Missouri State University student Katherine Alford, center, won the Braum’s-Dr Pepper Tuition Giveaway of $23,000 toward college tuition. Running two months, anyone over 18 years old in Braum’s five-state footprint could enter the contest daily via text. Alford, a sophomore majoring in animal science, entered just once. “When I first found out I won I wanted to cry,” she says. “Since I am paying my own way through college.” Alford is pictured with the Braum’s Inc. management team, including President and CEO Drew Braum, who’s also holding the check.
