This is cool for my wife

Our phone went frantic this morning. A few friends were calling us to tell my wife to hurry up and dial this radio station as her name was called. She made the call just in time and won a hundred bucks. Each hour they call a new name and if the person doesn't make the call in 10 minutes she wins another hundred. We're(she's) up to $300 now. This is pretty neat. It's funny watching the 10 minutes after the call the next person's name. Shoot I was happy with the hundred

    That's awesome! What did she have to do to get in this 'contest'? Or are they just going down the phone book! :p

    luck ran out at $400, next callers mom informed him his name was called. But, hey we're $400 richer. She did offer dinner but that's about it. I'm happy for her.
