Background:
I qualified this afternoon for a contest won by the local radio station. Entries are accepted by email and then chosen and read on air 4 times a day. Contestant has 9 minutes and 71 seconds (call number for radio station) to call in to qualify. Also once a day they have a random 'be the __ caller' to qualify. It started Monday and the draw is Friday morning. I qualified by being the caller today.
Prize:
The morning crew come to your home at 5 am
along with a chef from a shi shi poo poo restaurant. He cooks breakfast for you, your family and 15 friends. The radio crew do their broadcast from your home (4 hours).
You also receive a 42 inch tv, $500 gc from a local jewelery store, $500 gc from a local bigbox hardware/lumber store, and a $500 gc for groceries.
I don't even really care about the prizes so much as the experience for my kids especially for my 14 DD who LOVES this radio station. If I was lucky enough to win I'd like the gc for the jewelery store to replace the one and only diamond in my wedding ring that fell out and got lost at work, give the gc for the hardware to DH to build a deck (we don't have one) and I'd like to give alot if not all of the grocery gc to my girlfriend and her family who are going through hard times.
And finally for the tv - there was a qualifier who's email was read this morning who's never had anything new. He finally bought his first thing new - you guessed it - a tv. Making payments for 2 years. 2 months after getting it his 5 year old threw a toy car at it, it broke the plasma screen and now it's leaking plasma and won't work. I guess the tv was $1300 but the repairs that he can't afford are $800. And he still has 20 payments to make. When I heard that story I thought 'I hope he wins'...until I qualified So I'd like to give him the tv. DH just rolled his eyes and said whatever you'd like hun Guess he doesn't believe I'll win!
So I have 1 in 20 odds of winning and for some reason I feel I AM going to win LOL I even told the announcer live on the air when he mentions 'well good luck, maybe you'll win and we'll be coming to your house next week' and I said 'oh I WILL win!'
So I told my family it's the power of positive thinking, right? Will my cheffer buddies be positive thinkers for me too? I figure the more the merrier!
Hey, maybe I could have a party with some of the grocery money and have my cheffers come visit for a party!!
