I was full of hope I'd win something. Four hours of my life = not getting my name drawn.
Life can be cruel sometimes.
The event was emceed by Shannon Black (who I worked together with years ago at 93.7 KRQ) and Porkchop of 99.5 KIIM-FM, the country music station in Tucson. There was a lot of steps to get to the grand prize winner (who didn't win a million but did win $20,000). In an epic moment, Shannon awarded the prize to the wrong winner and had to correct it per casino rules. It did get an audience boo. I felt for her because its one of those moments when you emcee an event that occasionally happens because we're all human.
A few photos from my perspective in the audience:
