What happens when you win a radio contest?

When you win a radio contest, such as being the 100th caller or something similar, how does the process typically work? Do they answer the call immediately and let you know you've won? Does it take a while for them to pick up the phone? Or do they answer, ask you to hold, and then make you wait 20 minutes before telling you the outcome? If you’ve experienced winning a radio contest or know how it works, please share your story or insights!

I was a DJ for several years and also worked as the promotion director managing the prizes for handout. When I had contests that needed called number 100 or so, I'd answer and say "You're number 1" (as an example) until I got to the proper number. Then I'd talk to them off air and prerecord them, never live. People do say stupid things. Then I'd fill out a card with the listener/winners info and turn it into the front desk along with their prize (if it was a set of tickets it would be in an envelope stapled to the card, if it was larger it would remain locked up in the prize closet). The winner would then have 30 days to claim their prize from the front desk.

I worked for 8 different radio stations and never at any of them did we have more than 4 lines to answer and cycle through.

Most radio stations have 15 to 20 phone lines incoming.They normally have interns,DJ's or producers grabbing every call . In Chicago land they normally will take like 9 th caller or 19th caller which they have a winner in less than a minute.I've won many concert tickets from about 5 different rock &country; radio stations.All you can do is keep trying and make sure you give correct information because they will disqualify you- It does happen
