(Irvington, NY, January 18, 2000) – iWon (www.iwon.com), one of the fastest growing sites in Internet history, and CBS (www.cbs.com) have joined to create the “iWon SURVIVOR Trivia Challenge,” a sweepstakes tied to watching the hit CBS Television reality series.
iWon will award $1,000 to each of the weekly winners of the “iWon SURVIVOR Trivia Challenge.” At the conclusion of SURVIVOR: THE AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK, the weekly winners will be flown to New York City to compete in the iWon SURVIVOR trivia contest on CBS’s The Early Show. The winner will take home the $50,000 grand prize.
To qualify for the weekly prize, viewers can enter the "iWon SURVIVOR Trivia Challenge" by logging onto www.iwon.com or www.cbs.com and answering five trivia questions about that week’s broadcast. Contestants may enter and answer questions until 11:59 PM, ET, the following Monday. Each correct answer earns 10 entries into the weekly drawing for $1,000.
The winner of the weekly drawing will be announced on The Early Show Thursday morning. The Trivia Challenge will also be promoted on the iWon website, on cbs.com, via email and through mentions following episodes of SURVIVOR: THE AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK.
“We are happy to be one of the select companies to create a promotional program tied-in with CBS’s popular SURVIVOR series,” stated Bill Daugherty, Founder and co-CEO of iWon. “This partnership is a prime example of a strong marriage between online and offline and is yet another way for iWon to reward our users.”
SURVIVOR: THE AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK premieres Sunday, January 28, immediately following the Super Bowl on CBS. It will be broadcast in its regularly scheduled Thursday, 8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT, time period beginning February 1.
