Any individual claiming to be the entrant whose name was announced during a call-in opportunity will need to verify his or her registration information, including the email address on his or her registration form, in order to claim his or her prize. In the event that multiple prize claims are made by individuals with the same name in response to a prize announcement, the prize will go to the individual whose email address matches the email address specified on the entry form randomly drawn as the potential winner for such announcement, subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules. No family members, friends, office associates, or any other person will be allowed to participate in the Contest on another person's behalf.
Eligible individuals who listen to Sponsor’s station audio via IP connections such as website-based streaming or mobile devices are welcome to call-in.

By entering this Contest, listeners acknowledge their understanding and agreement to this specific provision within these Official Rules. In addition, Sponsor will not be responsible for loss of service to the Contest Line or for a participant’s failure to reach the Contest Line due to malfunction of any network or system, congestion, overload, busy signals, human or technical error, or any other factor that may prevent an individual from completing his/her phone call. In the event of interruption of power or telephone service to Sponsor during the McDonald’s Wake-Up Call, or a change in programming that results in Sponsor’s inability to air the McDonald’s Wake-Up Call, the call-in period affected by the interruption may or may not be replayed at the resumption of service, in Sponsor’s sole discretion. Sponsor is not responsible for an error in programming or any other factor that may prevent the McDonald’s Wake-Up Call from airing. Sponsor is also not responsible for dropped calls from mobile devices or land lines and dropped calls may result in the potential winner’s disqualification and forfeiture of all interest in any prize.
Sponsor will air fifty-two (52) prize announcements during the Contest Period. Sponsor reserves the right to repeat an announcement after it has already aired at 5:50 a.m. (E.T.).
