I honestly thought I was going to have a heart attack when I found out I was the winner.

How I Won The Giveaway Worth $250,000

The odds were stacked against me. Let me explain. It was a radio contest hosted by Rock 95 and 107.5 Kool FM and the prize was a $250,000 house. There were over 700 hundred other contestants who qualified for the house. On top of that, you had to be the 9th caller on the station to qualify.

And out of those 700, I had the winning number to get onto the list of 30 possible contest winners. Each of us had the chance to take a key from a fishbowl, walk up to the house, and try to turn the key. Twenty-one people before me were unsuccessful.

But when my turn came, I looked at my husband and told him I’d win ;)

And sure enough, I did. But for some reason I knew that I would be the winner. My heart was racing!

It was a huge score for me. You can even see what the media are saying about it:
