a.   Methods of winning will be determined and announced on-air at the time of the contest solicit and consist of (b.)Text Contests, (c.) Phone-in Contests, (d.) On-line Contests or a combination of all three.  No particular method is guaranteed and KOLA reserves the right to change the method of entering or participating in the stated contest at any time.

b.   Text Contests
During the contest times listed above, listeners may be encouraged through a contest solicit to text in the “keyword” announced at that time to 1-909-798-5600. See (e.).

c.   Phone-in Contests
During the contest times above, listeners may be encouraged through a contest solicit to be the 19^th caller at 1-909-798-5600.  If they are the correct caller and meet all the eligibility requirements, they will become a contestant for the game as outlined in (h.).

d. On-Line.
There is no on-line component to this contest.

e.   For “Text Contests”, a random drawing from all those listeners who texted in the correct “keyword” (meeting all requirements) and upon being contacted by KOLA through process described in sections (f.) and (g.) will become that scheduled contest time’s “contestant”.

f.   The contest period consists of the solicit at the prescribed range of times and the collection of texts during that time period, which is 5 minutes.  That is, upon hearing the “keyword” for that particular contest time, the contestants have only 5 minutes to text that “keyword” to 1-909-798-5600 in order to be considered for the random drawing for that specific contest time.  Each contest entry is separate.  No entries are held over or considered during any other contest times that day or during any contest day.  Contestants must enter each contest separately with the correct “keyword”.

g.  Upon choosing a random contestant (from e.) KOLA will call that random potential winner through the phone number provided (originated from phone).  If that person does not answer their phone by the third ring, another random drawing will be held.  This process continues until a potential winner (through random drawing) answers their phone and completes the process to become a “contestant”.

h.  This random contestant will have the opportunity to guess the amount.  The contestant will be told if the guess is either (a) too low, (b) too high, or (c) the correct amount.  Only one guess will be allowed.  The announcer is not responsible for a listener’s guess that is unintelligible and then disputed.  The first number that the announcer hears from the contestant is the only guess allowed at that time.

i.   If the guess is incorrect, no cash prize will be awarded and the game will be played at the next available contest time as described above and subject to change at any time per KOLA 99.9’s discretion.  The contestant is eligible to play at the next scheduled contest time as long as they complete the process described in (e.), (f.) and (g.).

j.   If the guess is correct, that contestant will win the pre-determined cash amount in the KOLA Hi-Lo Stack of Cash.  At KOLA’s discretion, a dollar amount guessed, at any time, may or may not be added to by an additional dollar amount determined by KOLA.  In that instance, the actual dollar amount awarded for the correct guess would be higher than the exact amount guessed during that particular contest .  The contestant, having won that specified cash amount as announced by KOLA, is no longer eligible to play in any remaining KOLA Hi-Lo Stack of Cash contests during the above stated contest period nor is anyone in that person’s household allowed to play.

k.   Once the winning amount of that specific contest has been successfully guessed, a new contest amount may or may not be chosen.  At that time, an announcement to the next contest time (if any) will be made.  In some cases, the next contest time announced may or may not be the next scheduled time as described above.  The new scheduled time may be on a different day and not the subsequent next time as originally described as the next contest time.

l.   The contest will continue in this manner until the approximate date of Friday May 26, 2023.  However, that date may change.  An earlier or later final contest day may be determined by KOLA 99.9 at any time during the stated contest period.

m.   In the case of contests involving texting, all data fees and charges apply and KOLA is not responsible for any fees or charges that coincide with the listeners ability to enter through texting.

n.   Additionally, by texting KOLA for requests, comments on topics, inquiries or any contest, it’s understood that you will receive a reply containing an advertisement.  All data fees and charges apply per your existing texting or data plan.
