• For Draw Periods 1 – 69 inclusive, the Promoter will randomly draw one (1) entrant from all valid entries registered in the relevant Draw Period. For Draw Period 70, the Promoter will randomly draw thirty (30) entrants from all valid entries registered for that Draw Period.
WINNER DETERMINATION
• All drawn entrants will be called during the live broadcast of The Today Show on Channel 9 on the dates stipulated in Table A for their chance to win. The Promoter will call the randomly drawn entries, in the order they were drawn and recorded, and via their fixed line telephone and/or mobile telephone number from which their entry was originally received. In the event that within their entry, the entrant stipulates a different number from which their entry was originally received, this number will be used to call the entrant. In the event an entrant leaves both a mobile number and a landline number in their entry, the Promoter will call the mobile number if the entrant is drawn. Entrants must satisfy the “Valid Winner Requirements” set out in clause 12 below to qualify for a prize.
• For each Draw Periods there will be one (1) call per live broadcast of The Today Show (subject to clause 15 below). In the case of Draw Period 60, in the event that the first (1st) call in this period is not a valid winner in accordance with the Valid Winner Requirements, then the Promoter will call the remaining twenty nine (29) entrants in the order they were drawn and recorded to ensure that any remaining monies are awarded. In the event this process does not result in all prize monies being awarded, they will be awarded in the unclaimed prize draw as per the details set out in clause 27 below.
• To be a valid winner, each entrant who receives a call during a live broadcast of The Today Show as set out in clauses 10 and 11 above must comply with the following requirements (“Valid Winner Requirements”):
• The entrant must answer their call within three (3) full rings.
• Upon answering the call, the entrant must state “I wake up with Today” (or any alternative phrase as deemed suitable by the Promoter in its absolute discretion).
• The entrant must answer the phone live when called. No recording devices including, but not limited to, answering machines will be accepted.
• If a representative of the entrant answers the fixed line telephone and/or mobile telephone number from which the entry was originally received, and fulfills the Valid Winner Requirements, that representative has the right to win on behalf of, and subject to the agreement of, the entrant as deemed suitable by the Promoter in its absolute discretion. In this event, the representative will be taken to be the winner of the relevant Draw Period. If the entrant does not agree to his/her representative winning the prize on the entrant’s behalf, that prize will be forfeited in whole and no substitute or compensation will be offered to the entrant or their representative.
• The final decision in determining whether or not an entrant has answered the phone in a manner that satisfies the Valid Winner Requirements, will remain at all times with the Promoter and will be determined by the Executive Producer of The Today Show or their nominated representative on the day. No correspondence will be entered into. The Promoter advises that entrants must take care in preparing to answer their call correctly (including but not limited to ensuring that the entrant’s phone is close within reach at all times). For the removal of doubt, the Promoter is neither responsible nor liable for any loss or damage suffered in the event that the entrant is unable to correctly answer the call as required.
• If the entrant does not satisfy the Valid Winner Requirements, that entrant will not be a valid winner. In this case, the prize that was available for the relevant Draw Period will be forfeited and will go into the next prize pool for the next drawn entrant. An entrant who forfeits a prize under this clause will not be offered any substitute or compensation.
• In the event that any broadcasts of The Today Show are changed, delayed or cancelled for any reason, the winner announcements that were scheduled for that broadcast will be carried out in the next show broadcasted on the next business day.
• The Promoter reserves the right, at any time, to verify the validity of entries and entrants (including an entrant’s identity, age and place of residence) and reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual who the Promoter has reason to believe has breached any of these Terms and Conditions, tampered with the entry process including but not limited to tampering by way of use of techniques designed to avoid the payment of SMS or 1-90 call costs or engaged in any unlawful or other improper misconduct calculated to jeopardise fair and proper conduct of the promotion. Errors and omissions may be accepted at the Promoter’s discretion. Failure by the Promoter to enforce any of its rights at any stage does not constitute a waiver of those rights. The Promoter’s legal rights to recover damages or other compensation from such an offender are reserved.
• If there is a dispute as to the identity of an entrant, the Promoter reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine the identity of the entrant.
• If any winner of any prize is under the age of 18 years, the prize will be awarded to the winner’s nominated parent or guardian on the winner’s behalf.
• It is a condition of participation that a winner will be required to sign legal releases in any form to be determined by the Promoter at its absolute discretion.
• The Promoter and/or the program producer reserve the right to terminate any entrant’s call if, in their sole discretion, they believe that the entrant is being in any way impolite, abusive or offensive and to prohibit any such entrant from future entry to the promotion during the entire Promotional Period. Any such entrant’s entries in the promotion will also be deemed invalid.
PRIZES
• In each Draw Period, one (1) entrant will have the opportunity to win a minimum of $10,000.
• Any monies that are not won will be added to the next call or Draw Period as applicable. The minimum prize value per Draw Period is $10,000 and the maximum prize value for the final Draw Period will be $700,000 (for the removal of doubt the maximum prize value would only be awarded if no valid winners were determined during Draw Periods 1 through 69 or the first call in Draw Period 70).
• The maximum total prize pool for the promotion is $700,000.
• Cash prizes will be awarded in the form of a cheque made in favour of the winner. Prizes will be sent to the winner’s last known address within 28 days of broadcast of the episode of The Today Show program for the relevant Draw Period.
• In the event of a prize that is either (a) won in any Draw Period but not claimed by the process set out in clause 11 above in regards to Draw Period 60 results in no winner, the unclaimed prize will be redrawn on 16/11/17 at 4:30 pm AEST at Mercury, Level 1, 16 Anster Street, South Adelaide SA 5000. Winners, if any, will be contacted in writing within two (2) business days of the draw and their names will be published in The Australian on 20/11/17.
