Today I'm sitting at work entering online sweeps in my downtime. A coworker asks if I've had any good wins lately and I say, "No, not really in awhile." A matter of minutes later, I won a bag of Bliss chocolate candy.
Tonight I get home and see a slim FedEx envelope laying on the kitchen counter. I'm thinking, "ooh..a win", but don't get my hopes up. Then I open it and see the words I've always wanted to see -
GRAND PRIZE WINNER!!!
I won 1 of 5 grand prizes from the Gillette Play A Champion sweepstakes.
Gillette - Play A Champion WIth Dad 8/15
My prize consists of a 5 day/4 night trip on 11/29-12/2/08 for a winner and a guest to
Barcelona, Spain! It includes round trip coach air transportation, hotel accommodations, $1,000 spending money, airport transfers, and the chance to play soccer and/or meet with Thierry Henry. Total value is $5500!!!
Now I just have to make sure dh can take time off from his new job. Neither of us have ever been overseas and he's a former soccer player, so this is certainly a dream for us!
