- Visit www.onlyong.com from 12:00am EST on February 2, 2010 through 11:59pm EST on February 28, 2010 and click on the “Pieces of Rock” graphic and follow submission instructions. Each entrant will be directed to a page on the Ohio Natural Gas (“ONG”) website to participate in the 2010 Pieces of Rock Sweepstakes.

Enter your first and last name, complete address, city, state, zip code, home telephone number, birth date, and valid email address, then complete the Pieces of Rock game, a three-dimensional glass pyramid presented on the ONG website. Entrants are limited to one entry per person, per email address. All entries must be received by 11:59pm EST on February 28, 2010. For purposes of these Official Rules, “receipt” of an online entry will be solely determined when the www.onlyong.com web server records the entry information. Any automated computer receipt (such as one confirming delivery of email) does not constitute actual receipt of an entry form for purposes of these Official Rules. ONG’s computer is the official time keeping device for this sweepstakes. Use of any device to automate entry is prohibited.
- ONG is not responsible for entries not timely received due to difficulty accessing the Internet or ONG’s website, service outage or delays, computer difficulties or other technological glitches.
- ELIGIBILITY: The sweepstakes is open to Ohio residents who reside in the Dominion East of Ohio and Vectren Delivery of Ohio service territories. Employees of ONG, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, and all affiliated companies (and the immediate family members of all such employees, and all others with whom they are domiciled) are not eligible to participate or win. The term “immediate family members” includes spouses, parents, grandparents, siblings, children, and grandchildren. No person may win more than once or receive more than one prize for participating in this sweepstakes.

- From all qualified entries, the entrant who has the most album covers correct in the Pieces of Rock game will win the grand prize, provided that if more than one entrant has the same number of album covers correct, then one (1) winner will be selected by ONG at random from all qualified tied entries.

- All prizes are subject to availability, blackout dates and other restrictions/conditions. Once hotel or air transportation has been booked, no extension, modification or substitution is permitted, except at ONG’s sole discretion. If a guest of a winner is a resident of a jurisdiction that deems him/her to be a minor, he/she must be accompanied by his/her parent/legal guardian, and such person must pay his/her own expenses unless deemed to be a winner. Each winner of a prize is solely responsible for all other unspecified costs, incidentals and expenses, including, but not limited to, any unspecified ground or air transportation, meals, gratuities, phone calls, insurance and other expenses not specifically mentioned as being included. Other restrictions may apply.
- If due to circumstances beyond the control of ONG any prize-related event is delayed, rescheduled, postponed or cancelled, ONG reserves the right, but shall not be obligated, to cancel or modify the sweepstakes or award a substitute prize in its sole discretion.
- ODDS: The odds of winning depend on the number of qualified entries received.
- WINNER NOTIFICATION AND ACCEPTANCE:
- Each winner may waive his or her right to receive a prize. No entrant needs to be present to win. No prize may be assigned or transferred. No substitutions allowed, except that each prize is subject to availability and ONG reserves the right to substitute prizes of equal or greater value at its sole discretion. Each winner is solely responsible for the reporting and payment of any taxes on a prize. As a condition of receiving his or her prize, each winner will be required to provide valid government-issued photo identification and complete an affidavit of eligibility and a liability and publicity release, which must be signed and delivered prior to any delivery of a prize. Failure to sign the affidavit or release, or to comply with any term or condition of these Official Rules, may, at the sole discretion of ONG, result in the winner's disqualification and the forfeiture of his or her interest in a prize. Except where prohibited, participation in the sweepstakes constitutes the winner's consent to the publication of his or her name and image in on-air promotional announcements and other promotional material from ONG and to the inclusion of his or her name and image in any other related publications or Web sites for any commercial or promotional purpose, without limitation or additional compensation. The winners’ names may be obtained by sending a request with self-addressed, stamped envelope to Ohio Natural Gas c/o 2010 Pieces of Rock Sweepstakes, P.O. Box 14657 Cleveland, Ohio 44114.
- Winners will be contacted by ONG via telephone call.

After ONG has made contact with the winners, each winner will receive an official communication via email or mail on how to redeem the prize.
