Radio Contest: Living 55 Days in a Truck

By , About.com Guide   December 1, 2008

Follow me on:

Is it the economy or are they just nuts? According to the Associated Press, "Tommy Kempfer, 26, of Sun Prairie, and Lisa Thompson, 40, of Westfield, had been living in a truck, hoping to outlast the other to win a new $30,000 vehicle from WMAD-FM in Madison. After 55 days, the station became concerned that the contest would never end."

So, the station offered both this alternative: take $10,000 apiece toward purchasing a car or keep going and the runner-up got zip.

They took the compromise.

WMAD-FM is a Country station and you can listen online at www.mad.com
