Car-smooching battle: Texan woman wins a Kia after kissing it for 50 hours

Texas - After 50 hours of kissing a Kia Optima at the Southwest Kia dealership in Round Rock, Dilini Jayasuriya has been named the winner in an arduous, week-long car-snogging competition in Texas. 

Only seven people remained in the 96.7 KISS FM's Kiss A Kia contest as organisers decided to name a winner via a lucky draw. The rules stated that if the competition entered its 50th hour and there was more than one contestant remaining, Kiss FM would draw the final winner instead. 

Car-kissing not in vain for losers 

The kissing began at 7:00am (US time) on April 17 but the kissing wasn't all in vain for the other car-snoggers as six contestants received smaller prizes. 

The contestants were required to keep their lips on the vehicle the entire time but were allowed a 10 minute break on the hour. Talk about chapped lips.
