Today, I was caller number nine on the radio, meaning I technically won the contest. I was too awkward, so they hung up on me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I decided to try and call into a local radio station to try and win concert tickets for one of my favorite bands. I called in and was actually the winning number. When asked my name I answered quickly, but all I heard was "Hello? Hello?" Then they hung up. My cell phone was on mute. FML
Today, I was entered into an online contest where they announce your name on the radio and if you call in within an hour they pay your bills for you. I'm unemployed, so I got really excited when they announced my name. My call wouldn't go through - I hadn't paid my phone bill and the line was disconnected. FML
Today, I finally managed to get through to the radio station that I always listen to. I handed the phone to my dad so he could win the prize for me, because I'm under 18. He hung up because he thought it was a prank call. FML
Today, I was the 10th caller on a radio show. I answered the question correctly. The DJ informed I won a free air guitar of my choosing. I yelled with excitement over the air. The DJ then instructed me how to use my new air guitar. FML
Today, the only person I actually spoke with was a prank caller. I tried to have a conversation with him, but he hung up on me. FML
Today, while at work as a telemarketer, I called a customer on his home phone. Once I was connected, an automated voice said, "To speak with a customer, please press 1." Confused, I pressed one. I then heard loud laughter followed by, "Oh my god! What a dumbass!" before they hung up. FML
Today, after being unemployed for over four months, I got a call from a company I've wanted to work for for over 2 years. After they were about to set up an interview, they called me by a different name. After correcting them, they hung up on me. Turns out they had the wrong number. FML
Today, I took a call. Wrong number. A few seconds later, they called back and I told her that she had the wrong number. She said she just hit redial and didn't understand how she got me again. I tried to explain how redial works. She called me a moron and hung up. Then my phone rang again. FML
Today, I called the crisis helpline, and because my connection was cutting in and out for a moment, they hung up on me. When I called back, it was shift change, so they hung up again. FML
Today, after months of job searching, I finally got a call for an interview. Right in the middle of the call, my phone hung up so the music app could open. I tried calling them back and got no response. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Are they actually allowed to do that? I'm sorry that happened to you OP, maybe call back and try to talk to them? I'm not sure what the prize was or if it's even worth pursuing it but regardless that sucks for you. Best of luck!

I'm a board op who runs contests for a radio station. Did you say anything? Usually we stick around to try and get your name + number. But if you have a poor connection or hang up on us there is nothing we can do as we don't have caller id & the lines are usually slammed.

sue the radio station for not giving you the prize, phone records should be easily obtained you will either end up with the prize, or a cash equivalent plus legal expenses.

So I just made this account and I'm the one who posted this. Anyway for those of you asking, the prize was meeting Alessia Cara. I did end up winning two days after this post. The conversation on the phone was like "Hi, (Station's name)" "Hello" "Hi" and then they just hung up. Long story short, I ended up winning and Alessia Cara is super nice.
