Hampton University Sophomore, Lauren Pryor accepting her scholarship reward. |
"I was on my way to a friend’s home in Hampton when I
heard the radio challenge that the 25th caller would win the prize,” said Pryor.
“The station said to call between 4 and 5 p.m. I called four or five times. The
line was always busy. On about the 14th call I told myself to give it a rest
then, I heard a man say ‘hello.’ “I didn’t believe it. He told me there were
millions of calls and he only picked up the phone 14 times nationwide,"
Pryor said in an article in the Gloucester-Mathews Gazette-Journal.
Pryor spent a glitz-filled two days, June 23-24, with all
the VIP amenities anyone could ask for in New York City.
