I won a contest on a local radio station..how cool is this ?

[Ms Grumpy]

At about 3pm today I was finishing up some work and getting ready to go pick up my kids from school. I heard my phone go off, and I figured I could get it later, then I thought I would see who it was from. It was from my brother Eric, the one who has helped me with my car. So I figured I would read what he wrote. His message was "Call WCSX. They just called your name for the Workforce".

Now one of the local radio stations here runs a promotion where they put you on their "payroll" and pay you $100.00 an hour. You have just 9 minutes and 47 seconds to call into the radio station when they call your name.

So here it is 3:05pm and I am scrambling to find the phone number. I finally find the number and start calling from my home number. The phone keeps ringing and ringing, and David says, maybe you should try calling from your cell phone. So I did. I was not about to give up, we are talking about 100 bucks !! I saw the clock turn to 3:09 and I was bummed, I tried, but no one answered. But just as I was going to give up, someone answered.

I was so excited, after verifying who I was, I was told that I was the winner. And if no one called in at 4pm, when another name was called, then I would stay on the payroll. Guess what, no one called in at 4pm. The game ends on Friday at 5pm and starts up again on Monday. So, unless someone calls in at 8am on Monday, when another name is called, then I will continue to be on the "payroll".

I just thought this was so cool. And I thought that I would tell you guys. If it were not for my brother, I would have never known. So thanks again Eric, I couldn't ask for a better brother !!!

So if you live in the Metro Detroit area and get 94.7 WCSX, you actually know someone who won. Here is a link if you want to become a member.
