iWon.com awards Kimberly Lamagno $1,000,000!
Running Springs, CA, Resident Wins Ultimate Birthday Gift in Portal's First Guaranteed Monthly Giveaway
Irvington, NY, November 15, 1999 - iWon (www.iwon.com), a CBS-backed destination Internet portal combining world-class search, content and functionality with the Internet's largest guaranteed cash giveaway, today announced that Kimberly Lamagno of Running Springs, California, is the recipient of its first $1 million Monthly prize giveaway. Ms. Lamagno was announced as the $1 million winner during CBS's Touched by an Angel last evening. Coincidentally, Ms. Lamagno's 38th birthday is today!
"Wow, what a birthday present," said Founder and Co-CEO Jonas Steinman. "I'm sure this is a birthday that Kimberly will never forget."
Ms. Lamagno, a mother of two and a partner in a vintage boutique in Running Springs, said she intends to spend her first days as an iWon.com winner with her seven-year-old daughter, shopping in style along New York City's Fifth Avenue, taking in a Broadway show and sampling some Japanese food at an upscale Manhattan restaurant. She also plans to buy a new home, as well as replace her car, which was damaged in an accident a few weeks ago.
"I still don't believe that this is actually happening," Lamagno said. "I knew that someone was going to win; I just never thought it would be me. Now I'm going to be able to give my daughters a better life, and that's the most important thing in the world to me."
"We are delighted for Ms. Lamagno," said Founder and Co-CEO Bill Daugherty. "It's fantastic that people like Ms. Lamagno are being handsomely rewarded for doing what they're already doing online, such as checking their email, checking their hometown weather and searching the Internet. Kimberly is the first of many iWon.com millionaires we will be announcing in the coming months."
All $10,000 Daily winners are posted on the site each day, while the $1 million Monthly winners and the $10 million Tax Day winner are announced in prime time on the CBS Television Network.
Participation is free, and entries accumulated by users are displayed and updated on a real-time basis through an innovative and patent-pending entry tracking system that appears at the top of each page.
The next iWon.com $1 million Monthly prize announcement will take place on December 12, 1999 during CBS's Touched by an Angel.
