Imagine seeing a big, iWon million-dollar check outside your neighbor's house and later finding out it's for you! That's exactly what happened to our latest winner, Jill Hayes. I saw the Inside Edition film crew across the street at my neighbor's house. Once I caught a glimpse of the big iWon check, my mouth dropped open and I thought, "No fair!" Finally I realized that the crew was headed my way and it put me in a state of shock. It was just fabulous! I immediately called my parents, who live just a few minutes away. When I told my Mom that I had just won $1,000,000 from iWon she thought it was a late April Fool's joke! Once she realized that I was telling the truth, we decided to celebrate! My parents came over, we picked my son up from school and we went out to breakfast. It didn't take my son long to decide that he wanted to buy a jet ski! The past few years I have been on disability because I suffer from Fibromyalgia, a chronic muscle fatigue disorder. Both my parents and younger brother, who is a software engineer at Microsoft, have helped me with my finances during this difficult time. Finally, I have the chance to give something back to them! We were all planning to take a family trip to Mexico in the fall, so when I called my brother to tell him the good news, I surprised him by saying, "The trip's on me now!" Entering contests has always been one of my hobbies, but I have never won anything on the Internet before. Since November 1999, I have been faithfully logging on to iWon every day to check my stocks, the news and play the iWon Prize Machine -- but I never thought I'd win $1,000,000! Now, thanks to iWon, I won't have to worry about my finances ever again!
