morning then they should immediately call (716) 6449878. 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 designated Sabres game 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 and/or recorded by Station) (subject to
confirmation of eligibility and compliance with the Contest rules) (each a “Qualifier”).
7. In the event that NO ONE calls the contest line above by 9:45am on that Friday with a
valid Bingo match, Station will make an announcement and accept the 9th caller to the
716-644-9878 to be a Qualifier for that play of the contest.
8. 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
(if required) 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 may select the next subsequent caller (as determined in Station’s sole discretion)
who satisfies the contest requirements (i.e. Bingo card or 10th , 11th etc… caller, as
applicable) to be a Qualifier (subject to confirmation of eligibility and compliance with
the Contest rules).
9. 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
10. If a Qualifier’s ‘Selected Player’ during that Qualifier’s assigned 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.
