From Ringer staff member Tookish:
In my city, each year a local t.v. station holds a contest to predict the first time the temperature is 100 degrees. This year, the grand prize is a driving trip for two …. in New Zealand….did I mention it’s a $10,000.00 package??
Here’s the grand prize from the TV stations site kvoa.com
Grand Prize for 2000 is a New Zealand driving tour for two (2) people from Bon Voyage Travel and Brendan Tours. Bon Voyage will provide roundtrip economy class airfare for two (2) from Tucson to Auckland, New Zealand via Los Angeles. Vacation is a self drive program through New Zealand. Trip includes 7 days car rental, 6 nights accommodations and a set of travel documents.
Who’s gonna try?!
