AdJack

First Week Newbie Wins Big

Carolyn Yarbrough of Friendsville, Tennessee had been coming to AdJack simply to watch the commercials for a while before she decided to join and enter the sweepstakes. 

Last week she joined and played the game, and when 6 p.m. Friday, August 1 rolled around, presto!  She hit the CrackaJack pot, matching four out of the first five numbers in no particular sequence, and the sixth AdJack bonus number.  She shares the prize with Amber Stamper of Williamsburg, Virginia, who also matched four out of the first five numbers and the bonus AdJack number. 

Carolyn had the number 15 in her winning sequence, but was not online at the time of last Friday’s live drawing. As luck would have it, David Boland submitted it.  Even though the AdJack CEO isn’t eligible to win, he still enjoys playing.  He isn’t certain that his number 15 was the number that made it to the computer first, but he says he likes to think he helped make the win happen for Carolyn. 

“This is the first time I have ever won anything on line,” she says.  She describes herself as a country girl who enjoys doing art, graphics and photography, loves traveling, waterfall climbing and mountains, and is married for almost 20 years “to the most wonderful man in the world.”

She entered her first online sweepstake about three weeks ago, so is surprised at her sudden good fortune. “I’ve been playing the same numbers on the Tennessee lottery for years. Those numbers are not getting it.  So I didn’t pick my own AdJack numbers. I let the site do that.

“When I first went to Adjack I was not thinking of entering; I was just watching the commercials.  I love the Budweiser ads, especially the one about the little underdog who doesn’t get picked for the fire department.  I’m always for the underdog,” she says. 

“I find some sites annoying and time consuming, but I think the reason I stayed at Adjack was because the commercials are good ones, ones I have watched on television and have always enjoyed.  I think a good commercial is as entertaining as the shows and movies on television.”
