How many of you ever called a radio station to try your luck at a contest? Did you win a prize? Were you the correct caller or did you know the answer? What was the best prize you won from a radio station? What was that like?

Back when I was about 3 years old my dad won a couple of tickets on April Fool's to the first opening day at Oriole Park at Camden Yards and took me with him.

Back in 1993, I won tickets to the final home game the Minnesota North Stars played in Met Center before the scumbag Norm Green moved them to Dallas.
It was 20 minutes before the puck dropped when "Norm Green sucks!" chant started, continuing throughout the game with gusto. About 10 minutes into the third period, fans started dismantling the arena. Whole rows of seats were removed. It was amazing.

Somehow I got out of the place in one piece.

I won tickets to see The Bravery and innerpartysystem in the Bowery Ballroom in NYC.
I won them from 92.3 K-Rock, a New York Rock/Alternative music station that no longer exists.
And I believe they also gave me a t-shirt from the station.

In the early 80s, KABC Los Angeles had the Ken and Bob morning show. They'd call someone up who registered with them by mail and if they said "EGBOK" (Everything is going to be OK), they got a letter with 79 cents "cold hard cash". KABC was 790 on the dial.

My wife and I were on Adak and got the call at o'dark thirty. Ken and Bob said we didn't win. I said it's 2:30 in the morning, how would we know? After some talk through time delay dishes, they declared us a winner and sure enough the letter with the cold hard cash showed up along with a couple of other trinkets.
