Brooklyn Woman With Six Children Receives Lucky Windfall
Stay-at-Home Mother, Miriam Berkowitz, Wins $1 Million Dollars on iWon.com
(Irvington, NY, December 12, 2000) - When iWon rang the doorbell at the home of Miriam Berkowitz from Brooklyn, NY, she would not come to the door. After a little coaxing, Miriam popped her head out the window and got the surprise of her life! The stay-at-home mother of six found Inside Edition TV cameras and representatives from iWon (www.iwon.com) waiting to tell her the good news. Miriam Berkowitz is iWon’s latest monthly $1 million winner!
Miriam, 30, lives at home with her husband and six children ages 8, 7, 6, 4, 3 and 18 months. She loves to work on crafts such as needlework and sewing and also teaches a crafts class to girls ages six-12. As soon as she heard the good news she called her husband and asked him to come home from work. He was shocked to arrive home and find a $1 million check in his living room with his wife’s name on it.
When asked what she plans to do with the $1 million, Miriam, who was still astonished, stated, “I will invest some, give some to charity, and start to build my dream kitchen!” Miriam began using iWon in August. She uses the site to check the weather, read the news and go shopping – all of which earn her entries into iWon’s Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Annual guaranteed cash prizes.
“I have never won anything in my life – until now. Using iWon to read the news, check the weather and go shopping is so easy – and the fact that I won $1 Million for doing what I would normally be doing is amazing. I never really thought that I would win $1 Million on iWon - maybe $10,000. This is a dream come true!” commented Miriam.
“We are thrilled to announce Miriam as iWon's lucky 14th $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 Miriam into the iWon family of winners.”
