The Trip Prize shall include the following elements:

• Round-trip, coach-class airline transportation for two (2) people from the major airport nearest Finalist’s city to NYC (if within 250 miles of NYC, rail or ground transportation to be substituted)
• Three (3) nights’ hotel accommodations at a Times Square hotel (selected by Prize Provider in its sole discretion) in NYC (double occupancy, room and tax only)
• Two (2) tickets to a welcome event and group dinner at a venue to be selected by Producer on December 29, 2023
• Two (2) tickets for a private NYC excursion and entertainment experiences to be determined by Producer (e.g., Broadway show, holiday dinner cruise on the Hudson River, etc.) on December 30, 2023

• Spending money in the amount of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000)
• Ground transportation to and from airports, hotel, and activities in NYC

The approximate retail value of the Trip Prize is Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000).

Finalist shall not be required to travel to NYC to participate in the drawing for, and to remain eligible to win, the $1 Million Prize. Finalist may appoint a proxy to take the trip instead, subject to the Trip Prize Terms and Conditions, but Finalist will still remain eligible to win the $1 Million Prize.

Finalist (or their proxy) may also have the opportunity to participate in the recording and production of the Program and/or appear in the broadcast of the Program, provided that Finalist completes and signs all required releases and forms and consents to a background check. If Finalist appoints a proxy, the proxy must complete and sign all required releases and clear the background check in order to take the trip. In the event that Finalist's designated proxy does not clear the background check, Prize Provider reserves the right, in its sole discretion, either to (i) allow Finalist to appoint another proxy to take the trip (subject to background clearance and Prize Provider deadlines); or (ii) allow proxy to travel and to appoint a second proxy (selected by Prize Provider) to participate in the Program.

For the avoidance of doubt, Finalist's eligibility to participate in the trip and/or the drawing for the $1 Million Prize is not affected by Finalist’s failure to complete and sign all required release and forms and/or to consent to a background check and/or by any information obtained pursuant to a background check, but those failures may affect the nature of their appearance and/or degree of participation in the Program. While Finalist’s eligibility to participate in the drawing for the $1 Million Prize is an element of the Trip Prize, the opportunity to participate in the recording and production of the Program and/or appear in the broadcast of the Program is expressly NOT an element of the Trip Prize and is determined by Prize Provider in its sole discretion. Prize Provider reserves the right to appoint a proxy to appear and participate in the Program for Finalist for any reason as it may determine in its sole discretion. The appointment of any proxy shall not affect Finalist's eligibility for the $1 Million Prize.
