96.3 Again, Whoot!


WDVD, 96.3 .... that's usually what I listen to at work. They play hits of the 80's, 90's, and today's top overkill. Like all radio stations, they are forever running contests.

I used to say I never win at anything, but last March, I was the 96th caller and won a $285 Dooney & Burke purse with $1,000 in it. (Yeah, I know, I'll get 1099'd for it)

The latest contest has been to guess four numbers, in their correct order and win $10,000 shopping spree at Art Van Furniture Store. Over the past couple weeks, callers have been able to narrow it down to the numbers 7,3,8,and 9, but nobody has guessed in the correct order. I have my little list of guesses on my desk, there have been about 12-15 combinations guessed so far. Yesterday afternoon, when they announced "be the 96th caller...." I decided to try my luck. I was the 96th caller. My guess of 9873 was wrong, the good part though, I won a $100 gift card to Art Van. I'll keep trying, I need, ahem "living room furniture".

Too bad...that would be great fun to pick living room furniture at no cost to yourself!

Nothing brings Shark Week up close and personal like a big flat screen TV.

I'm sitting here with my mouth open about the purse (!!) with the money inside!! For someone who would never win anything you did very well indeed!!

I never win anything. I got a parking ticket not long ago, does that count?

Talk about luck...you should play the lottery next.

How funny, I've been listening to 96.3 too, but here it's RAM FM, a non-partisan station out of Ramallah (in the Palestinian Authority). They started broadcasting this summer and are the only full-time English station around.

I never win nuttin'. Some people win the football pots at work every week! I gave up playing at all. When I was playing the lottery, I gave them, like, hundreds and hundreds of $$$ and won a total of maybe $200. Others would buy one stinkin' ticket and win a huge pot! So I quit playing that too. Probably saved myself tons.

Congrats to you anyway!!
