SELECTION OF WINNERS
8. All phone calls to entrants will be made during the live broadcast of the Today Show on
the date stipulated in Table A. For draw periods 1 through 13 inclusive, the Promoter will

11. An entrant (except residents of SA, due to SA legislation) is limited to being drawn once
during the course of the Competition.
12. 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. If the entrant called satisfies Condition 13 they will be confirmed as the
prize winner for that Draw Period.
13. To be a valid winner:
a. The entrant called must answer this call within five (5) rings
b. Upon answering the call, the entrant must state “I Wake up with Today” (or
alternative phrase as deemed suitable by the Promoter in its absolute discretion).
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 fulfils
this 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.
c. 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
14. If the entrant does not qualify as outlined above in Condition 13, that entrant will not be a
valid winner and will be awarded a consolation prize of $500 Inc GST. In this case, the
major prize that was available for this person will be forfeited and will go into the next
prize pool for the next drawn entrant.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. 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.
PRIZES
18. In each draw two (2) entrants will have the opportunity to win a minimum of $5,000. Any
monies that are not won during any Draw Period will be added to the next Draw Period.
