Hometown: Floyds Knobs, Indiana Occupation: Director - Market Analysis and Valuation, LG&E Energy Corp. Family Members: My wife Sharon, and my sons Collin (9 years old) and Christopher (7 years old). Pets: Penny, our dog.
Imagine coming home one night to find your house full of complete strangers, bright lights and TV cameras... "I returned home from a business trip in Atlanta, walked into my living room and was surprised to find all these bright lights and people I didn't know. My wife and two little boys were sitting there, and all these strangers. All I could think was, 'Who are all these people, and why is it so bright?' I thought that maybe there was an election season thing going on, and our family had been selected to be interviewed by a political candidate on TV. Hearing the words, 'You've won 1 million dollars' is not exactly what I expected to hear next! It didn't sink in at first, then I heard them say they were from iWon and I put it all together. This is certainly the first time I've won anything of this magnitude. Many years ago I lived in Arizona, and I was chosen at half-time of an Arizona State basketball game to shoot a free throw in front of everyone for a chance to win tickets to New York. I made the shot. But I'll tell you, winning $1 Million on iWon was sure easier than making that free throw! I'll probably use my winnings to save for our future and retirement, my boys' education, some gifts for friends and family, pay off the house. We're also boat shopping for the first time. My family has taken a few vacations where we've used motor boats, and now we're seriously looking to get one of our own! I've been an iWon user for close to a year. I use it typically first thing in the morning. I'll check the news and see what's happened over night, read about what business issues have come up worldwide... I also use it to follow the market, check sports scores and things like that. I'm particularly interested in general news - following the political season, stories about the election. Funny, it just never crossed my mind that I would win. I don't really feel any different having won, and I don't want it to change me. I want to use it for good things in my life - I want to make it a positive experience. It's quite a surprise.
TV Show: "Seinfeld" Book: "The Count of Monte Cristo" Musician/Group: Scott Hamilton Quote "The only thing that's new is the history I haven't read" - Harry Truman

Anything else you have won before: Plane tickets to New York for making a free throw during half-time of an Arizona State basketball game. What do you like most about iWon? It's a well-organized site, it's easy-to-use and, of course, the money! |
