Tax Day began early for Ann Pursche, who received a pre-dawn wake-up call she'll never forget. That's when we surprised Ann with the news that she had become our fifth iWon Annual Millionaire!
"It was pretty early, and I'm not a morning person," Ann said. But she admits she woke up in a hurry after hearing she had won what she calls "the ultimate Tax Day return."
Hailing from The Golden State, Ann is a native Californian ("third generation") who certainly knows a thing or two about being blessed. In addition to working as an electrical engineer, Ann is a Sunday School teacher. And her plans for the money would certainly make her students proud!
"I plan to give the church the first cut of my winnings. Then, because my roommate is a poor, suffering master's degree student," Ann says, laughing, "I may help her out a little with her school loans. I also now have money to travel, and I'll put some toward my mortgage and home repairs."
Ann has been using iWon since 1999.
"I started using iWon soon after it launched. I like getting my news and sports scores from the site. It has a very good summary of everything. I enjoy the way the My iWon personalized page summarizes everything for me."
Congratulations, Ann! And thanks for being such a loyal iWon user!
