SELECTION OF WINNERS
9. BLOCK OF CASH GIVEAWAY:
a. All phone calls to valid drawn entrants will be made during the live broadcast of
the Today Show on the dates stipulated in Table A.
b. For draw periods 1 through 19 inclusive, the Promoter will randomly draw one (1) entrant from all valid entries registered in the Draw Period. One entrant will be called each day. All drawn entrants will be called during the live broadcast on the dates stipulated within Table A for their chance to win. If the drawn entrant called satisfies Condition 13 they will be confirmed as the prize winner for that Draw Period of the Block Cash Giveaway and be awarded the prize available to them. If the drawn entrant does not satisfy Condition 13 (or is otherwise not a valid entrant to the Competition), the prize that was available for this person will be forfeited and will go into the next Draw Period’s prize pool.
c. For Draw Period 20, the Promoter will randomly select fifteen (15) entrants from all valid entries registered in the Draw Period and record the order in which entries were drawn. One (1) entrant will be called on the broadcast date stipulated in Table A for their chance to win. If the drawn entrant called satisfies Condition 13 they will be confirmed as the prize winner for Draw Period 20 and be awarded the prize available to them. If the drawn entrant does not satisfy Condition 13 (or is otherwise not a valid entrant to the Competition), then the Promoter will call the remaining 14 entrants in the order they were drawn and recorded to ensure that all remaining monies are awarded. In the event this process does not result in all monies being awarded, they will be awarded in the unclaimed prize draw as set out in Condition 35.
10. BONUS CASH CALL:
a. All phone calls to valid drawn entrants will be made during the live broadcast of
the Today Show between Monday 15th September – Friday 10th October at a time between 0530-0900 AEST/AEDST. The Today Show will determine what day and time the bonus cash call will be made.
b. The Promoter will randomly draw five (5) entrants from all valid entries registered in the Draw Period (for the avoidance of doubt, after the draw for the Block Cash Giveaway conducted on the same date) and record the order in which entries were drawn which could be drawn any day between Monday 15th August – Thursday 9th October at 17:00 AEST/AEDST. The first valid drawn entrant will be called for a Bonus Cash call. If the entrant called satisfies Condition 13 they will be confirmed as the prize winner for that Draw Period of the Bonus Cash call. If the drawn entrant does not satisfy Condition 13 (or is otherwise not a valid entrant to the Competition), then the Promoter will call the remaining four (4) entrants in the order they were drawn and recorded to ensure that all remaining monies are awarded. In the event this process does not result in all monies being awarded, they will be awarded in the unclaimed prize draw as set out in Condition 35.
c. Once the winner has answered the phone call correctly in accordance with Condition 13, the hosts of the Today Show will spin a money wheel broken up into 10 sections marked with values $1,000, $2,000, $3,000, $4,000, $5,000, $6,000, $7,000, $8,000, $9,000 and $10,000. The section of the wheel onto which the tab lands will determine the winner’s prize money. Winners have a 1 in 10 chance of winning each value marked on a section of the wheel.
11. The Promoter reserves the right to draw additional reserve entries (and record them in order), in the event that an invalid entry is drawn or an entrant drawn is ineligible.
12. An entrant (except residents of SA, due to SA legislation) is limited to being drawn once during the course of the Competition.
13. 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.
14. To be a valid winner:
a. The entrants called must answer this call within five (5) rings.
b. Upon answering the call, the entrants must state “I Wake up with Today” (or alternative phrase as deemed suitable by the Promoter in its absolute discretion).
c. If a representative of the initial entrant answers the fixed line telephone and/or mobile telephone number from which the entry was originally received, and fulfills the criteria by answering with “I Wake up with Today” that representative also has a right to win on behalf of, and subject to the agreement with, the original entrant as deemed suitable by the Promoter in its absolute discretion. In this event, both the representative and the entrant are deemed entrants and clause 11 applies to both the entrant and the representative.
d. The person must answer the phone live when called. No recording devices including but not limited to answering machines will be accepted.
The final decision in determining whether or not an entrant has answered the phone in a manner in which deems them valid to be considered a winner, will remain at all times with the Promoter and will be determined by the Executive Producer of the Today Show or his nominated representative on the day. No correspondence will be entered into. The Promoter advises that the entrant take care in preparing to answer the call correctly (including but not limited to ensuring that the entrants’ 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.
15. If the entrant does not qualify as outlined above in Condition 14, that entrant will not be a valid winner.
16. In the event that any of the Today Show programs are changed delayed or cancelled, the winner announcements that were scheduled for that broadcast will be carried out in the next show broadcasted during the promotional period.
17. The Promoter reserves the right to request that winners provide proof of identity. Identification considered suitable for verification is at the discretion of the Promoter.
18. 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.
