    Big Win

    Well, big wins do happen.  On October 6th, I received a call from the administrator for the Sony Pictures-Convenant "Capture the Convertible" Sweepstakes.  I had won the 2006 Ford Mustang.  Ironically, I was getting married the following morning.  When the administrator called a few days later to make sure I'd received the paperwork, he said it was the first time a winner had not asked what they had won!  I was a little distracted that night.  It really didn't sink in until my wedding night.  Fortunately, I keep a file with all the rules from the sweepstakes I enter and was able to figure it out instead of waiting for the paperwork to arrive.  It was pretty embarrassing telling my family and friends that I had won, but I didn't know what.  My three adult children who were in for the wedding are now trying to decide how we should re-distribute the family fleet of vehicles.  Of course, they all want the Mustang!  Thanks for a wonderful site, Mr. Sweepy!!!

    Wow what a great win and even better story!  Big congrats on all the nice things that happen to you and especially getting married.

    It is funny how many times the family can make plans for a prize before the winner does.  It sounds like you are finding this out! LOL  It is one of the nice problems to have when you win big.  Better yet, tell the family members to come to ST and win their own car!

    Congrats again and sure you will have some great memories on this month.

    Re: Big Win

    After I received the paperwork for the car, my oldest son and daughter became very interested in this whole sweepstakes thing.  I guess they really didn't believe it until I had the paperwork.  I walked them through registering and now you have two new users.  They've returned to their homes now, both are in the Air Force.  From what I'm getting on their emails, the word is spreading about your site - they love it!
