(Irvington, NY, May 9, 2001) – iWon, (www.iwon.com) the Internet’s leading loyalty-based portal, today announced that Tracy Caparoni of Kenvil, NJ has become the grand prize winner of the iWon Survivor Trivia Challenge. Competing against twelve others finalists on The Early Show in New York City, Caparoni answered the most questions correctly making her the $50,000 grand prize winner!
All thirteen winners were finalists in the iWon Survivor Trivia Challenge, a sweepstakes in which iWon users were asked to watch Survivor and then log onto iWon to answer five questions pertaining to each individual episode of Survivor. Users obtained ten points for each question answered correctly and were placed into a random drawing where three were selected as finalists. As finalists, they each received $1,000 and a trip to New York City to appear on the CBS Early Show to compete in the final round of the trivia challenge. Once at the Early Show, finalists sat at separate computer terminals and had five minutes to answer 100 questions about the entire season of Survivor: The Australian Outback. The three finalists with the best scores then moved on to the final round where they were asked questions by actual Survivor participant Keith Famie, a chef from West Bloomfield, MI. In the final round, Keith asked 10 trivia questions. Tracy correctly answered the most and won the $50,000 grand prize!
“I can’t believe that I actually won the iWon Survivor Trivia Challenge”, stated Tracy with tears in her eyes. “I am going to buy my husband, Ron, a motorcycle!”
