Betsy from Lennox was our most recent winner with The Kickin' Country Secret Sound. She correctly identified, what we thought would be an easy sound, as changing a roll of toilet paper. Betsy was working in Sioux Falls when she played and won $4,700!

Meet Josh from Armour! Josh is now our record winner with The Kickin' Country Secret Sound. Our Funner Summer Secret Sound got up to $10,500 before it was solved. It was a 'primer bulb' on a snow thrower.

The Kickin' Country St. Patrick's Day Secret Sound was a stinker. I recorded it in my garage. I had a pair of spurs and twirled the rowels on one of them. That was the sound! Congratulations to Denise from Yankton! Denise was working in Sioux Falls and was able to get in with a team effort of callers. She identified the sound and won $8,700, a record amount for The Kickin' Country Secret Sound.

How much money have we handed out to local winners? Lots! Check out our Kickin' Country Wall of Winners here!

This past December 27, 2021, we thought it would be nice to start the NEW YEAR out with a Kickin' Country NEW YEARS Secret Sound. We usually start out with at least $1000 but this time we thought we would throw a NEW YEARS twist to The Kickin' Country Secret Sound. Miranda, from Crooks, made the lucky guess of a mop bucket handle.' (note that we had only given the hint, YELLOW and then Beth announced Wednesday afternoon the second guess was 'handle.' That's all Miranda had to go on. And it paid off that she listened to Kickin' Country OUTSIDE the times we play the Kickin' Country New Year's Secret Sound.

CONGRATULATIONS to Leslie from Sioux Falls! Leslie scored $3125 with The Kickin' Country Secret Sound. (a tape measure) What's neat about Leslie's win was she listens to Kickin' Country on 99-1 here in Sioux Falls. While we played The Kickin' Country Secret Sound this fall we had contestants from here in Sioux Falls, for sure. But we had callers who played from Huron, Wagner, Crooks, Brookings, Yankton, Brandon, Luverne, Minnesota, Harrisburg, Sioux Center Iowa, Crofton, Nebraska, and more. Between our two strong signals, we reach LOADS of listeners!

CONGRATULATIONS to Keith from Tea! Tea racked up a total of $1450 with The Kickin' Country Secret Sound. (cutting on a cutting board) Keith and his wife had some strategy going when it came to winning too. Keith and his wife were not the only ones. When we were taking calls for the Kickin' Country Secret Sound, we could hear them talking in the background. They were obviously running 2 and 3 phones at one time to get in to play the Kickin' Country Secret Sound.

CONGRATULATIONS TO Ann from Madison! An Won $2350. Ann is one of the people who travel to Sioux Falls to work every day. She listens to The Bobby Bones Show on her commute.
