Persistence finally paid off for Ronald Kinsey - and a national television audience was watching.Earlier today, television viewers from across the country witnessed a special moment that Ronald is not likely to forget - when he was revealed as iWon's sixth Annual Millionaire LIVE on The Tony Danza Show!
Originally from Northern California, Ronald now works as a software engineer at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. This morning, TV star Tony Danza gave him the surprise of a lifetime when he revealed that Ronald was iWon's big $1 million winner for 2005 on live television.
"I have watched reality TV, so I know the crazy things people will do for a million dollars," Ronald said. "All I did was sign up for an email account with iWon.com, and today I'm a millionaire! I guess I'm the lucky one."
Ronald confessed that he was completely surprised at the announcement, and plans on spending his winnings on a new house....and possibly even a new boat.
Ronald is a perfect example of how loyalty and patience pay off in the end. As a member of iWon since January 2000, he uses iWon regularly for email - but also enjoys checking the news, entertainment, food and movie areas of the site. That's right - Ronald may have earned that winning entry simply by checking his local movie listings or emailing a friend.
Congratulations, Ronald! And thanks for being such a loyal iWon user!
