Birthday Wheel Contest Rules

 

  1. How to Enter the Contest:

The Birthday Wheel contest will be played weekdays excluding the following Holidays, should they fall on a weekday; New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

To participate in the contest, listen to WLDE to play “The Birthday Wheel” at approximately 6:50am. The announcer will spin the birthday wheel on-air sound effect. Once the date is revealed, the announcer will ask for the first listener with that birthday to call 260-426-5343. The first listener to call in with that birthday will win the prize.

Each birthday is selected at random out of 366 days each time the contest is played. The extra day is leap year, February 29th. A birthday may be selected more than once during a contest year.

 

  1. Eligibility Restrictions:

The contest is open to all WLDE 101.7 listeners that are 18 years of age or older who reside in or live in Allen, Adams, Dekalb, Huntington, Noble, Steuben, Wells and Whitley counties in Indiana and Defiance, Paulding and Van Wert counties in Ohio.
