From June 8th, 2026 to July 2nd, 2026, listen to the Spencer Media Group stations (KICD AM; BIG Country 107.7 and MORE 104.9) each weekday for the America 250 – 250 Gallons of Gas contest keyword(s).
Monday – Friday we’ll announce three different keywords in the 8am, 11am and 4pm hours on each station. Once you hear a keyword, go to the station website (www.northwestiowanow.com; www.bigcountry1077.com or www.more1049.com) and complete the registration, including the correct contest keyword, for the chance to become a qualifier. Listeners will have until the end of the day (11:59pm) to enter the 3 daily keywords before they expire. One entry per person, per keyword, per station. The following day, three names will be drawn at random from the previous day’s entries to officially qualify.
The prize is: 250 gallons of gas that will be given away on Friday, July 3rd. One winner will be chosen at random from all the qualifiers to win the 250 gallons of gas. This person will be notified by phone. Winner will receive gas cards to be used in the equivalent of 250 gallons.
This contest will run concurrently and simultaneously with stations (102.5 FM and 1240 AM KICD; BIG Country 107.7 and MORE 104.9). Listeners will, therefore, be competing with listeners of other radio stations to win the same prize. No purchase necessary. In the case of any query or discrepancy, the winner will ultimately be decided at the sole discretion of Saga Communications, Inc. The winner will be required to fill out all paperwork, including the station’s prize release form and W-9.

Listeners may enter on multiple stations’ websites in northwest Iowa, but only one entry per person per day, per keyword, per station.
