With six kids I have my hands full getting ready for college finances. My oldest is 16 years old, so in a couple years he'll be off to school. With this money, now I can look towards starting college funds for all my kids, and investing some for retirement. I'm also planning to buy a real nice Christmas present for my wife -- something she'd never have thought of asking for, before now, since it was always out of our reach.

One of the real nice things about winning this money is how it's going to change our lives. Not in a Bill Gates-style, of course, but in the little things it brings to light. A couple weeks ago, my wife mentioned she thought maybe she needed to go back to work to help pay for our kids' college tuition. So, obviously, she was really excited when I won. "This is a real Godsend," she told me, "I don't HAVE to go back to work right now. I can go back on my own terms and in my own time." With a one-and-a-half-year-old at home, that's a nice thing.

My kids are pumped, too! I went in the TV room to tell them I'd won -- one of the few times all six of them were in the same room at the same time. I walked in, turned off the TV, and was greeted with boos. Then I told them the news.

"What do you mean?!" they asked. It wasn't long, though, before they started saying, "Wow, can we get this for Christmas now, Dad?" They started updating their Christmas lists! My oldest daughter said when we go into New York City next, we'll have to stop by Saks Fifth Avenue.

Winning all this money really hasn't sunk in yet. But I'm looking forward to when it does!

What do you like most about iWon? I like the layout of the site. I also like that someone I know actually won!

My brothers and sisters know about iWon now so the word is spreading. They're telling me they're maxing out on their 100 entries a day. The nice thing is each time I've gone back to the site, I've noticed each day little updates and changes. Many other sites are so cluttered, but this is not cluttered at all, and I can also tell they're working to make things better all the time.
