As you're already aware, Beasley Media Group has a contest that's giving out $1,000 - 5 times a day - for 5 weeks. That's $125,000! The contest runs from Monday, April 8, 2024 through Friday, May 10, 2024. So let's manifest that win and decide what you'll spend it on. We've come up with some things to do in Southwest Florida if you win the $1,000 this spring.
Listen weekdays at 8am, 10am, 12 noon, 3pm & 5pm ET for your chance to win $1000.
When you hear the keyword enter it here on the website, or on the station's app or text the keyword to 45911 no later than fifteen (15) minutes after the start of the hour during which the keyword is announced to be entered for a chance to win a $1000 cash prize.
So what can you do here in Southwest Florida with the money you're about to win? Well, some of the best things are (nearly) free. Most of the beaches are open and are absolutely gorgeous. If you can get to Bonita beach early enough (or on a weekday), you can find one of the free parking spots at a beach access. if not, you double back to Barefoot Beach and pay a $10 parking fee. If you have a Collier County Resident Beach Parking Permit, it's not even that.
Sanibel Island toll is $9 if you don't have a transponder. Show some love to Sanibel and Captiva. They're rebuilding, but it's going to take time.
So let's spend this money. You entered the word and you're waiting on the call back. So what to do? Let's come up with some of the ways to spend that money.
Margaritaville Fort Myers Beach
Be one of the first to stay in this brand new hotel.. For $1,000 the two of you can live large - for one night.
The Charlotte Harbor Sunseeker Resort
Our "other" big resort. It's really an amazing place but it's been overshadowed in the news by Margaritaville. Your money will go further there, too. For $1,000 2 of you could stay the weekend, grab some spa time, and meals.
Naples Princess Cruise
You could take the whole family on a Sunset Dinner Cruise with champagne and cake and still have money left over to hit up Tin City like a tourist.
Inn On Fifth
You driven by this place on 5th Avenue in Naples and always wondered what it'd be like to stay there. Why not also have dinner at Ocean Prime for the whole experience?
Tween Waters
Head to Captiva and stay at one of the cottages at Tween Waters. What a cool way to spend the weekend. Your own little "house" on the coast.
Rent an Exotic Car From Full Throttle
What's it like to drive a Rolls Royce? Or why not rent a Lamborghini? They're in Naples waiting for you.
Hyatt Regency Coconut Point
Spend the weekend at this amazing hotel that has it's own waterpark. Don't forget to add sunblock before you drop into the lazy river. A couple of drinks in you and you lose track of time. Take it from my personal experience.
Estero River Outfitters
Buy a kayak and explore all the waterways, rivers, and bays of Southwest Florida.
This is just a handful of ideas to get you started. Remember, if that phone rings after you enter the contest - you need to answer it!
