Big Winner

So back in August Casey's General Stores were celebrating their 40th anniversary. One afternoon late in August I was in our local store, filling the van up with gas and picking up a Mountain Dew, when I grabbed a form for their "Gas & More Giveaway." I brought it home, mailed it in, and thought nothing more of it. I figured "Why not? You can't win if you don't enter." never thinking I would actually win.

Well...I won! They drew 40 winners, and I received a call recently letting me know that I was one of the winners! I was absolutely stunned! I've had decent luck at winning things now and then, but on a much smaller scale (tickets to concerts, hand lotion, etc). This prize package is by far the biggest and best thing I've ever won.

I won:

A TracFone and 1440 minutes airtime (I've currently got this listed on CraigsList...anyone interested? I'm very happy with my current phone & service, so I don't feel like changing it.)
52 dozen donuts
26 one-topping pizzas
26 12-packs of Pepsi products
and best of all....gift cards totaling $2500 for gas (or whatever else I would want from Casey's)

This has been so exciting, especially for the gas money! What we'll be able to save in gas money alone will be such a big help to our budget! Yahoo! The food related gift cards don't expire, so we'll be able to take our time using those, and the store (gas $) gift cards expire in a year, so we should be set for quite a while!

Here I am holding my winnings (well, everything but the phone and airtime cards). It was really crazy to open the package and see the stacks of gift cards. Hooray for me!
