| | Monday, 05/14/2001 | | Sarah Hopke Ronkonkoma, NY Excerpt from Sarah's Special Message: "Shawn and I want to have a child. We didn't think we could afford to have one for another four or five years, but with this money, now we can!" |  | | |
| |
| | Monday, 04/09/2001 | | Jill Hayes Greater Portland, OR Excerpt from Jill's Special Message: "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!" |  | | |

| | Monday, 03/12/2001 | | Wendy Reynoso San Pedro, CA Excerpt from Wendy's Special Message: "I was so excited at first - it was such an unbelievable surprise! My supervisor cried and the students that I work with were thrilled. Everyone is just so happy... it's starting to sink in a little, but at the risk of sounding trite - I still feel that it's not real. It truly is the ultimate birthday gift and it definitely eases the pain of turning 50!" |  | | |
| |
| | Monday, 02/12/2001 | | Shawntel Morton Harrisburg, PA Excerpt from Shawntel's Special Message: "Even as it starts to sink in, I still can't believe it really happened. I would log on to iWon, read the day's news and check out all the fun stuff I never thought I'd actually win - and now I'm a $1 Million winner! God bless our family and God bless iWon!" |  | | |
| |
| | Monday, 01/08/2001 | | Terry Fry North Potomac, MD Excerpt from Terry's Special Message: "I've been faithfully logging on iWon everyday since December 1999 to check my weather, play the iWon Lotto game and collect my 100 entries - but I never thought I'd actually win. Not a chance! My heart is still beating fast from the surprise!" |  | | |
| |
| | Monday, 12/11/2000 | | Miriam Berkowitz Brooklyn, NY Excerpt from Miriam's Special Message: "When iWon and the television crew arrived at my
door, I thought it was a joke at first because I couldn't see them.
Once I knew it was real, I couldn't believe it - I was blown away! It was like an out-of-body experience!" |  | | |
| |
| | Monday, 11/06/2000 | | David Sinclair Floyds Knobs, IN Excerpt from David's Special Message: "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!" |  | | |
| |
| | Monday, 10/09/2000 | | Frank McGoldrick Matawan, NJ Excerpt from Frank's Special Message: "When iWon showed up at the door, my father answered - he has the same first name as I do, Frank (Sr.) - and when they said they were from iWon, I thought... wait, they're not here to see Frank my dad, they must be here to see me! Needless to say, I'm sure my dad is going to start using iWon now." |  | | |

| | Mary Johnston Kenmore, WA Excerpt from Mary's Special Message: "The funny thing is, my husband and I were just talking about how we were going to have to tighten our belts this month, to watch how we spend our money. Last year, I was in a car accident and haven't been able to do the work I did before. Less than a month later, my husband was in a car accident, too. I guess you could say things happen to me in twos! Two kids, two car accidents, I ran two of my own businesses, and now TWO MILLION DOLLARS!" |

| | Wednesday, 08/16/2000 | | Gordon Hicks Rainsville, AL Excerpt from Gordon's Special Message: "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." |  | | |
| |
| | Monday, 07/17/2000 | | John Grasso Hammonton, NJ Excerpt from John's Special Message: "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. And I'll probably buy myself a new bicycle." |  | | |
| |
| | Sunday, 06/18/2000 | | Clara McKinney Hot Springs, NC Excerpt from Clara's Special Message: "Winning is going to take away all the money-stress for my husband and me... My husband and I run our own Internet business -- we sell ink -- from our log cabin. We live in a very remote area. It's about 45 minutes to the grocery store, and our township has only about 1,000 people." |  | | |
| |
| | Sunday, 05/14/2000 | | Thomas Sipes Little Rock, AR Excerpt from Thomas' Special Message: "I look forward to semi-retirement. I'm not going to just completely quit working, though... just taper down. I've worked all my life, I don't think I can just quit. You can only do so much fishing." |  | | |
| |
| | Saturday, 04/15/2000 | | Georgia Ann Vanator Blue Ridge, GA Excerpt from Georgia's Special Message: "I always check my weather, and I enjoy iWon Today, really love it -- I do that all the time, plus the survey. I answer the survey almost every day. I also like the way iWon recently changed their home page. Easy to find everything like My Weather and My Scores." |  | | |
| |
| | Tuesday, 03/14/2000 | | Arthur "Ti" Moyer from Adrian, Michigan Excerpt from Arthur's Special Message: "I always believed iWon gave away the money, but I didn't believe I had a shot at it! You have made it possible for me to no longer worry about paying for college for my two boys." |  | | |
| |
| | Tuesday, 02/15/2000 | | Josh Kantrowitz from New York, New York Excerpt from Josh's Special Message: "When I found out I won, shock was my overall first reaction... shock, followed by enjoyment. At first I was in disbelief, and now I'm finally realizing it's a reality. This is great. I'm still young, and this money is a real head-start for me." | | | |
| |
| | Sunday, 01/16/2000 | | Evelyn Mata from Austin, Texas Excerpt from Evelyn's Special Message: ". . . My husband and I have been renting our current apartment for six years. I'm eager to get my own place, especially since we're planning to have a family." |  | | |
