I rarely win anything on radio contests. If you're supposed to be caller number 10, I'll usually be the ninth caller. But today, my luck changed.
Our local Fox News radio station has been having people call in to register for a rather nice prize. I happened to be caller number seven about a week ago, and was registered for the drawing for the grand prize.
Well, this morning was the grand prize giveaway. It went something like this. At 7:10AM (to coincide with their station number, 710AM) they would call out a name of someone who had been registered. That person had seven minutes and ten seconds to call in to claim the prize, and if they didn't call in, there were a list of alternates they would use until someone did call in to claim the prize.
So at 7:10 I'm in my car on my way to work, and they said they had the name of the winner, who would have seven minutes and ten seconds to call in and claim the prize. And, much to my surprise, they called my name. It took me 51 seconds to call in, because I was so nervous, I was having trouble hitting the right numbers on my cell phone. And I won!
This is the biggest thing I've ever won, and I am so stoked. Oh, what did I win, you ask? Round trip airline tickets for two and hotel, to New Jersey to go see the Hannity Freedom Concert at Six Flags.
Oh, it's going to be cool. Lots of special guests, including Zell Miller, Ann Coulter, Tom Delay, and Ollie North, just to name a few. The concert is in about a month, so I have to wait awhile, but it will definitely be worth it.
SWEET!!!
