Promotion Period: The Promotion begins at 9:59 PM (ET) on Thursday, October 4, 2007 and ends at 11:59PM (ET) on Wednesday, December 19, 2007 (the "Promotion Period").

How to Enter: This Promotion consists of individual weekly promotions (each, a "Weekly Promotion") and one (1) Grand Prize Promotion ("Grand Prize Promotion"). The Weekly Promotion will begin during each first run episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent (the "Show") broadcast during each week of the Promotion Period (check local listings for dates and times when first run episodes of the Show, if any, will be aired) and will end the following Wednesday at 11:59 pm (ET) (each, a "Weekly Promotion Period"). (The total number of Weekly Promotion Periods will equal the number of first run episodes of the Show broadcast throughout the Promotion Period.) At a predetermined time in the broadcast viewers will be invited to answer a weekly question ("Weekly Question"). All viewers who respond to such an invitation (a "Promotional Spot Invitation") by answering a Weekly Question will be entered into that respective week's Weekly Prize Drawing ("Weekly Prize Drawing") as well as the Grand Prize Drawing, regardless of whether the answer to the Weekly Question is correct. The Weekly Question will also be posted on ci.usanetwork.com (the "Website").

How To Enter by Cell Phone: If you have a text messaging capable cell phone from a participating carrier, you may enter each Weekly Drawing and the Grand Prize by answering the Weekly Question, once prompted to do so during a Promotional Spot Invitation, by subscribing to the Law & Order: Criminal Intent Mobile Program by texting "LOCI" to the short code USATXT and answering the Weekly Question once it is sent to your cell phone ("Invitational Text Message") with your response to the Weekly Question from the letter choices that will be presented with the Weekly Question. (The Weekly Question will also be posted on the Website.) For example, you will be sent the Invitational Text Message with the Weekly Question and you will answer back with the letter corresponding to your answer to the Weekly Question that is posed. For each response to a Weekly Question submitted via text messaging, you will receive one (1) entry into that respective week's Weekly Prize Drawing to select ten (10) Weekly Winners (i.e., for that week) and one (1) entry into the Grand Prize to select one (1) Grand Prize Winner. Once a Weekly Question has been posed during a first run episode of the Show or has been announced on the Website, viewers may answer the Weekly Question until 11:59 pm ET on the Wednesday following the first run episode of the Show in which the same Weekly Question was first posed. For example, if a first run episode of the Show airs on a Thursday night at 10:00pm, you may answer the Weekly Question from Thursday at the time the Weekly Question is announced (i.e., on-air and/or on the Website) through the following Wednesday at 11:59pm. You may unsubscribe to the Law & Order: Criminal Intent Mobile Program at any time by texting CIEND to USATXT.

Free Method of Entry Online: To enter the Promotion and the Weekly and Grand Prize Drawings without using a text messaging capable cell phone, visit ci.usanetwork.com and complete the online registration, including the letter for the answer to the Weekly Question you wish to submit. Once a Weekly Question has been posed during the first run of an episode of the Show or has been posted on the Website during the Promotion Period, viewers may answer the Weekly Question up until 11:59 pm ET on the Wednesday following the first run episode of the Show in which the same Weekly Question was first posed. For example, if a first run episode of the Show airs on a Thursday night at 10:00 pm, you may answer the Weekly Question from Thursday at the time the Weekly Question is announced (i.e., on-air and/or on the Website) through the following Wednesday at 11:59pm.
