Eligibility
Subject to the additional restrictions below, the KHIS October Share A Thon (the “Sweepstakes”) is open to legal U.S. residents who are 18 years or older and are physically located in the U.S. at the time of entry. Employees of Pure Word Communications, dba KHIS Radio (“Sponsor”), and each of their respective affiliated companies, subsidiaries, and advertising and promotional agencies, and the family members of, and any persons domiciled with, any such employees, are not eligible to enter or to win. The term “family members” includes spouses, parents, grandparents, siblings, children, wards, grandchildren, and in-laws, regardless of where they live.
How to Enter
The Sweepstakes will begin at 12:01 AM CT on October 1, 2023, and end at 6:00 PM CT on October 31, 2023 (the “Sweepstakes Period”). Sponsor will be the official timekeeper for the Sweepstakes. By entering this Sweepstakes, you agree to these Official Rules. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any entries by persons who submit false or misleading entry information or who Sponsor determines to be tampering with or abusing any aspect of the Sweepstakes. Prizes will be awarded throughout the share a thon. During the share a thon, website and/or on-air announcements will be made of a time period during which specific prizes will be awarded (each a “prizing opportunity”). All persons who make a donation during the announced period will be eligible to win the announced prize, as will all other persons who have registered during that same time period to be eligible to win the prize without making a donation. Each person who donates during the prizing opportunity will have one entry, as will each person who registers to win during that same announced period. Multiple entries in any prizing opportunity are not permitted. Unless notified otherwise, winners will be chosen at random by Sponsor from among those who entered during the prizing opportunity. Note that the KHIS Share A Thon is occurring over the air and on the internet stream, so entries will be received from throughout the country and potentially from those legal U.S. residents listening outside the US. Your chances to win will depend on how many eligible participants there are during any prizing opportunity.
No donation is required to be entered into the sweepstakes. Enter without making a donation by calling (573) 651-0899. By participating in the Sweepstakes, you agree to be bound by the sponsor’s Terms of Service, and Privacy Policy which are hereby incorporated by reference.
Individuals may enter each prizing opportunity, but multiple entries by means of software-generated or other automated processes will be disregarded.
The use of multiple identities and/or accounts is prohibited, and any attempt to obtain more than the stated number of entries will void that participant’s entries and will result in participant’s disqualification. Incomplete, forged, altered, automated, mechanically reproduced, lost, late misdirected, garbled or illegible entries will be disqualified. Sponsor will not be responsible for failure to receive entries due to transmission failures or technical failures of any kind, including, without limitation, malfunctioning of any network, hardware or software, whether originating with sender, Sponsor, or Sponsor’s Sweepstakes application service provider. In the event of a dispute, all online entries will be deemed to have been submitted by the owner of the ISP account from which they were sent, provided that such person satisfies all other Sweepstakes eligibility requirements. For these purposes, an ISP account holder shall mean the natural person assigned to such ISP account by the Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning ISP addresses for the domain associated with such ISP account.
All entries become property of Sponsor and none will be returned. Any questions regarding the number of entries submitted or the owner of an ISP account shall be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, and Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any entries by persons who submit false or misleading entry information or who Sponsor determines to be tampering with or abusing any aspect of the Sweepstakes.
Winner Selection and Odds
Immediately upon the conclusion of the prizing opportunity, Sponsor will select one (1) potential prize winner in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received. Limit: One (1) prize per person during the Sweepstakes Period. The description of prizes, the fulfillment and award notification are described below. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received.
Prize Description
Prizes will be fulfilled approximately three (3) weeks after the conclusion of the Sweepstakes.
The Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) of prizes is subject to price fluctuations in the consumer marketplace based on, among other things, any gap in time between the date the ARV is estimated for purposes of these Official Rules and the date the prize is awarded or redeemed. Winners will not receive the difference between the actual retail value at the beginning of the Sweepstakes and the actual retail value at the time of prize delivery.

Sponsor will not be liable if the Trip/Event, or any portion of it, is cancelled or delayed. Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, attempt to reschedule for a future trip/event. Trip/Event tickets are subject to certain terms and conditions as specified by issuer. The terms and conditions of the Trip/Event tickets may govern if the Trip/Event is cancelled due to weather, an act of God, an act of terrorism, civil disturbance, or any other reason. Sponsor is not responsible for, and will not replace, lost, mutilated, or stolen Trip/Event tickets, vouchers, or certificates, no cash substitution shall be offered, and the Sponsor shall have no further responsibility for that portion of the prize.

Sponsor’s inability to reach a potential winner after a reasonable (as solely determined by Sponsor) effort has been made, the failure of a potential winner to timely respond to a prize notification, the return of any prize notification as undeliverable, the inability of winner and his/her guest to travel within the time period specified by Sponsor, and/or a potential winner’s failure to comply with any term or condition of these Official Rules may, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, result in the potential winner’s disqualification, after which the prize shall be unawarded for the Sweepstakes.
ALL POTENTIAL WNNERS ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY THE SPONSOR. THE DECISION OF THE SPONSOR IS FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE CONTEST. A PARTICIPANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE UNLESS AND UNTIL SPONSOR HAS COMPLETED ITS VERIFICATION OF PARTICIPANT’S ELIGIBILITY.

A winner may waive the right to receive a prize. Prizes are non-assignable and non-transferable and cannot be redeemed for cash. No substitutions allowed by winner.
