Hometown: Rainsville, Alabama Occupation: I'm an over-the-road truck driver, but at present time I'm off-duty due to illness of cancer. Family Members: My wife Patricia, and my sons Ryan and Michael. Pets: Kelly (Lhapso Apso); Arthur Poncherille (Lab and bulldog)
"For several years my father has been telling me I was going to win some money, but did I think I would win using iWon? Mercy, no! I just thank the Lord for such a gift in my life at a time when it is really needed. I was healthy for 47 years before this illness happened. When I found out I'd won, my wife screamed real loud - nearly busted my ear drum! I was totally shocked at the news. That's a lot of money for an old boy from cotton country! With the money, I plan to establish a college account for my son (12 years old), maybe buy him a go-cart. My church is building an addition, so we'll help give to that, and my son is in the Boy Scouts - so I can help pay for a new roof and air conditioning for their new clubhouse. The Boy Scouts is a good thing. I was a scout in 1964 and 1965. Back then we really had to work. They don't seem to have to work as hard these days. I've been using iWon since March. I visit the auto section, I read the news, shopping, I go all over. I just sold my van today - but first, I checked resell prices and other information in iWon's auto area. You can pretty much find out anything about cars and trucks on the Internet today. Hey, maybe now I'll become a car salesman! I've lived in Rainsville most all my life, so I know most everybody in town. I'm figuring there's going to be a lot of people coming up to me and saying, "You didn't win that $1 Million, did you?" And I'm going to say, "Yep!" They'll just say, "You're kidding!" That's what everyone says here in Rainsville, "You're kidding!" But I'm not!
TV Show: "Law&Order" Movie: "Titanic" Actor: Sylvester Stallone Actress: Meg Ryan Musician/Group: Alabama Food: Steak and potatoes Web Site: iWon.com
Heroes: Walter Payton, football great; Paul "Bear" Bryant - Alabama's winningest coach; George Foreman, boxer. Who would you like to say a special "Hi" to? My family and friends. "Little Known Fact" about yourself? I always believed that someday, somehow, I would be financially-gifted, enough to get out of the trucking business. Hobbies/Interests: I love old cars and trucks, fishing and travel. After you won, who was the first person you told? My wife. Anything else you have won before: I won $60 in coins the first time I spun the ol' one-armed bandit (slot machine.) But I haven't won a thing since -- until now. What do you like most about iWon? It is easy to use. Points of interest are readily accessible. |
