Station will number pieces of paper from 1 to 99 and place in a bucket.

On or around 5:30pm MT on December 15, 2022, Station will select one (1) entry to be a Qualifier in a random drawing from among all entries received by Station at that day’s remote broadcast. If less than 99 entries are present and checked in at 5:30pm MT, Station will select additional entries to be Qualifiers from all valid entries received by Station at that day’s remote broadcast so that there are 99 total Qualifiers. Once all 99 Qualifiers have selected a number, Qualifiers will line up in numerical order from 1 to 99, and one by one, in numerical order, choose a stocking. Once all Qualifiers have their stockings, they will open their stockings. All 99 stockings will contain candy, and one (1) stocking will also contain the Grand Prize (as defined below). Each Qualifier will be contacted using the email address and/or telephone number provided with the entry and may be awarded the prize (subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with the terms of these rules). Station’s decisions as to the administration and operation of the Contest and the selection of the potential winner are final and binding in all matters related to the Contest. Failure to respond to the initial verification contact within three (3) days of notification or failure to claim the prize within three (3) days of verification as a winner will result in disqualification and forfeiture of the prize.
