2010-12 Monthly Drawing Winners

Month	Winner	Prize
January 12'	Donald Bennett	$500 cash More Info A Little Help From A Friend Donald Bennett is our monthly drawing winner and banked a cool $500, but couldn’t have done it without the help of his girlfriend at the time. She sent him an email invite asking him to be included as her friend to enter his name into the monthly drawing. Donald said OK. About a year later, Donald is getting his picture taken at Lottery headquarters and receiving a winning check. He was very surprised to get the winning notification from the Lottery and credited his then girlfriend with giving him the opportunity to win.
December	Jenna Jourden	$500 cash More Info I’m a Champion! That’s what Jenna told us. She said she felt like a champion after confirming her winning Megabuck’s numbers on the Lottery’s Web site. Not only that, she decided to cut loose, throw caution to the wind and enter our monthly drawing. “What the heck” she said. She was feeling happy, lucky and all that other good stuff and thought it was a good time to get lucky, again. Well surprise, surprise! Guess who won the December monthly drawing and chose the $500 prize? Jenna you are a champion, again. Want to go for three in a row? How about an Epic Holiday Sweater Scratch-itSM?
November	Laura Frenzel	iPad2 More Info Winning’s Sweet in Sweet Home Laura Freznel and her husband have front row seats to one of Oregon’s premier country music festivals, the Oregon Jamboree in Sweet Home. That’s a good thing, because during that festival the Lottery’s finely tuned promotions team was busy putting on “one heck of a promotion” where you could sign up to win prizes, get Powerball® free play certificates and even step into a booth to for a chance to get additional prizes! Well, this was way too much to pass up for Laura and her husband so they dived right in and participated with a grin. Well, wouldn’t cha know it, she became our November Monthly prize winner, just for signing up. But that’s not all. She had the choice of three prizes and chose the iPad2, because it was financially prudent and her daughter could inherit her original iPad, which created good vibes and harmonious love within the entire family. Now that’s a sweet home!!
October	Stephanie Ann White	$500 cash
September	Missy Marshall	$500 cash
August	Rhonda Brandeberry	$500 cash More Info Shocked That’s what Rhonda was when she first found out she was the August monthly drawing winner. “I wasn’t expecting this at all,” said Rhonda. “When you sign up for things like this you tend to forget about them until you’re notified. Then, when you are notified, you think it’s a prank.” Well, this was no prank because Rhonda chose the $500 cash prize and that you can take to the bank. Rhonda plays Megabucks and Scratch-its and is eligible to win the monthly draw again. Have you entered the monthly draw?
July	Jeffrey Schafer	$500 cash
June	Jon Prussel	$500 cash
May	Hetty Brand	$500 cash She dreamed it! The March monthly drawing was held during business hours at the Lottery on Thursday, March 24. That night Jerry Gorsky’s wife, while talking in her sleep, woke her husband up and asked him how much money he’d won. Jerry, not wanting to engage in a sleep talking conversation in the wee hours of the morning, told her he’d won $20,000 and that she should go back to sleep. She did. That next morning the Lottery contacted Jerry to inform him that although he didn’t win the $20,000 like his wife had dreamed, he did win our March monthly drawing with an option to chose between three great prizes. Jerry chose the $500 cash prize. The best part of this story is Jerry will be giving $10 gift certificates to his coworkers and $100 to the Green Hill Animal Shelter. The rest will go for vacation.
April	Cameron Cotton	$500 cash More Info A love of coupons leads to the coast Cameron Cotton is our lucky April monthly drawing winner. Asked how she entered the drawing Cameron told us, “I love coupons and a banner on Facebook promoting Video LotterySM with an offer for free coupons caught my interest.” (For more info on Video LotterySM coupons visit oregonlotteryloyalty.org/video/). Cameron likes to play Lottery games like Powerball and Scratch-itsSM and was extremely surprised when she got the winning call. “It was so cool to finally win a prize. It’s a great feeling.” Cameron plans on spending part of her $500 prize on a mini getaway to the coast. Have fun Cameron!

