RADIO’S
NEWEST MILLIONAIRES:
THREE RADIO LISTENERS
BEAT THE ODDS TO WIN $3,000,000
IN 24 HOURS!
Atlanta, GA – Clear
Channel Radio and Cumulus Broadcasting partnered with
the radio industry’s largest prize insurance provider,
American Media & Special Promotions (AMSP), in two
separate contests to award $3,000,000 to three lucky
radio listeners over a 24 hour period culminating at
the Radio Music Awards in Las Vegas.
Clear Channel Radio and Cumulus Broadcasting are the
nation’s two largest radio broadcasting companies
based upon stations owned. Each radio group hosted VIP
listener events over the weekend featuring insured contests
with the chance to win $1,000,000. Cumulus Broadcasting
had the first winner on October 25th at the Hard Rock
Café in Puerto Vallarta. Clear Channel then followed
up less than 24-hours later with two additional $1,000,000
contest winners at the Aladdin Casino and Resort in
Las Vegas.
Cumulus executed AMSP’s popular Roll for a Million
contest. Listeners nationwide won trips to Puerto Vallarta
where they each had the chance to roll 6 custom dice
for $1,000,000. Michael Johnson, of Warren, OH rolled
the dice to spell "M-E-X-I-C-O" and became
an instant millionaire. His wife, Cynthia, registered
the pair by winning the trip from Cumulus’s WYFM-FM.
Clear Channel launched a national $175-million dollar
contest in September. Qualified listeners won trips to
the RMA’s in Las Vegas. During a VIP event,
two lucky listeners selected winning prize envelopes
to cash in on $1,000,000 each. American Idol, Kelly
Clarkson, presented the winners with their $1,000,000
checks. America’s newest Millionaires, Brian Otte
from Phoenix, AZ and Foster Thomas from Lawrenceville,
GA, were promoted during the NBC live broadcast of the
Radio Music Awards.
AMSP has awarded $7 million in prize money to five
different Clear Channel listeners, and over $15 million
to winners of radio contests since 1998. AMSP is the
radio division of American Hole ‘n One, Inc., the
nation’s largest provider of prize coverage for
hole in one golf tournaments, sports and specialty contests.
AMSP provides prize coverage for thousands of radio
promotions annually that increase listenership and sponsor
revenue. American Hole ‘n One is underwritten by
