4. You are only eligible to win a HUGE prize (ie: car, big collective cash prize, fly-away, vacation, etc.) once in a LIFETIME!

7. There will be some instances where a prize won may be substituted for cash/check. These substitutions will be made by Meridian Broadcasting when deemed necessary. A winner can't request this. It may only be offered. Example. If a listener wins a hotel stay as a part of their prize, Meridian Broadcasting holds the right to hand over a check made payable to the winner for the amount that would be equal to the hotel stay. The winner would then be responsible for booking their own reservations, and making payment with the money that was won.
