Play to win?

I was watching a live TV show from 8TV at around 1pm. The prize was quite attractive where you can get 5k (if I’m not mistaken) provided you are the tenth caller and able to answer a simple question. The question was to guess an animal that symbolized freedom. They gave us a hint where the letters started with MER_ _ _ _, I know the answer is MERPATI and so I sent the SMS to the number provided on TV screen. I want to play and win! (too early to daydream anyway) I have sent 5 SMS in total and I found out that was something gone wrong. See the following.

I received a SMS at 12:43PM and I was the 4th caller. (not too far, not too near…)
I received another SMS at 12.53PM and I was the 6th caller. (hmm, 4 more SMS to win 5k!)
I received another SMS at 12:54PM and I was the 3rd caller. (WHAT!? What happened?)
I received another SMS at 1:00PM and I was the 8th caller. (Wow! So close!!!)
I received another SMS at 1:01Pm and I was the 5th caller. (F**K!!!)

At the end, I spent 15 bucks without winning anything. Play To Win? It was about bullshit!
