Our June $1 Million prize winner is no stranger to big prize jackpots. But until now, he's always been the one giving away the money. John Grasso, you see, is a Slot Services Supervisor at Harrah's Casino in Atlantic City. "I was born and raised in Atlantic City. In October, I'll have worked where I do now for 20 years - 3 years as a Slot Attendant, and the rest of the time as a Slot Supervisor. I really like my job. I get to meet some nice people, and there's plenty of excitement. I've seen a lot of people win a lot of prizes... if you play the right slot machine at the right time, you can win lots of money." But John admits winning on iWon is better, hands down. "Slot machine winners have to pay to win... iWon didn't cost me anything!" "My wife was stunned when she found out I had won. She thought it had to be a joke someone at work was playing on me. I'm not a very excitable guy, but it's beginning to set in. I'm really happy. This will help with my kids' college. I already have a vacation planned for August, but now I may schedule one for this winter, too. And I'll probably buy myself a new bicycle. I've been racing as an amateur for about 4 years now. I try to follow pro racing whenever I can, as well." John's job and bicycle racing keep him busy, but he makes the most of his time online. "I started using iWon about six months ago. I saw a commercial, then checked iWon out and thought you would have to be crazy not to use it with all the money and prizes you give away. It's my homepage, so it comes up every time I use my computer. I don't have time to read a newspaper in the morning, so I get my news from iWon. My weather, too, and sometimes stock prices. I plan to keep using it, too."
