The annual KNIA/KRLS Radio Active Bingo event was held yesterday at Motor Inn Auto Group in Knoxville.

The grand prize of $1,000 was collected by Melissa Adhangale of Knoxville. She tells KNIA/KRLS News her immediate reactions upon finding out she was the winner were shock, nervousness, and of course happy. She went on to say that is hasn’t really sunk in yet, and her husband is still in disbelief as well. Listeners who qualified played five preliminary games of bingo, and the winner of each of those preliminary rounds moved on to play in the final game of bingo, which ended in a three way tiebreaker to force an extra game which decided the winner. KNIA/KRLS General Manager Jim Butler thanks all who participated in this year’s Radio Active Bingo contest.
