    Grand Prize Winner--HGTV 2009 Great Fall Fix-Up Sweepstakes

    Yesterday afternoon I received a phone call from Scrips Networks (HGTV) in New York, NY informing me that I was the:

          Grand Prize winner of  "$75,000.00"  in the HGTV GFF-U 2009 Sweepstakes!!!

    The sweep was a daily & ended on 10/2/09.

    At first I actually thought the phone call was a scam. I told the woman who called me, "Yeah, right, sure...tell me you wouldn't be skeptical if someone called & told you-you won $75K..." But after speaking to her for a while, phoning her back at the Scrips Network office in NY to confirm her phone call and receiving three corresponding email messages from HGTV....I think I went into shock. (I even contacted Mr. Sweepy to inform him & verify information about the sweep.) I also downloaded a copy of the sweep rules for my files.

    After a long, almost sleepless night--up & down ect., this morning I caught my breath & my feet finally feel like they are back on the ground again. I was informed that the Affy & other paperwork will be sent out by FedEx on Friday (today) & will arrive here Monday morning. I still think I'm in mild shock--since I've been daydreaming and forgetful quite a bit today. From what I understand, HGTV will issue a check for the $75K.

    This afternoon I said a second prayer of thanks & decided to post the win. I am so thankful to God and of course to Mr. Sweepy for this great web site! Additionally I hope some of my "winning-luck" seeps over to other ST members! All I can say is keep on keeping on.

    Wishing continued success to each of you & GLTA!!!!!

    Is that ever awesome!!  No wonder you could hardly believe it... What a wonderful win and you can use the $$$ for whatever purpose you want!  (Just make sure you save 25-30% for Uncle Sam and the Governor of Minnesota!!)  Enjoy and just wait till you go to the bank with that check!  Even getting the affidavit notarized and mailed will be exciting.. (Have copies made of it for your "scrapbook"!! )  E N J O Y !! What a great story....anyone of us would go into shock about something like this..    Evie

    That is fabulous, congratulations!  If it is cash even better - it would pay for taxes plus a year of college tuition, room and board at some of the places my daughter wants to go to school.
