MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin radio station had to make two contestants an offer they couldn't refuse in order to get them to quit a game to win a new car.

Tommy Kempfer, 26, of Sun Prairie, and Lisa Thompson, 40, of Westfield, had been living in a truck, hoping to outlast the other to win a new $30,000 vehicle from WMAD-FM in Madison.


Now that's dedication!

I could see if this were for life-changing money, but not for a vehicle.

it takes me more than a year to make that much money I would do it for 30,000 LOL but I would lose my job so maybe not

I agree, but some people have more time or a greater need.

Easy way to end the contest, throw a dead roadkill skunk in the truck.
