Well, wouldn't you know it, they called my name at 10 this morning, just as I was driving to work with the radio on. I pulled over, called them back right away (the DJ said, "That was fast!"), and they're going to send me a check for $104. Better still(?), I am now eligible to become the VP of Rock, the sole responsibility of said position apparently being to accept a check of $104,000! That will be awarded by random draw sometime in December.
I love it that I've been picked now, because the contest only started last week and will run through November 21. Getting in so early means that I do not have to run to my radio four times a day for the next 10 weeks, hoping against hope that my name might possibly be read on the air. I just get to sit back and wait for December and hope no one else hears their name and calls in time.
Seriously, I know the odds are still against me. There are 220 possible finalists for the prize, and even if only half call the station in time, that's still 110 people in the December drawing. (I have a feeling it will be more than that, but not nearly 220.) Still, my odds are a lot better than they were before 10 am today. Wish me luck!
