KXRA-FM is well known for their Thousand Dollar Name Game. Throughout the week, listeners give their name to the station. During the day, the station reads names and once their name is read on air, they have 10 minutes to call back to qualify for the Friday drawing. On Friday, one lucky listener who gave their name to the station and qualified could possibly win $1,000.
