New radio trivia show offers quick bucks

Think you can spare a minute to earn $100,000? A new radio trivia show is offering just that. Time has never been a more important factor than with the advent of One Minute Blitz, which is slated to hit radio airwaves on Friday, May 28 at 8 a.m. on FAME FM during the high-energy Full House Fridays broadcast.

In a game of speed and wits, One Minute Blitz challenges contestants to answer 10 questions in 60 seconds for the chance to win $100,000.

To be eligible to play, listeners must answer the preliminary question aired each week on FAME FM as well as posted on facebook.com/1 Minute Blitz by texting their answers to 444-4244 (Cost is $25 per text message. Open to all networks). One phone number with the correct answer is randomly selected and the mobile owner is called to participate in the on-air show.

The lucky contestant will then be given a choice of three categories, each containing a set of 10 questions. Upon selection of a category, the contestant will then have one minute to answer all 10 questions. Each correct answer is worth $10,000 while each incorrect answer will cost just as much.

When the minute is up, contestant's winnings are determined by subtracting the value of incorrect answers from correct answers.

Created and launched by Software Architects Limited, One Minute Blitz is open to all Jamaican citizens 18 years or older.
