Emma recapped her 21 days in the box on Campbell Live - watch the video
Ms Lewis has been incarcerated in a box located somewhere in New Zealand for the past 21 days as part of a competition run by The Edge.
Listeners could watch Ms Lewis on a 24/7 webcam and were asked to pinpoint her location while she gave them clues as to her whereabouts.
If discovered Ms Lewis will win $10,000 as well as the person who guesses closest to her location.
She says the person she missed most during her time in the box is her mother.
“We are very close, I miss my whole family actually.”
She will use the prize money to pay off her student loan.
The Edge station manager Leon Wratt said there were 20,000 entries to the competition and 300,000 guesses.
“Chatrooms pooled together to try and solve the clues.
Hundreds of people have guessed correctly, the heat map was pretty hot where she was.”
Mr Wratt said only three people at The Edge knew Ms Lewis’ location.
Tune in to The Edge at 7am tomorrow to find out where she was and who won.
