Announcing the Metro Raffle Winner!

The Question:

“What were the three telephone area codes that covered the whole lower peninsula of Michigan in the year Henry Ford died?”

The winner of the raffle, one of only 4 people offering the correct response ( 313,517, 616) was one J.W.P., who was simultaneously applying for a job as a Courier here at Metro Delivery.

The prize this month: a $50 gift card from Busch’s Grocery store! HAPPY HOLIDAYS J.W.P.!

And, coincidentally, after and independent of the fact of her winning, we hear that she’s to be offered the job here as well. It’s true that employees and relatives can’t win the raffle- but she absolutely won it fair and square, before we even interviewed her.

HOORAY for J.W.P.! Below, some of the incorrect responses that we got to the question:

810, 517, 616 -(close!)

662 -(that’s just one Area Code!  And not even one of the 3 correct Area Codes!)

761 -(See comment directly above)

YES  -(No!)

London -(…what?)
