  1. ENTRY:  NO PURCHASE NECESSARY.

The Deadline to enter online is 4:59 PM on Friday, March 6, 2020. Multiple entries by a single individual will be discarded so that the individual has only one entry on file. The identity of an individual will be determined by a number of factors assessed by the station, including unique email address, residence address and other information collected in the entry forms. All determinations by the station as to the unique identity of an individual will be final.  
  1. ELIGIBILITY: Contest is open to legal U.S. residents of the Nassau/Suffolk listening area as defined by Nielsen Audio and who are age 18 or older.  Employees of CMLI, its affiliated radio stations, and their respective affiliated and subsidiary companies and members of the immediate families or households of such employees are not eligible.

  • To enter visit the instructions on walkradio.com.   
  • Entries not selected will be retained for subsequent drawings.  
  • How to win: 
  • If a player (entrant) is selected, the player will receive a call from a WALK representative prompting the player to answer “What’s The Phrase That Pays?” 
  • To win the player must reply “WALK NINETY-SEVEN POINT FIVE, REAL VARIETY FROM THE NINETIES, 2-K AND TODAY” within 5 seconds of being asked and will win $500. 
  • If the Phrase That Pays is not recited correctly or within the 5 second window the prize will be forfeited and will not be awarded.  
  • All prize claims are subject to verification of the claimant’s eligibility and compliance with the Official Rules.  Contestants listening to the Station via the internet stream are advised that there is a delay between the time that a randomly selected name is announced on the air and the time that the announcement is heard on the internet stream.  The time to win that the randomly selected person has to call in to the station to win is based on the time of the on-air announcement. Therefore, persons listening through to the station’s internet stream will be at a disadvantage over those contestants listening over the air, in that they will have less time in which to respond to the announcement.  Listeners to the online stream may not be able to timely participate in the Contest, and announcements made over-the-air about the remaining time for a selected person to call will not be accurate when heard on the station’s internet stream. Due to these delays inherent in the internet stream of the station’s broadcast, listeners to the online stream who wish to participate in this Contest are encouraged to listen to the station live on-air.   
  1. ODDS: Odds of winning depend on number of participants.
  1. PRIZES:   Each prize awarded during the Contest Period is a check in the amount of $500.00 with a maximum of 48 winners. 
  1.

Entrants are required to provide truthful information and station will reject and delete any entry that it discovers to be false or fraudulent.  Station will disqualify any entry from individuals who do not meet eligibility requirements. Any person winning in excess of Six Hundred Dollars and 00/100 ($600.00) or receiving anything with a value of Six Hundred Dollars ($600.00) or more from the station or any affiliated radio station in any contest, including this Contest, as determined by CMLI in its sole discretion, will receive an IRS Form 1099 at the end of the calendar year, and a copy of the 1099 will be filed with the IRS.  Each winner shall be solely responsible for paying any and all applicable Federal, State, local or other taxes.  This includes prizes, if applicable, for travel, lodging, entertainment, special events, automobiles, or any other thing of value. By participating, all participants and winner(s) grant the station and CMLI the permission to use their names, characters, photographs, voices and likeness in connection with the promotion (via print, broadcast or other forms of media) of this and other contests and waive any claims to royalty, right, compensation or remuneration for such use.  By calling the contest lines, voices and names may be recorded and used for promotional or broadcast purposes.
