Campbell wins car giveaway
|
Campbell was the grand prize winner Thursday night when the mall held its annual car giveaway. She had the winning ticket which earned her the keys to a 2005 Chevy Cavalier supplied by Edd Rogers.
“I guess you could say it’s my lucky day,” said Campbell, who had trouble convincing her husband, Nolan, she actually won while talking to him on a cellphone. “He kept telling me I didn’t really win, and I kept saying yes I did.”
The win wasn’t by accident. Campbell had 20 tickets, which means she spent at least $1,000 at the mall since every $50 worth of merchandise could be redeemed for one ticket.
You could say she had a little help from her friends, or in this case her family.
“My mother-in-law gave me all of her Kroger receipts,” said Campbell, who also won a $100 mall gift certificate with another ticket. “Today is my brother’s birthday so it probably is lucky.”
Campbell usually drives a Dodge Caravan. The Rock Island resident and mother of two says she’s not sure what she’ll do with the car.
