Grand Prize Contest:
Prior

improvement projects will be randomly arranged in a predetermined grand prize winning order from 1 to 10 by an independent
promotions company (Million Dollar Media), and placed
in a sealed security envelope. The
sealed security envelope containing the grand prize winning
home improvement project list order will be provided to the Stations prior to
the start of the contest. Each item will
be used a maximum of one time to create the winning list.
At the conclusion of the contest registration period on or about 5/18/2026,
or immediately following termination of the contest registration, Stations
shall submit each eligible entry received to the promotions company for
comparison to the grand prize winning list. A representative of the promotions company
shall compare each eligible 10-item ‘wish list’ submitted and received from
each eligible contestant to the actual predetermined grand prize winning
10-item home improvement project list, to determine if any contestant has
correctly guessed the winning list in exact order (1 – 10). In the event a
winning list has been submitted, the contestants(s) who submitted the winning
list will be immediately notified, and will eligible to claim the grand prize, subject to verification
and compliance with these Official Rules.
If no contestant has submitted the items in the winning order, then the
grand prize will not be awarded.
Bonus Prize Contest – Three (3) Closest
Guesses: In the event there
is not a grand prize winning entry, then the three (3)
eligible contestants who are determined to have submitted a home improvement
wish list entry that is closest to the predetermined grand prize
winning project list will be declared as ‘Bonus Prize Winners’. In the event of any grand prize winner(s),
the bonus prize will not be awarded. The
bonus prize winners will be determined by identifying the three (3) contestants
who have submitted the most featured home improvement projects in the correct
winning order, starting with the first project.
As soon as a contestant has a project in the wrong order, their entry
will be considered disqualified – regardless if any
additional projects are in the correct position later in their wish list. In the event of a tie between any eligible
contestants for the three (3) closest entries (i.e. multiple contestants have
arranged the same number of projects in the correct order starting with the
first project that exceeds three (3) entrants), then a random drawing will be
held among those tied contestants to determine the three (3) bonus prize
winners.
