Super bummed- Vegas vacation

[UnderTheMistletoe]

Our local radio station- and by local I mean DC- has a contest to go to Vegas for 3 days with the station. Airfare and hotel accomodations provided. There's a board of 50 numbers and you have to match two of the playing cards associated with the numbers to win. Catch is that you have to be caller 10 to play.

DH and I have gotten really into this one and kept track of everything on our little board with all the numbers and cards that have been called. We have three phones between us and will sit there with the phones on speed dial to get through. Closest we've gotten was 5 and 6.

Today, I called it to ask if they'd played yet (as I was on my home from school) and the DJ picked up. We chatted for a few minutes and some of the conversation ended up on the air. She announces the contest and the next thing I know my phone is ringing.... she picks up and says.....

"Caller 9!"

I listen to that station every day on the way to and from work. I can't listen at work, unfortunately (we don't get squat for reception inside our building), so I can't really keep track of the numbers that are off the board. Want to share and I'll take you if I win? hehe, kidding.

Did you listen to the station back in the days when they played the high-low game? Basically they'd pick a dollar amount between $3000-$10,000 and caller 10 had to guess. They'd say you're too high or too low and the next caller would get to guess again with that clue until finally someone got it (of course, this was over the course of a day or two, like with the current game). When it got down to two numbers such as $7,335 (too high) and $7,333 (too low), obviously you knew the number. That happened once and I called from work (not the same job as now).....my phone rang! I think the DJ at the time was Barbara Britt and she answered and said "Mix 107.3, you'll always remember that you were caller #9." Well that was mean!
