No contribution is required to enter or win. A contribution will not increase your chances of winning.

Determination And Awarding Of Prizes

WSKG will use a random number generator to select the winner from a full list of entries.

Winners will also be notified by email or telephone (in WSKG's discretion). Any prize not timely accepted by a winner will, in WSKG's sole discretion, be forfeited for future use by WSKG, returned to the prize donor, or awarded to an alternate winner. If a prize notification e-mail or any prize is returned to WSKG or its designated agent as undeliverable, that prize will be awarded to an alternate winner. Prize packages will be awarded on an individual basis, with no more than one prize package awarded to each entrant. All eligible entries in a WSKG sweepstakes will remain eligible for each prize in the applicable sweepstakes unless drawn as a winner for another prize.

WSKG may, in its sole discretion, choose to substitute a prize of equal or greater value in the event the offered prize is unavailable. Prizes are not redeemable for cash or exchangeable.
