AdJack

Idaho Winner Proves Play’s the Thing

Jo Anne Johnson watches commercials at AdJack every day except Sunday. On Friday, November 14, the numbers 17, 5, 7, 23, 13, & 3 came up.  She had four out of the first five in no particular sequence and the AdJack bonus number 3, which gave her the day’s CrackaJack prize.  Hello $1,000!

The lifelong Boise resident says her son knows she enjoys playing sweepstakes, so he sent her an email about AdJack.  “I’ve loved entering sweepstakes ever since I retired 20 years ago.  It sort of replaced going to work every day.”

She spends an hour to 90 minutes each day entering contests, with a stop at AdJack always on the list.  “It’s fun,” she says.  “I like the ads.  There’s a good selection.  The ones I don’t like, I stay away from.  Like most people, I like the one about the troops coming home.  I still get teary-eyed when I watch it.”

She’s been an executive, a business owner, a wife and mother.  Now when she’s not driving around in the 2001 Dodge Caravan she won in a sweeps contest or watching commercials on AdJack, she ‘s writing plays.

“There’s a pretty good market around here for melodramas,” she says, laughing.  “I load my plays with corny lines and plenty of opportunities for broad acting.”
