in elementary school we used to have those treat walks. you know, every easter, halloween, christmas, valentines etc the whole class would go to the gym andwalk in a circle of numbers while music was playing. once the music stopped we would stop moving along the circle. then the teachers would draw random numbersand if you were on one of the numbers you would win a prize

i never won anything until the very last year of elementary. i was so happy when i realized i was finally one of the numbers called. the girl in front of mewon a huge teddy bear and someone else got a basket full of candy. what do i get?

a mother %+!%%## am radio that i had to assemble myself

I work at a radio station. Thought I'd share a few things...

Firstly, if a dj tells you you're caller 9, in reality, you're probably the first or second caller. Most of us don't waste time telling people"sorry, you're number 7, you didn't win". Also, if you call and get a busy signal, it doesn't necessarily mean a lot of people arecalling in at the same time you are. We just a press a button to make that happen. We want the average listener to think we're really popular, like thewhole city is trying to call us. When you hear a busy signal, that means the dj is in bathroom, or they just don't feel like taking calls.

Secondly, ALL major contests are rigged. If a radio or tv station is giving away anything bigger than a cd or t-shirt, chances are the winner will be handpicked. The only exception is random phone-in contests. If you had to e-mail your entry or enter on the station's website, there's nothing random aboutthe winning entry. Somebody chose that person to win. Winners are usually people who don't enter a lot of contests, fit the station's demographic, andsay lots of nice things about the station in their entry. Ego-stroking gets you prizes.

Hope this helps.

Skins won though

I live in CA and have called in on phone contests from KROQ when they are looking for caller 10 and have gotten an answer of "sorry, you're caller___" and then hangs up on more than a handful of times. About 95% of the time though the line is just busy.

Won $5000 at a golf outing in a raffle. Donated $500 back. Funny part was I didn't even buy a ticket, the guy who invited us bought one for me. $100 perticket; these people were all loaded.
