Husband Lays Claim to CrackaJack Prize

Sherry Alexander of Lebanon, Indiana, a relatively new member of AdJack, won the September 19 CrackaJack prize of $1,000, becoming the eighth winner.

The veteran contest player says “I’d only done two or three weeks of contests when I won.  That’s it.” Which may explain why she wasn’t fully aware of how the AdJack program works.  She has her husband to thank, twice.  He told her about AdJack, and when she missed the first email notice that she won, he found the second email telling her she was fast approaching the prize expiration date.  “I went into panic mode.  I said, ‘oh my gosh!  What do I do now?’” She began to post comments in the news section.

AdJack CEO David Boland saw the posts and emailed her a third time, explaining that normally, winners’ correspondence is conducted via email. The effort to notify her sparked a lively discussion in the AdJack news column.

She and Boland finally connected, and perhaps several AdJack members now have a clearer understanding of how winners are notified—always by email, unless they happen to be tuned in at the time of the drawing, and see for themselves that they have won.  But it appears that Sherry’s battle for the money is only beginning.  Since her husband told her about AdJack, then rescued the second email notification that she won, she says, “He keeps telling me how he’s going to spend the money.”
