What Would You Do with $30,000? The “Win Cash” Contest Has Us Dreaming Big

Imagine getting that magical phone call from us stating: "You’ve just won up to $30,000 in cash." The first question everyone asks around here at the radio station is, "What would you do with all that cash?" Would you blow it on something fun and frivolous? Or would you treat yourself to something extraordinary, maybe even a little out of the ordinary?

Now, if you’re like me, you’ve probably thought about some splurges. I mean, who doesn’t want to dream about living large? Recently, this Texas boy stumbled upon a website that’s tailor-made for wild spending, This Is Why Im Broke.com. If you’ve never checked it out, prepare to be amazed and you'll be hooked. They’ve got everything from life-sized T-Rex costumes to a bedside brewery. It’s the ultimate “What would I buy if I didn’t have a budget?” fantasy playground.

As we keep calling out those cash codes on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., the conversation always circles back to: "What would YOU buy if you won $30,000." See the photos below of what I would splurge on!

10 Things I’d Splurge On if I Could Win the $30,000 Cash Prize:

  1. Dinner at Perini Ranch Steakhouse – A porterhouse steak with all the trimmings? Sure, it might set you back up to $200, but when you’ve got $30K, that’s pocket change.
  2. Brette Haus - Tiny Houses for sale $27,000 – Have it delivered to where you want to live. The square footage is around 25 sq ft and they're great for retirement.
  3. Animatronic T-Rex dinosaur – Who wouldn't want to have T-Rex standing in your yard guarding your mansion and your million$ hello Kim and five Randall Pete Randall King yes let me look it up my father I'll get it on right away Randall King okay I'll go looking for it thank you bye?
  4. A Life-Sized T-Rex Costume – Perfect for scaring the neighbors, or making a grand entrance at any event.
  5. The Jesus Toaster – This toaster reminds us that we were promised Our Daily Bread. So the next time the preacher visits impress them with some Jesus bread.
  6. Giant Gorilla Sofa Couch – Sit back and relax while watching your favorite team in the comfort of the lap of your own Giant Gorilla sofa couch.
  7. X15 Personal Flamethrower – There's never been an easier way to get rid of fall leaves, and it's also a reminder to the neighbors that you don't play around .
  8. The Tiny Toothpick Crossbow – It's the perfect way to keep your co-workers and family in line. Strike fear in the hearts of all with your own tiny toothpick crossbow
  9. AK-47 Rifle Chainsaw – Why this rifle is capable of taking down the biggest in the neighborhood. Whether it's a 50 ft pine tree or a 15 ft Mesquite tree nothing says you're serious like an AK-47 Rifle Chainsaw?
  10. Mandalorian Complete Mando Suit – So the next time the Neighbors come knocking at your door or the local police answer it in this outfit. I promise you from personal experience they will turn around and run especially if you're holding on to your AK-47 rifle chainsaw and Tiny toothpick crossbow striking fear in all men.

Of course, this is just a small sample of the crazy, quirky, and downright fun things you could buy. But remember, while I can’t personally win (unfortunately), but you can, and we’d love to see how creative you get with $30,000.

The contest is simple: listen for our cash codes every hour from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, and start planning how you’ll splurge! BTW, the tiny house in a bow below are popping up everywhere and they're only $27K delivered, see the video below.
