Austin, Texas Receptionist Wins $1,000,000 Prize; Plans to Start the Family She Has Always Dreamed of
Irvington, NY, January 16, 2000 - Evelyn Mata of Austin, Texas is iWon.com's first million dollar prize winner of the 21st Century. iWon (www.iwon.com) - a destination Internet portal that combines world-class search, content and functionality with the Internet's largest guaranteed cash giveaway - is giving away $10,000 every day; $1 million every month; and $10 million on Tax Day. It was announced that Evelyn Mata had clicked her way to a cool $1 million during CBS's City of Angels last night.
"We're thrilled for Evelyn," said iWon Founder and Co-CEO Bill Daugherty. "At iWon.com we enjoy rewarding our users by giving them the chance to win up to $10,000,000. And what a great way for Ms. Mata to start the new year!"
"I use iWon.com to shop, get maps, horoscopes, weather, news, research and to send and receive email," said Mata. "I can't believe I won a million dollars just for using iWon.com - something I love to do anyway - and it was free!"
Mata lives in Austin, with her husband, where she works as a receptionist at a local law firm. Mata's a self-proclaimed "information junkie," who loves to watch Tom Cruise movies when she's not logged on to iWon.
Mata says winning $1 million dollars will not change the style of her day-to-day life too much. "Right now my husband and I are planning to take a vacation in Florida," said Mata. "Then we'd like to move to a new home, buy a new car and start a family. iWon.com has made so many new and exciting things possible in my life."
And, as it turns out, Evelyn Mata seems to have "the Midas touch" when it comes to being a winner. In addition to her $1 million prize from iWon.com, she has previously won cash prizes from a local radio station giveaway and in the lottery.
iWon.com's $10,000 Daily winners are announced on the site each day, while the $1,000,000 Monthly winners and the $10,000,000 Tax Day winner are announced in prime time on the CBS Television Network.
