  • For the first time in station history, 100.3 THE BEAR will crown one lucky resident as Edmonton’s Newest Millionaire– but a millionaire in what currency? Starting Monday, April 25, an announcement will be made, inviting listeners to call in to 100.3 THE BEAR for a chance to instantly win $100 CAD and qualify for a shot at a cool $1 million, four times each weekday and twice each Saturday, Sunday, and on statutory holidays.

     Taking place at varying times each day, winning listeners will also qualify for the chance to spin THE BEAR’s “Millionaire Wheel”. With 80 slots and representing 52 currencies from countries around the globe (with some currencies repeated throughout the wheel), on Monday, May 30, one qualifier will be selected to spin the wheel for a chance at the $1 million grand prize, which takes place the following day – on Tuesday, May 31.

    With currencies as varied as the Armenian Dram, Russian Ruble, Nigerian Naira – and of course the coveted Canadian dollar – the million dollar question is: in what country will the grand prize winner be considered a millionaire?

    “THE BEAR is renowned for its amazing contests, and we’re pretty certain that crowning Edmonton’s newest millionaire will rank as one of our most popular yet,” said Rob Vavrek, Program Director, 100.3 THE BEAR, and TSN 1260. “We are excited to give away the most money in our history – and one million in a to-be-determined currency adds an exciting twist for our fantastic listeners!”
