I give up! All year long, I wake each morning to the music on this rock station. And, every so often, I call in when they have their contest to beat the bank. Only, I can’t through. Why? Because all the blue-haired, shaky-voiced, about-to-have-a-coronary seniors who turn to this station to grab the money and run back to their oldies and country stations are jamming the lines. For what? To chicken out at $200 or $300 so they can pay their way into bingo for a few nights. GET OFF THE LINE! Let the actual listeners have a shot at the BIG money. I am young. I am fearless. It is ALL or nothing for me. Let me though! I want to go to a balmy island, or buy bad ass car, or hit Vegas! Stop blocking this loyal listener’s chance to score the Mega money!
Just listening to you as each $20 vault opens is driving me NUTS!
” Oooooh,…I don’t know…$20 more than last time…my neighbour says take it…but me and my cat decided $400 or bust…maybe one more…oh, what ever shall I do?”
You should either GET SOME BALLS AND OPEN EVERY SINGLE VAULT UNTIL YOU GOT SOME REAL MONEY! OR YOU SHOULD GET OFF THE FRIGGING LINE AND LET ME AT IT!
DAMN!

lol! You’ve made my day.
i hear ya, that pisses me off too. if you start with fuck all,what have you got to lose. big deal if you don’t get the super prize at first fucking shot,keep going anyway, i would. no matter how early you even call, the line is busy.and if you had won some money, stay the hell off, give someone else a chance.they should wipe the lines just as they are going to start calling the number of the person they want. are you reading this c100.
whaaaa so you don’t get to play. Why should others not try even for a little bit. This could be the highlight of their day. Wait I forgot you are so privileged you should just go down and get the money. Fuck off OP maybe the little old lady could use a couple hundred. Sometimes its not what you got to lose but what you can win/keep. A few hundred can help alot to some of us.
Life Sucks I think your right in that the phone lines should be cleared before the contest opens.
Contests are for eveyone so suck it up buttercup.
I wake to another station until the contest is over.
My personal belief that this game is a scam. We have no access to the actual numbers. They could just be making it all up. If someone stops at 500, they could lie and say they could have won 15000. Or if the caller is getting in the low thousands they could blow the horn and say you lose. There is no way to tell.
Ahhh por young thing getting aced by old people. I love it you ass. Obviously if they are calling, they are listening. Time to get a shammy to wipe up your tears. Can’t believe the OB goes public and whines a bunch of old people are beating him/her. LOL.
Not a C100 listener. But this is funny.
What I like about that spot , when I get to hear it , is how many of the contestants say ” Oh, my God ! “
I never realised just how many people seem to believe they personally own a god… I only say this because of their constant use of the word MY… I was always taught that god was for all of us, if you believe & do what your told …no questions yada yada yada…& I soon filed it right next to Santa Claus on my list of what to believe in .
But it is still funny to hear it all the time…it would make a great drinking game…everytime one of the contestants says ‘my’ or ‘god’…you drink , if they say both…you down it ! 😉
I bet this was about the girl today who walked away with a staggering $400!
I know a gal who won $10K on Z103 lately and she collected the full sum.
When in To. try competing for chum’s BTB jackpot of half a mil!
is Radio still on?
holy crap.
they took free TV away, I thought this would have been history ages ago.
Free TV is right where it always was…
