Has anyone here ever won a radio station contest before?

I haven't, personally, but a friend of my wife's has an interesting story about a radio station contest. Apparently, my wife's friend called our local rock station and won tickets to an upcoming NASCAR race. However, the station was running a "Blind Date" feature, so they had one male winner and one female. Since she was already married, my wife's friend gave the ticket to her mother and the mom went on this station-sponsored NASCAR-race blind date. Fast forward to today and those two are happily married! Can you believe it?? What are the odds?!

Too darn funny... and who would want to go to a Nascar race as a blind date? Where is the radio station. I guess Nascar is not that big here where I live. I've tried to win many radio station contest.

Let's chat!

I heard somewhere that it helps if you have a stations number on speed dial it helps increase your odds, but there's still no guarantee. It sounds like too much of a hassle to me.

I haven't ever won anything, but my hubby did. I think it might have been a tv station though. We won the tickets and had to drive to the station (about 60 miles away) to pick them up. Then the truck broke down on the way home...nothing in life is "free".

That's a great story. I have never won a radio contest, mainly because I don't listen to the radio all too much. I do remember trying to participate in one when I was a teen, though. It involved driving around my town and attempting to locate a hidden thousand dollars!
