Starting Monday, April 28th, 2025, listen to the Wake the Lakes Morning Show Monday through Friday at 6:20, 7:20 and 8:20. When we tell you, be the sixth caller during those times at 218-828-9994 for your chance to guess the amount of money in the jackpot. We will tell you if you are “Too High” or “Too Low.” If the exact amount is guessed correctly, the caller wins that amount of money in the jackpot. If the caller is “Too High” or “Too Low,” that player’s turn ends. But, the player is still eligible to be caller six during the duration of the contest, unless they have previously won one of the designated jackpots offered in the High/Low Cash Game.

Starting Monday morning, March 31st, 2025 on the Wake the Lakes Morning Show, listen for your chance to guess the “Secret Sound” at 6:20, 7:20 and 8:20. Be caller SIX when we tell you to call in at those times each weekday morning for your chance to correctly guess the “Secret Sound” and win $2,000! Listen for bonus plays of the “Secret Sound” audio (and possible clues of what the “Secret Sound” is) on our stations weekdays at 10:20 AM, 1:20 PM, and 4:20 PM. Guess as many times as you want, as long as you are caller SIX when we tell you to call in at 6:20, 7:20 and 8:20 weekdays on the Wake the Lakes Morning Show. The contest will continue until the secret sound is guessed EXACTLY CORRECT with $2,000 as the prize. Clues of what the “Secret Sound” is will be given to listeners as the contest progresses based on the discretion of our programmers. Must be 18 years of age or older to play.
