3. To enter, listen to Sports Radio 66 and 101.9FM WFAN (the “Station”) on-air between the hours of 10AM Eastern Time (“ET”) and 1PM ET Monday through Friday during the Contest Dates for Joe Benigno & Evan Roberts to give out letters of a popular Super Bowl participant’s (or MVP’s) first & last name (past or present). Benigno & Roberts may announce two or three letters daily. Each such Super Bowl participant shall be that week’s designated “Scrambled Player,” and the letters of only one Scrambled Player’s last name will be announced each week during the Contest Dates. Then on each Friday during the Contest Dates, between 10AM ET and 1PM ET, the Station will announce the cue-to-call and designate a phone number for listeners to call for the specified cue-to-call. This number can be the listener line at 1-877-337-6666, the contest line at 1-866-540-9326, or any other number designated by the Station. To be eligible, participants must call the designated contest phone number and be the designated number caller. Upon hearing the cue-to-call, the designated number caller (as announced by the on-air personality prior to the cue-to-call) to get through to the designated Station contest line will be given a chance to win a prize upon confirmation of eligibility. To the best of the Station’s ability, calls will be taken in the order in which they are received. At the time of their call, callers will be required to guess that week’s Scrambled Player’s full name by unscrambling the letters heard on air during that week. Each caller will be allowed to have one guess. If a caller is unable to guess correctly the last name of the Scrambled Player, the Contest will continue and the Station will take another caller. The first eligible designated caller who correctly identifies the Scrambled Player on each Friday will be deemed a prize winner and will be awarded the prize upon confirmation of eligibility. Benigno & Roberts may give out more letters if listeners are having trouble coming up with the right player. At the time of their calls, designated callers must provide all information requested including their full name, complete address (including zip code), day and evening phone numbers and date of birth in order to be eligible to win. In the event that the selected caller is disconnected or is found to be ineligible, the next eligible caller that successfully makes it through on the Station’s call-in line and completes their call will be given a chance to win a prize. There is no limit to the number of times a listener may attempt to call in to win, but a listener may be a winner only once.
