The 99.9 THE BUZZ Pro Football Pick ‘Em Contest runs during the NFL’s 18-week regular season (at time of publication of these rules, stated as 9/9/2026 – 1/10/2027, although subject to change depending on the will of the National Football League).
To play, participants must begin by logging onto www.999thebuzz.com and creating an account under the “Pro Football Pick ‘Em” contest website. All participants who register for the contest prior to the first game kicking off on Wednesday September 9 will be eligible to win a $250 gift card to the Burger Bar, 831 College Parkway, Colchester, VT. Winner will be drawn and contacted on, or in the week following, Thursday September 10th. Winner will be chosen at random from all entries received from participating Hall Communications Radio Stations in the Burlington, VT market (WOKO-WKOL-WIZN-WBTZ).
During each week of the NFL season, players will then need to sign in to their account and pick the winners of each game from the slate of matches that week. Picks must be completed prior to the kickoff of each game. Any game not picked by kickoff will result in a ‘loss’ of that game.
Weekly Qualifiers: The player with the most correct picks each week from participating Hall Communications Radio Stations in the Burlington, VT market (WOKO-WKOL-WIZN-WBTZ) will go into the grand prize drawing for a big screen television (approximate value $500) at the end of the regular season (exact size and model still to be determined). If there is a weekly tie, both of those players will advance to the grand prize drawing. In the event a weekly winner does not meet eligibility requirement, or forfeits the prize, a new winner will be drawn from the qualifiers until one is determined.
Cumulative winner: The player with the most cumulative points at the end of the season will win a $1,000.00 cash prize (payable in cash or check). Tie-breaking rules will be determined by our third-party executor of this contest, Dell Sports, and are available in the ‘rules’ section of this contest. In the event the cumulative points winner does not meet eligibility requirements, or forfeits the prize, the second points leader will be chosen as the winner. One cumulative winner will be chosen from those who signed up to play on all participating Hall Communications Radio Stations (WOKO-WKOL-WIZN-WBTZ).
Winners will be announced and contacted no later than five days following the end of the regular season. To be eligible to win the grand prize drawing, you must not have won a prize from 99.9 THE BUZZ in the 90 days prior to the winning announcement. Winners will be responsible for completing a W9 Federal Tax form, if necessary.
If the National Football League regular season is ended prematurely, the contest will end, and winners will be chosen based on the above criteria. If the National Football League regular season is extended past January 10, 2027 for any reason, this contest will remain open until the completion of what the league has determined “the regular season” to be.
No purchase necessary. Anyone is welcome to play, but winners will be chosen from participants who reside in Vermont, or Clinton, Franklin, or Essex County NY, and the Montreal metro area, and points south, in the Province of Quebec and are able to claim their prize at Hall Communications, 70 Joy Drive, South Burlington, VT. No prizes will be mailed. All other Hall Communications general contest rules, and rules for this specific contest applied by Dell Sports, apply.
