How does KSON's Double Your Paycheck work?
KSON will announce one name, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 8:15am, 12:15pm and 4:15pm.

On Thursdays, KSON will announce one name per hour, EVERY HOUR from 8:15am to 5:15pm.

The person whose name is announced over the air has 30 minutes to call 570-1973 (from any San Diego County area code) to win their prize. KSON will double the weekly paycheck of each winner by matching one week’s gross salary up to $1,250.

Do I have to re-signup for Double Your Paycheck?
We never take anyone out of Double Your Paycheck so if you registered previously, you are still eligible. However, if you want to be eligible for Thursdays in hours other than what you registered for, you should sign up again. (For instance, if you registered for 8:15am and 12:15pm previously, those are the only hours on Thursday where you name could be called.)
Go to our signup form, which will also allow you to verify your entry if you entered previously..

Any restrictions on who can play?
You must be 18 years of age or older, and a San Diego County Resident.

If a friend or family member hears my name, can they call for me?
No, only the person whose name is called is eligible for the prize.

Do you post a list of names that have been called?
No, for security reasons we don't list the names.

If you call my name, and I don't call, could my name be called again?
Yes, a name can be called more than once. We do not remove names from the contest once they have been called.

How many times can I win?
Since we never remove names from the contest, your name could be randomly chosen again. There is no restriction on the number of times you can win.

How do you determine how much I win?
KSON will determine the winner’s weekly salary by averaging the winner’s previous 5 weekly pay stubs. (If the winner is paid on a 2-week period, the previous two pay stubs will be averaged). Pay stubs must be dated from the 3-week period prior to winning the contest.

What if I am currently unemployed?
You would receive the minimum prize amount of $500.

What if I'm retired, or a homemaker?
You would receive the minimum prize amount of $500.

What if I work, but make less than $500 a week?
You would still receive the minimum prize amount of $500.

What is the most I can receive?
We match one week's gross salary up to $1,250.

Will you take taxes out of my winnings?
No, that's up to you. By law, though, we are required to report the amount you win if it's more than $600 annually.
