Prizes are non-transferable and may not be claimed or used by any person other than the winner. Winners must claim their prizes in person at the WRAT offices within 30 days after the end of the contest. Prizes not claimed within the 30-day period will be forfeited.

Eligibility
All entrants must be at least 18 years old and legal residents of the United States, living or working in WRAT’s total survey area, as defined by Arbitron. A winner will be disqualified if he/she or a member of his/her household has won a WRAT contest with a value over $50.00 within the previous 60 days.
