Each weekday during the Contest Period, during the 10:00 p.m. (C.T.) newscast on KATC, Sponsor will air a live announcement of the name of an entrant randomly selected from among all eligible entries received between 5:00 p.m. (C.T.) and 7:30 p.m. (C.T.) that day. 

Any individual claiming to be the entrant whose name was announced will need to verify his or her entry information, including the mailing address on his or her entry form, in order to claim his or her prize.  In the event that multiple prize claims are made by individuals with the same names in response to a prize announcement, the prize will go to the individual whose mailing address matches the mailing address specified on the entry form randomly drawn as the potential winner for such announcement, subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules.

To claim his/her prize, the potential winner must personally visit Sponsor’s offices at 1103 Eraste Landry Road in Lafayette, LA within 14 days after notification (office visits must be between the hours of 9 a.m. (C.T.) and 5 p.m. (C.T.)  weekdays) and must present a valid government-issued photo ID.  Potential winners may be required to complete an affidavit of eligibility, and a liability and publicity release (except where prohibited by law), which must be notarized and returned to Sponsor within fourteen (14) days of notification.  

The failure of a potential winner to timely respond to a prize notification, and/or a potential winner’s failure to comply with any term or condition of these Official Rules may, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, result in the potential winner’s disqualification and the selection of a substitute winner by a random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries received that day.  Sponsor will conduct up to one (1) alternate drawing for each weekday during the Contest Period, after which the prize will remain unawarded. Prizes not won and claimed by eligible winners in accordance with these Official Rules will not be awarded and will remain the property of Sponsor.

A PARTICIPANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE UNLESS AND UNTIL SPONSOR HAS COMPLETED THEIR VERIFICATION OF PARTICIPANT’S ELIGIBILITY.

Sponsor reserves the right to substitute prizes or components of prize packages with a prize or component of equal or greater value.  No substitutions allowed by winner. A winner may waive the right to receive a prize.  Prizes are non-assignable and nontransferable and cannot be redeemed for cash.  Prizes and individual components of prize packages are subject to availability.
