To win the Contest, participants must use the clues provided by the Station to discern the location and identity of the Fugitive.  The Fugitive will be located within the Metro Atlanta Area, which for purposes of this Contest is defined as Cobb, Clayton, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett counties.  Upon correctly locating and identifying the Fugitive, the participant must approach the Fugitive in person and, directly and in reasonably close physical proximity, ask the following question verbatim: “ARE YOU THE Q100 $10,000 FREE MONEY FUGITIVE?” In the event that two or more participants attempt to question the Fugitive at the same time, the Fugitive will determine, in his/her sole discretion, the participant who was first to correctly question the Fugitive.  If the participant has correctly identified and questioned the Fugitive, the Fugitive will respond in the affirmative and provide to the participant a letter on Station letterhead signed by the Station’s Manager, Gary Lewis, which will contain a telephone number and secret password.  To win the Contest and be eligible for the Grand Prize, the participant must within one (1) hour of receiving the letter call the telephone number and provide the secret password in the presence of the Fugitive.  The first participant to correctly complete these steps will be eligible to win the Grand Prize.
