Want to hear something that would make you mad if you were me?

Our local radio station is offering up a $25,000 gas card. Throughout the day, they will ask for a certain number caller, and then they will open an envelope and read out 4 numbers, if they match the last 4 of your cell phone in order, you win. Match the first 3 and get $1,000.

I was sitting in Dairy Queen today, and hear it on the radio, so I call... "We already have a contestant" - same response I was getting for the past 2 weeks.

Oh well - I go back to eating my hotdog.

DJ calls out the last 4 digits of my cellphone in order and I nearly choked to death.

That could have been me.

I would have done a lot of good with that card.

They saw your # on caller ID, NO WAY were they giving you all that money

Surely they have to be using the caller ID. Write down 4 numbers on a card and go up to someone on the street and ask them their last 4 digits. See how many you can get to match the first two. It would take a while to find a match for three I'm pretty sure. I'm sure that there is someone here who could post the probabilities. They just did that to tick you off.
