The radio station challenged listeners to identify the six celebrities that were saying words the individual words 'Country 93 plays Today's Best Country'. The contest ran for 7 weeks, every hour during the work day. The jackpot, which started at $93.70 and increased by $9.37 with every incorrect answer, grew quickly through a total of 335 contest plays! Over 3,000 listener calls later, Andrew correctly identified the final voice; Martie Maguire from the Dixie Chicks.
