iWon.com Leads Millionaire Madness
iWon.com Boasts Twice as many Millionaires as "Who Wants to be a Millionaire"

Irvington, NY, June 18, 2000 - iWon.com, one of the fastest growing websites in the history of the Internet, is days away from giving away another million dollar prize, bringing the number to eight lucky millionaires - double the number of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". Millionaire madness has taken over the country and iWon is setting records too amazing to ignore. People are begging for more ways to win, more shows, games, lotteries, and only iWon is coming through with the most millionaires and the easiest ways to win.

iWon has made eight millionaires compared with "Who Wants to be a Millionaire"'s four. While some are focused on trying to answer questions correctly in hopes of winning a million, iWon users know there is an easier way. By awarding users sweepstakes entries for doing what they normally do on the Internet, such as using the site to search the web, email, go shopping, read the news, and find daily celebrity gossip, iWon offers Americans the easiest way to win guaranteed cash prizes. Don't miss this Sunday's Touched by an Angel at 8pm ET, when iWon announces its latest $1 million winner. iWon delivers what everybody dreams about-more money! A guaranteed millionaire every month is more than people can hope for from even the lottery.

While iWon boasts eight millionaires the competition doesn't end there. Because iWon gives away $10,000 a day, 30 prizes of $1,000 a week, $1 million a month, and $10 million on Tax Day, the site has far surpassed "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" and other games and giveaways with the number of people who have been awarded money. This Sunday's winner will add another winner to the long list that places iWon at the top.

"We're beating Regis 2-1 by giving away the easiest million around," said Bill Daugherty, iWon Founder and co-CEO. "It's exciting to know we have touched hundreds of people in the past eight months with our cash giveaway, and none of them has ever needed to use a lifeline or call a friend."

To date, iWon has given away more than $21 million in cash prizes.
