The Prize(s)
9. The nominators of the potential winners will be notified by phone and/or email between April 11, 2024, and December 31, 2024. All nominators must respond to the notification within 3 business days to consult with WTXF in making arrangements to surprise the potential winner during a regular FOX 29 News Segment on a day/time to be determined by FOX 29. Potential winners will be disqualified for any of the following reasons: if a nominator does not timely respond to notification, if the potential winner’s eligibility cannot be confirmed, if reasonable arrangements cannot be made to surprise the potential winner. In such event, Sponsor will select an alternate potential winner in the manner set forth herein if, in Sponsor’s reasonable discretion, time permits. In order to be declared a final winner, winning nominees must complete, sign and return a Certification of Eligibility and Release and claim the prize in the manner communicated by Sponsor within 7 days of the surprise visit or the prize will not be awarded.
10. Each winning individual, family, or organization will receive a $1,000 Visa gift card. Prizes are provided by Moravia Health.

12. The winner is responsible for all local, county, state, and federal taxes on prizes based on the value of the prizes set forth in these rules.
13. Individuals are eligible to win only one prize from Sponsor within a 30-day period regardless of the number of contests entered. A winner who does not return the Certification of Eligibility and Release in time is still treated as a winner for purposes of this rule and therefore will be ineligible to win another giveaway for 30 days.
