Loyal iWon User Cashes In
Maryland Resident Wins $1 Million on iWon.com
(Irvington, NY, January 9, 2001) – Terry Fry of Potomac, MD has been a loyal iWon.com user for over a year, but never believed she would be lucky enough to win any money from the search engine. As Fry placed the final piece into a jigsaw puzzle she had been working on, her doorbell rang and TV cameras from Inside Edition and representatives from iWon delivered the good news - Terry Fry had become iWon’s latest monthly $1 million winner!
Fry, 66, a former mortgage broker, has two sons, Charles, 42 and Gordon, 41 as well as two grandchildren ages 16 and 13. She enjoys collecting movies and reads approximately three books a week.
When asked what she plans to do with the $1 million, Fry stated, “I intend to pay off my mortgage and both of my sons’ mortgages and save for my grandchildren’s education.” Fry has been using iWon since December 1999 and particularly values checking the weather, shopping for travel packages, and playing iWon Lotto and the iWon Prize Machine.
“I was floored when iWon first told me that I had won the million. I contacted my youngest son immediately to share the news,” said Fry.
“We are thrilled to announce Terry Fry as iWon's 15th $1 Million Winner,” said Bill Daugherty, Founder and co-CEO of iWon. “We welcome Terry into the iWon family of winners.”
