"When iWon and the television crew arrived at my door, I thought it was a joke at first because I couldn't see them. I live on the second floor and I had to go to the window to look outside before I let them in. Once I knew it was real, I couldn't believe it - I was blown away! It was like an out-of-body experience! The first person I called was my husband, Eli. He was away from the office for the day, and I told him he had to come home. He immediately said, 'No, I can't.' So I told him, 'But you have to.' We went back and forth like that for a while, until he eventually agreed. I still wasn't sure he was going to come home until he finally walked through the door. And when he finally did, he was in shock. It was the most surprised I've ever seen him! He told me later that he was worried something was wrong. So this was really good news for him! The next people I called were my parents. Then I called my 87-year-old grandmother. She was just so happy for us. It's unbelievable! My birthday is in February, so this is a wonderful, early present. The first thing I want to do with the money is visit my parents who have been living overseas for the past 6 years. I haven't seen my father since they moved there, and I haven't seen my mother in 3 years - so this money will make it easy to visit them! I also hope to put some of the money towards a new house for myself, Eli and our 6 beautiful kids to live in! After that, I want to build my dream kitchen. In fact, the first thing I did was go to the local appliance store to look at Viking ovens. I love baking and experimenting and finding new recipes - and the money should help me do plenty of experimenting in the kitchen! I use iWon all the time to check the news, the weather and read soap-opera updates -- but I never believed it could happen to me. Well, maybe the $10,000 daily prize, but certainly not the $1 Million. Now I just want to use the money wisely and make it last!"
