Raccoon Valley Radio has finished its Caring Christmas Giveaway for 2024, and has awarded three individuals a grand prize of $1,000.

Doug Lundgren registered for the drawing on KKRF at Spring Valley Assisted Living, and when he was called with the news that he had won he had a joyous exclamation.

“Oh my God! Ha ha! That’s the best news I’ve heard for ages!”

Lundgren says that he plans to use the prize to finish this year’s Christmas shopping, and help pay off the new furnace he recently had installed. He was one of three winners of the Christmas Cash Giveaway, with the other winners coming from KGRA in Jefferson and KDLS in Perry.
