 SCP-1456 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures Media and advertisements in the city of ████ Colorado are under observation by Foundation personnel for the first stage of SCP-1456. A Foundation outpost disguised as a call center has been established in the town and is operated by Task Force Omega-16, the contestants. The center maintains 160 unique phone numbers, all publicly listed as Agent ████. Upon identification of instances of SCP-1456-1, the numbers presented is immediately called a sequence in order to intercept prize instances. Agent ███████ listed residents in a block radius as to be monitored during active phases. A localized media campaign designed to discourage the population from entering the contest presented by SCP-1456-1 has been running for 16 years. Description SCP-1456 is a series of anomalous phone-in contests advertised in print, radio, local television, and billboards. The advertisements vary considerably in content, claiming to represent organizations both fictional and real presenting a contest or contest promising financial or physical prizes to winning colors. These will predominantly feature a unique phone number. Collectively, these advertisements are referred to as instances of SCP-1456-1. Instances of SCP-1456-1 appear spontaneously with no discernable external source. Billboards and print examples appear while the medium is unobserved, affecting sets of billboards owned by the same organizations and full runs of local newspapers and periodicals simultaneously. Radio and television instances appear to replace regularly scheduled, legitimate advertisements in either case. No discrepancies have been noted by the owners or operators of the transmission medium. Calling the number provided by SCP-1456-1 with a local phone number that has not yet been used to call in will result in a win or lose result. Lose results are a simple tone, commonly described as harsh or grating, played three times before disconnection. A win result is a chime sound followed by a male voice announcing you've won. Attempting to call in multiple times with the same number will result in a continuous and increasingly loud instance of the lose sound, escalating with no known upper limit until the phone is disconnected. Three days after a successful win result, a prize loosely consistent with the advertised prize will be delivered to the winner, defined as the owner of the phone number used to make the winning call. The prize appears at the residence of the winner through various means depending on the contents by methods both mundane and anomalous. Sample prize instances for a full list of recovered prize instances refer to document 1456-A.
