I wish Contest

Post by ShotInTheDark »

I entered a contest online back in april. It was hosted by the Oscar Meyer company. Well I recieved a letter from them certified last week that said I was a finalist in the contest. I had a lawyer witness the signing, and a notary authenticate it. But to make a long story short, I won the WienerMobile for the day and 5 grand in tools to work a bike (pedal) event in Salisbury MD Oct. 9th. I'll be sure to post pics of both my winning and the weinermobile.

Congrats. Dave Barry (humor writer for the Miami Herald) once got the Weinermobile for a day. He picked up his son from school in it. I'd love to pull up to my daughter's school (she's in 3rd grade) in the Weinermobile just to see the look on her face!

If I won that thing I would take it for a few laps around Michigan International Speedway!

Then she did at least win something. I once won a Joe Gibbs Racing jacket from a Food Lion MVP card drawing...I was quite shocked when the box showed up at my door, since I don't win anything. Ever. I can't even win a 50/50 drawing. LOLAnyway, congrats, have fun with the weinermobile!

well here's the update. I won! I got the weiner for the day pluys 5000 in cash!!! I bought 3300 dollars worth of tools and bike accessories to support the SeaGull Century bike ride. I'm donating the parts to the Bike club at the college I graqduated from. Hopefully that will help ease off the taxes from the prize. The rest of the money, well, I'm planning a trip to Hawaii in march with it!!!

Wow the $42.50 I won in the office 50/50 draw yesterday doesn't look so good anymore! Well at least it will buy me a nice dinner I suppose.
