    Update on Prius

    Last year I was notified on my birthday I won a Toyota Prius and then a few weeks later was diagnosed w/cancer and husband lost job because he asked for time off to take me to the biopsy.  Anyway just to let all you sweeties know what's happened since then I am now fine and cancerfree so far.  The Prius is great. I drove it to MA to have my daughter interview for college and she got in a year early and got a fair financial aid package.  For those of you who warned me of the tax liability I had so many medical deductions I didn't owe income tax on the ARVof the car. And the sponsor was kind enough to pay state tax,tags,title and license because of the medical circumstances. I wrote a long thank you letter to the CEO of Verizon and I was truly grateful. Have not won much this year since I was kind of offline during radiation but am entering about 100 a day again and expect a big win any day now. Really, people do win one times, instants, all of them so don't be discouraged. It was nice to win a car because every time I get in I feel like a winner again. GLTA. I also have a post on additional sweepsatkes and contests for those of you who know people applying for college to win scholarships (not online college scams) but real scholarships.

    That is so wonderful. Glad things are looking up. I can't believe you did not have to pay any taxes. That is awesome. Of course I know you had lot other bills to worry about. Hope everything keeps going well with you for the future!    :)

    Thanks for the update..  Glad to hear things are going well.  I also own a Prius (had to BUY it, unfortunately) and am so happy with it.  Count your blessings, hope all goes well for you in the future.  It sounds like the sponsor, Verizon, was very very helpful to you in the whole process.    Evie

    Re: Update on Prius

    Hey all.  I will be glad to post a pic as soon as my daughter comes home from college break  with the digital camera and she can help me upload it.  Except for entering sweeps online I am a tech illiterate. Also recently won a pizza dinner that a local realtor was giving away at a community festival.  I look for sweeps everywhere!

    Re: Update on Prius

    congrats on your win.   I have entered at least 100 or more sweeps and only won a bottle of rug cleaner and some coupons for a rug.   Well at least it is something.
