For every correct Contest Keyword entered each day, and on-time, at kolafm.com, that person gets one entry into the next scheduled Friday Grand Prize Drawing at 7:40a.  A listener can earn up to 11 entries per weekday (excluding Fridays).3. For this specific contest (“End of Week Cash Bonus!”), each weekly grand prize drawing is separate.  No online entries will be carried over to the next online drawing.  All listeners must enter Contest Keywords again weekdays during contest hours to be eligible for the next grand prize drawing consisting of all those listeners who entered the correct Contest Keywords during that contest week each weekday online at www.kolafm.com.
Grand Prize Drawing: On schedule grand prize Fridays, a potential winner will be chosen in a random drawing consisting of all contestants who correctly entered at least (1) Contest Keyword during previous weekdays of contesting.  The more Contest Keywords entered correctly each weekday by a contestant, the more entries they’ll have in that Friday’s Grand Prize Drawing.  All contestants must be at least 18 years of age.  Grand Prize Fridays include: 5.16.25, 5.23.25 and 5.30.25. Must be listening to win Grand Prize.

  1. At approximately 7:40a on a scheduled Grand Prize Friday, an announcement will be made as to who is the person identified as the potential winner in the random Grand Prize Drawing.  The person randomly chosen in the drawing, will have 99 seconds to call the KOLA Studios at 1-909-798-5600.  If that person (who’s name was announced at 7:40a) calls back within the allotted time, that person (subject to meeting eligibility requirements) will be announced as that Friday’s “Grand Prize Winner”” and win the stated above Grand Prize.   There is no separate contest involving texting if the previously announced winner calls back in the allotted time.  And the contest continues as described leading up to the next Friday Grand Prize Drawing, if one exists.

  1. Having not called back in the allotted time (if the case is so), a new and separate contest begins.  At the next available time (after the allotted time of 99 seconds), listeners will be told that the person (who’s name was previously called at 7:40a) did not call back within the allotted time.  Therefore, a random person who texts the KOLA studio (with the indicated keyword) at 1-909-798-5600 will be chosen in a random drawing that takes place 99 seconds after the announcement of the “keyword”.  That person, chosen at random (from all texts with the correct “keyword”) will be the potential winner of the “Grand Prize”.

2. Each contest week is separate.  That is, in order to be eligible to win in a specific Friday grand prize drawing, a contestant must have at least one Contest Keyword correctly entered during a contest weekday leading up to that Friday’s grand prize drawing.

3. No entries / contestants will be carried over between contest weeks regardless of the method of qualifying.

All previous contestants from the prior contest days, whether on-air (through texting) or online (with the exception of the one winner who is excluded from all subsequent drawings) will no longer have contestant status and must successfully enter at least one Contest Keyword again for the next scheduled Friday Grand Prize Drawing.

5. The contest continues each week in this manner until the final day of qualifying on Thursday May 29, 2025 at 6:00p. The final drawing for this portion of the contest will take place on Friday May 30, 2025 between 7:00am – 7:40am
