I called the radio station, carefully dialing 8-5-5-9-5-3-3-5-9-7. They were holding a contest to win tickets to the brand new amusement park named simply "The Park". With the radio announcer still talking in the background, I placed the phone to my ear and it began to ring.
Ring 
Ring
Then the solid click of someone answering the phone.
"Congratulations! Your are 301st caller, you just won a once in a lifetime experience!Do you have anything to say?"
I froze in what felt like surprise and fear. I didn't know how to react. The announcer just said that I had won, this couldn't have happened is all I could think to myself. As soon processed what had just happened, I realised he hung up. Over the radio the announcer stated:
"To are lucky awe struck winners, will you please come down to the station to receive your tickets," 
It would be an understatement to say we rushed there. We picked up our tickets in such awe. All he asked for was the number so that he knew we weren't lying.  
With how innocent this contest seemed I would have never expected it to turn out how it did. But, I would never change what happened. It was a nightmare disguised as a dream so, well that I don't know how to place it. It was definitely an experience to say the least.
