One KCII listener is starting off 2021 with $1,000 in their pocket thanks to the Christmas Cash Call giveaway.

Friday morning the grand prize winner was announced as Linda Hudson of Brighton. Hudson entered the giveaway online, and she shares her excitement at the win, “Oh my gosh, are you kidding me? Oh thank you so much!”

Hudson plans to use the prize money to pay some bills and buy new tires for her vehicle. KCII gave away an additional $2,000 during the Christmas Cash Call, in which listeners called into the station and spun the prize wheel on-air for the chance to win cash. Meanwhile, the Big Red Radio collected monetary and food donations for area food pantries, which will be distributed later this month.
