How to Enter for a Chance to Win
The WBEN-FM  Hundred Dollar Hits events will be open to all those in attendance at any WBEN-FM promotional appearance that has been identified as a Hundred Dollar Hits appearance either on-air on 95.7 WBEN-FM or online at ilikebenfm.com .  Hundred Dollar Hits events will occur throughout 2011, unless otherwise announced.

Throughout a qualifying appearance, those in attendance will have up to one (1) opportunity to attempt to win $100 in cash.  Contestants will be given the opportunity to correctly identify the name of the song and performing artist for three different sets of lyrics that will be read aloud to them.  If they correctly identify each artist and each song for all three sets of lyrics, they will win $100.  If a contestant does not guess both the name of the artist and the name of the song that corresponds to the lyrics they were just read, their guess will be considered incorrect. 

Song lyrics will be divided into three categories:  Rock Legend, Pop Sensation, or One Hit Wonder. The type of lyrics that will be read to each contestant will be determined by the contestant spinning the WBEN-FM Hundred Dollar Hits wheel.  The contestant will be read lyrics, and will have to identify song titles and artists, from the category on which the wheel lands. 

If the contestant does not correctly identify the artist and the name of the song that corresponds to the lyrics they were just read, their turn is over and they will not be given another opportunity to win during that particular promotional appearance.  If the contestant correctly identifies the artist and the name of the song that corresponds to the lyrics they were just read, they will get to spin the wheel again for a total of up to three (3) sets of lyrics and guesses.  If the contestant correctly identifies the artist and the name of the song for all three sets of lyrics, s/he will be awarded $100 in cash.

Only one (1) contestant per appearance will be able to win.  Once a contestant has won $100 at that particular appearance, the Hundred Dollar Hits portion of the appearance will end.  Otherwise, the Hundred Dollar Hits contest will continue until the appearance concludes or until WBEN-FM announces that the contest is ending.  Contestants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis and may be asked to register with the WBEN-FM representative on-site before participating.

Prize