February	Whitney Pettigrew	$500 cash More Info I’m gonna redo the bedroom! That’s what February’s monthly drawing winner, Whitney Pettigrew, said she is going to do with her $500 prize money. “I’ve been waiting to do the bedroom in a Moroccan theme and now I can,” said Whitney. Whitney plays Powerball®, Mega Millions®, MegabucksSM, and Win for LifeSM avidly and registered for the Monthly drawing while surfing the Lottery Web site for Raffle information. Whitney was skeptical at first when she received her winning email notification thinking it must be someone playing a joke. But after further investigation, our email turned out to be exactly who we said we were. From then on it was pure jubilation. “It’s not just the money that’s exciting” exclaimed Whitney, “it’s the winning itself. To be the person that beats the odds is an adrenaline rush. I took the email to work to show off and everyone immediately went to register for the monthly draw.” We think there was a spike in sign-ups that day. We’ll have to double check. Congratulations Whitney.

Well, he did and he won. Kyle is our November winner and chose the $500 cash as his prize. Kyle, who plays Powerball and Raffle, was very excited to win and mentioned that he will keep listening when we tweet.

It’s a good thing too, because Angela is our May monthly drawing winner and she chose the $500 cash option as her prize. Asked what was the best thing about the promotion (other than winning the money) she replied, “It was free. I didn’t have to spend anything to win. That’s a good thing, right?” That’s right Angela, it’s a good thing and there’s always a chance to win. Congratulations.
April	Lisa Van Lith	$500 cash More Info Weekend plans include the cash! Lisa Van Lith is our April monthly drawing winner and chose as her prize: the $500 cash. “I’ve got big plans for the holiday weekend and the cash is going to come in handy. Not that the Lady Gaga tickets and 102 Mega Millions® tickets weren’t attractive, it’s just that the money is going to fund my weekend fun,” Lisa explained. That’s OK Lisa, take the cash and have a great holiday weekend. As for the rest of you, (and Lisa too) we have some great prizes lined up for May.

March	Paula Moore	$400 Aerosmith Scratch-itsSM and “Box of Fire” CD Collection. More Info Yahoo! That’s what Paula Moore exclaimed after she was notified as the prize winner of our March monthly drawing. Paula said that after a long day at work she was relaxing at home, checking her mail on Yahoo, when our chance to win $500 for a night out with Zeus and Cleopatra promotion banner caught her eye. She decided to click through and enter the promotion and even took a spin on the free Cleopatra demo game. After opting in to receive communications from the Lottery, she was automatically entered into all monthly drawings for a chance to win fun and unique prizes. As luck would have it (and her husband says she is very lucky, winning contests all the time) Paula is the third prize winner in our monthly drawing.

February	Linda Thompson	500 Scratch-itsSM More Info Fish on! When Linda Thompson isn’t tying Steelhead jigs, or tending to one of her 20’x40’ greenhouses in Toledo, she has time to play Oregon Lottery® games. It’s a good thing Linda can find time to play games between tying lures and watering legumes, because she’s our 2nd prizewinner in our monthly drawing promotion. Linda, a frequent Powerball® and MegabucksSM player, said she regularly checks her numbers on our Web site and was enticed enough by our monthly drawing banner to click through and sign up. “What the heck” said Linda, “It was too easy.” When we contacted her she said she did a “double take” on our e-mail and (after reading it through a couple of times) jumped for joy. She brought her best “buddy” Diana with her to pick up her prize (500 Scratch-itsSM ) and told us that she, her husband and Diana had their work cut out for them that evening, watching a little TV and scratching their hearts out! Good luck Linda and let’s hope you catch another big one.
January	David Bottensek	Ten St. Patrick’s Day RaffleSM tickets, plus 105 Powerball® free plays. More Info Third Time’s A Charm Congratulations to David Bottensek of Pleasant Hill, Oregon, the first winner in the Oregon Lottery’s monthly prize drawing. Notifying David of his prize had us a little puzzled at first, after he failed to respond to two of our e-mail attempts. “I almost missed your e-mails,” said David, who hadn’t checked his e-mail for days. Our persistence paid off and everything turned out fine when he promptly replied to our third attempt. David selected as his prize, the ten St. Patrick’s Day RaffleSM tickets, plus the 105 Powerball® free plays. He chose the Raffle tickets and the Powerball free plays over the other prizes because of the chance to win big jackpots. Asked how he entered the monthly drawing David replied, “I was checking the jackpot numbers for Powerball and Megabucks® on your Web site, noticed the monthly drawing banner, and thought it would be cool to enter.” David’s no stranger to Lottery games, as he plays jackpot games from time to time. He really enjoys Win for LifeSM because of its great odds and numerous ways to win. “Win for Life gives you more chances to win more prizes. It’s a good ticket,” he explained. Thanks David and good luck on your next game.
