When Dave Achenbach, 24, learned he was one of four iWon members chosen to participate in the "iWon.com Annual $10 Million Giveaway", he was halfway through his first day at a new job. His reaction to hearing the news?
"I fainted," Dave says.
Talk about making a first impression. "I just blacked out. I lost feeling in my legs and then fell to the ground. I was temporarily paralyzed. My eyes were open, I just couldn't see a thing. That has never happened before."
Dave, a self-proclaimed "small town guy" who is a "pro wrestling fanatic," spent five months last year in the military -- an experience he very much enjoyed. "I was in the Army National Guard... stationed in Fort Jackson, South Carolina. And I loved it while I was in." Unfortunately, he had to be medically discharged due to vertigo.
Dave's parents were in shock when they heard their oldest son had been selected as one of show's participants. His brother really felt like Dave would win the $10 Million. And his brother has been accurate with such predictions before.
"The morning before my one close friend went into labor, my brother knew it was going to happen. I think he's part-psychic."
When it came to the $10 Million prize, though, Dave's brother was off by a little bit. But no one's complaining -- Dave drove home with a brand new Mercedes SLK-Class convertible!
With a car that nice, Dave is sure to be the envy of "small town" Bangor, Pennsylvania. And his appearance on the iWon.com Annual $10 Million Giveaway is sure to make him a hometown celebrity for years to come!
