Dear puzzle-ga
It was £2 million dollars. The prize was given away to a winning
contestant, a resident of Duarte, Calif., "whose birthday of Sept. 28,
1965, matched the exact month, day and year announced by Rick Dees --
instantly becoming a double millionaire on the show."
The radio show was Los Angeles-based radio station, KIIS-FM `Rick Dees
in the Morning,' with additional sponsorship by The FindWhat.com and
Rio Suites Hotel and Casino.
