There will be a different keyword announced each day; each keyword may be announced more than once per day. Once you hear the keyword, go to wrsi.com to the Grand In Your Hand contest page. Complete a registration, including the correct contest keyword, for the chance to win $1,000 (ARV: $1,000 – Face value of check). You must complete the registration by 11:59 pm that day to be eligible to win that day only. There will be no keyword announced on Memorial Day, 5/29/23. One entry per person, per keyword, per day. By entering each day of the contest, it will increase the chances of winning. One winner per keyword will be randomly chosen from all eligible entrants on the following business day (4/25/23 through 6/19/23) and notified by phone and email. Each winner will be awarded $1,000. The phone number from the chosen entry will be called and the reaction recorded for broadcast.  If the chosen entrant is notified by voicemail or other answering device, he or she will have 24 hours from the date we call to respond by calling the number given on the message.  If the chosen entrant does not contact us back within the time limit, he or she will be disqualified, and another winner will be chosen from all eligible entrants.  This process will continue until a winner is identified.  There will be 39 winners, for a total of $39,000 given away.

WRSI will conduct this contest concurrently and simultaneously with other affiliated radio stations, and in various states.  Listeners of WRSI will, therefore, be competing with listeners of other radio stations to win the same prize.  No purchase necessary.

Only one winner per household is permitted within 30 days after a household has a winner. Any prize awarded to an ineligible listener will be deemed null and void, and an alternate eligible winner may be named.

One entry per person, per keyword, per day. By entering each day of the contest, it will increase the chances of winning. Submitting more than one entry per person, per keyword, per day will invalidate all entries by that contestant. Any entry submitted on behalf of another individual or using another person’s email address or name will be disqualified and ineligible to claim any prize.  Any attempt by any participant to obtain more than the stated number of entries allowed by using same, multiple/different email addresses, identities, or any other methods void that participant’s entries, and that participant may be disqualified. In the event of a dispute as to any on-line registration, the authorized account holder of the e-mail address used to register will be deemed to be the registrant and he/she must be eligible according to these Official Rules. No mechanically reproduced or automated entries permitted.  Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification and all such entries will be deemed void.
