jurisdiction that deems him/her to be a minor) will be notified by phone (email
if phone number was not provided on registration) within two (2) weeks of the
drawing date. If a potential winner
cannot be reached after a reasonable effort has been exerted, if he/she is
found to be ineligible, if he/she cannot or does not comply with these Official
Rules, or if his/her prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable,
such potential winner will be disqualified, and an alternate potential winner
for such prize may be selected at Sponsor’s sole discretion.
5. Prizes/Odds of Winning.
Twelve (12) Prizes (one (1) prize for each of the twelve (12) monthly
sweepstakes): Each Prize is a Trip to be shared by winner and one (1) guest
(“Guest”) to Los Angeles, CA consisting of round-trip coach-class air
transportation from a major commercial airport near winner’s residence (as
determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion) to Los Angeles, CA; standard
hotel accommodations (single room/double occupancy) for three (3) nights; $800
spending money which will be provided in the form of a check made out to
winner; the opportunity for winner only to attend and audition for a chance to
be a contestant on the Wheel of Fortune show (‘Audition”); and ground
transportation to/from hotel and location of Audition. Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) of each
Prize is: $2,500. Odds of winning a
prize depend on the total number of eligible Sweepstakes Entries completed /
received for that particular monthly sweepstakes. Additional compensation will not be provided
if value of prize is less than stated ARV.
Sponsor reserves the right to award trip “as is” and to structure travel
route in its sole discretion. Air
transportation provided only if a winner does not reside within 100 miles of Los Angeles, CA. Trip may not be exchanged for another
destination except by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Round-trip coach-class air transportation
element will generally begin and end at a major commercial U.S. airport near
winner’s hometown (at Sponsor’s sole discretion). In order to attend Audition, each winner must
travel during the Show’s production / Audition schedule and on dates selected
by Sponsor at its sole discretion, subject to availability and production
exigencies. YOU CAN ONLY BE A CONTESTANT
ON WHEEL OF FORTUNE ONCE IN YOUR LIFETIME.
ELIGIBILITY FOR AUDITION AND TO BE A CONTESTANT ON WHEEL OF FORTUNE IS
ALSO SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS AVAILABLE AT THE “CONTESTANTS
AND TICKETS” SECTION OF THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE WEB SITE (HTTP://WWW.WHEELOFFORTUNE.COM) WHICH
IS MADE A PART OF THESE OFFICIAL RULES AND INCORPORATED HEREIN BY
REFERENCE. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
WINNERS TO REVIEW THOSE CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS LISTED ON THE
AFOREMENTIONED WEB PAGE TO DETERMINE THEIR ELIGIBILITY TO BE A CONTESTANT ON
WHEEL OF FORTUNE. A WINNER’S OPPORTUNITY
TO AUDITION AND ANY POSSIBLE SUBSEQUENT APPEARANCE ON THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE SHOW
ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO PRODUCER’S REQUIREMENTS AND SOLE DISCRETION, AND, PRIOR TO
AUDITION, EACH WINNER WILL BE REQUIRED TO SIGN PRODUCER’S FULL STANDARD RELEASE
AND TO SUBMIT TO PRODUCER’S STANDARD INTERVIEW AND SCREENING PROCESS AND ANY
OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION. IF A
WINNER CANNOT TAKE PRIZE IN CONJUNCTION WITH AUDITION DESIGNATED BY SPONSOR, AT
ITS SOLE DISCRETION, OR IS INELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN AUDITION AS DESCRIBED
ABOVE, SUCH WINNER WILL HAVE ONE (1) YEAR FROM NOTIFICATION OF WINNING TO TAKE
TRIP WITHOUT WHEEL OF FORTUNE PRIZE COMPONENTS.
AUDITION DOES NOT GUARANTEE AN APPEARANCE ON THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE SHOW. IF A WINNER PASSES AUDITION AND IS ASKED TO
BE A CONTESTANT, SUCH WINNER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL EXPENSES ASSOCIATED
WITH BEING A CONTESTANT ON THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE SHOW (E.G., TAPE DATE FOR A
WINNER WHO IS ASKED TO BE A CONTESTANT WILL NOT OCCUR DURING THIS PRIZE TRIP
AND SUCH WINNER WILL BE REQUIRED TO ARRANGE AND PAY FOR HIS/HER TRAVEL IF
HE/SHE WANTS TO BE A CONTESTANT). All
trips are subject to air/ground travel availability, hotel availability, and
black-out dates and are subject to the specific terms and conditions set forth
by travel prize suppliers and Sponsor. Once
travel has been confirmed, any cancellation or change fees or restructuring of
travel are the sole responsibility of such winner and his/her Guest as
applicable. Each winner must
have/present at least one major credit card in good standing in order to check
into room. Each winner and his/her
respective Guest must travel together on the same itinerary and in the same
class of air travel. If a winner elects
to travel alone, no substitute compensation will be awarded. If a component of a prize is not available
during time of a winner’s trip for whatever reason (e.g.,
postponement/cancellation of Audition), that portion of the prize will be
forfeited, and no compensation will be awarded in lieu thereof. Items not specifically mentioned as being
included as part of a prize are the sole responsibility of each winner and
his/her Guest and may include ground transportation to and from airport,
airport tax, travel tax, travel insurance, room service, laundry service, spa
treatments, meals, alcoholic beverages, hotel incidentals, local and long
distance telephone calls, gratuities, personal items, government fees, and all
other costs and expenses not otherwise mentioned herein. Each winner and his/her Guest are solely
responsible for providing all necessary identification documents. Failure to provide such documents may result
in trip cancellation upon airport check-in.
If a winner is a resident of a jurisdiction that deems him/her to be a
minor, he/she must be accompanied by his/her parent/legal guardian, and such
person must pay his/her own expenses unless deemed to be an allotted
Guest. If a Guest is a resident of a
jurisdiction that deems him/her to be a minor, he/she must be accompanied by his/her
parent/legal guardian, and such person must pay his/her own expenses unless
deemed to be a winner. Attendance at
Audition is available only for winners, unless a winner is a resident of a
jurisdiction that deems him/her to be a minor, in which case he/she must be
accompanied by his/her parent/legal guardian at Audition at such person’s own
expense. The prize restrictions/conditions stated herein are not all-inclusive
and may be subject to additional restrictions/conditions, which may be stated
in the Affidavit/Release (described below) and/or prize travel documents. Terms of Affidavit/Release and any documents
provided by prize suppliers are incorporated herein by reference. All applicable federal, state, and local
taxes on a prize are the sole responsibility of each winner. No substitution, transfer, or redemption of
prize (or prize component) for cash, except that Sponsor, at its sole
discretion, may substitute a prize of equal value due to unavailability of
advertised prize for any reason. Any
depictions of prizes are for illustrative purposes only. Limit one (1) prize per Wheel Watchers Club
member for the entire Sweepstakes Period.
Each winner will receive an IRS Form 1099 from the Sponsor for the

determined by the prize coordinator/supplier, as applicable. The Sweepstakes administrator is not the
supplier or guarantor of any prize.
