4. WINNER SELECTION

Standard Winner Selection.

On Monday June 19, following the conclusion of the Entry Period, Sweepstakes Organizers will randomly select a total of thirty (30) names from the collective pool of all eligible entries received via the free NJ 101.5 app during the Entry Period (each a “Potential Winner”). Sweepstakes Organizers will then contact each Potential Winner via email (using the email they entered on the free NJ 101.5 app with their code word

submission) to notify them that their name has been selected. Each Potential Winner will be asked to provide their full name, age, and mailing address, for verification purposes, within a specified time period. If the Potential Winner responds and can verify their information, they will receive one (1) of thirty (30) Sweepstakes Prizes, each identical to the next, all as defined below in Section 5, and be declared a “Winner” of the Sweepstakes. If a Potential Winner does not respond within the timeframe stated in the notification email, the Prize will be forfeited and Sweepstakes Organizers will select an alternate Potential Winner in his/her place at random from the remaining entries received during the Entry Period. If Sweepstakes Organizers select an individual’s name more than once, only the first selection will be counted. In this scenario, Sweepstakes Organizers will select an alternative name at random from the remaining entries received until thirty (30) different names have been selected at random as Potential Winners. This process of random selection will continue until thirty (30) Potential Winner’s have claimed their status as a “Winner” of the Sweepstakes. For purposes of these official rules, the thirty (30) Winners shall be referred to as the “Standard Winners”.

Grand Prize Winner Selection.

After the thirty (30) Standard Winners have been identified, Sweepstake Organizers will randomly select one (1) final “Grand Prize Winner” from the collective pool of all remaining eligible entries received during the Entry Period following the same selection process as described above. Sweepstakes Organizers will contact the Potential Grand Prize Winner via email (using the email they entered on the free NJ 101.5 app with their code word submission) to notify them that their name has been selected. The Potential Grand Prize Winner will be asked to provide his/her full name, age, and mailing address, for verification purposes, within a specified time period. If the Potential Grand Prize Winner responds and can verify his/her information, they will receive the Grand Prize, as defined below in Section 5, and be declared the “Grand Prize Winner” of the Sweepstakes. If the Potential Grand Prize Winner does not respond within the timeframe stated in the notification email, the Grand Prize will be forfeited and Sweepstakes Organizers will select an alternate Potential Grand Prize Winner in his/her place, at random, from the remaining entries received during the Entry Period. Standard Winners are not eligible for the Grand Prize Winner status or Grand Prize.
