4) SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION OF WINNERS
a. Decisions of Station management with respect to the Contest are final.
- At approximately 1:55 p.m. CT on November 28, 2009, during the Station appearance, a Station representative will select one (1) winner from all of the eligible entries received up to that point during the appearance.

- Odds of winning depend upon the number of eligible entries received up to the time of the drawing.
- Winner will be notified by announcement onsite. If winner does not claim prize within one (1) minute of announcement, an alternate winner will be selected from the remaining eligible entries and that winner will have one minute to claim the prize. This process will continue until a potential winner claims prize within one (1) minute of announcement or until 2:00 p.m. CT, whichever comes first.
- The winner must execute and return any required affidavit of eligibility and/or liability/publicity release at the Station appearance or prize will be forfeited. If a potential winner fails to sign and return the required affidavit of eligibility and/or liability/publicity release within the required time period the potential winner forfeits the prize.
