Floyds Knobs Welcomes Another Celebrity Resident
Business Man, David Sinclair, Wins $1 Million Dollars on iWon.com
IRVINGTON, N.Y., November 7, 2000 - Floyds Knobs previously known best for
famous resident PGA Golfer Fuzzy Zoeller, has a new celebrity in town.
Floyds Knobs resident David Sinclair got the surprise of his life on
Friday night when he returned home from a business trip to Atlanta. The
financial manager for LG&E Energy Corp. walked into his house to find Inside Edition TV cameras and representatives from iWon (www.iwon.com) sitting in his living room. Sinclair is iWon's latest monthly $1 million winner.
Sinclair, 39, works as a Director of Market Analysis and Valuation
for LG&E Energy Corp. in Louisville KY, about 10 miles from his home in
Floyds Knobs, where he lives with his wife Sharon, sons Collin, 9, and
Christopher, 7, and dog, Penny. With a graduate degree in economics and
an MBA from Arizona State, Sinclair had never won anything this easily
before. At Arizona State, he scored a free throw shot during a half time
promotion and won tickets to New York City.
When asked what he plans to do with the $1 million, Sinclair, who
was still in shock, stated, "I would like to buy a boat and save for my
children's education, as well as our retirement." Sinclair began using
iWon in February. He uses the site to check the news, read business
stories, follow the stock market and check sports scores -- all of which
earn him entries into iWon's Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Annual
guaranteed cash prizes.
"Back in school, I once won a trip for shooting a free throw. Using
iWon in the morning to get all of the business news and to see what is
going on in the world is a lot easier -- and the reward is better too.
While I use the site primarily for information, I am reminded of the
sweepstakes aspect of iWon by the points shown at the top of the Web
pages, which is a lot of fun," commented Sinclair.
"We are thrilled to announce David Sinclair as iWon's lucky 13th $1
Million Winner! On iWon, we reward our users simply for doing what they
are already doing online," stated Bill Daugherty, Founder and co-CEO of
iWon. "We welcome David into the iWon family of winners."
