The Wake the Lakes Morning Show is celebrating the 12 Days of Christmas with 13 chances to win! Starting Wednesday, December 4th, you have a chance to win $50 cash each hour from 6 to 9 on the Wake the Lakes Morning Show. When you hear the designated Christmas sounder each hour, be caller six and you’ll win $50 bucks. This will continue for the first twelve days each morning on the Wake the Lakes Morning Show through Thursday, December 19th. Then, on the 13th day, Friday, December 20th at 7:20am, we’ll put all the previous 12 Days of Christmas 50 dollar winners into a Grand Prize drawing to win over $800 in prizes. Not only will you qualify for the 13th Day Grand Prize as a previous $50 cash winner, you will automatically be added to the list WHENEVER you win anything on the Wake the Lakes Morning Show during the first 12 Days of Christmas. A name will be randomly drawn from all qualifiers and announced on the air. That person will have 100 seconds to call the station at 218-828-9994 to verify they were listening. If they do, they WIN! If not, we’ll draw another name and repeat until we have a winner! Thanks to all our sponsors including Tanner Motors, Brainerd and Thielen Meats, Little Falls. Entrants must be 21 or older to qualify with one $50 cash winner per household.
