Nevermind What Mighta Been

Oct 2, 2008  |  Comments (6)

The ninth CrackaJack winner, Russell Schultz of Canton, Michigan, won his first computer in the mid 1980s in a sweepstakes contest.

“It was a top of the line IBM,” Russell says.  “We got a lot of use out of it.”

Now Russell and his wife of 42 years each have their own computers.  He keeps his own scrupulously clean of spyware and hidden cookies with a daily scouring.  Even though he is supposed to steer clear of his wife’s machine, he says he tries to give it a weekly once-over.  She doesn’t play sweeps but she doesn’t mind that he does, and she especially likes it when he wins.

The retired General Motors autoworker, father of four and grandfather of 10, says he will probably hand over what’s left of the $1,000 prize after taxes to his wife to use for Christmas.  “I won’t have to attack the savings this year.” He’s thankful for the win, and chooses to forget that he was one number shy of scoring the $365,000 MadJack on September 26.

He likes the overall clean character of AdJack, especially the funny ads.  “I don’t like the ones that use profanity,” he says.  “I interrupt those and move on to something else, like the elephant singing in the rain, or the Michael Jordan commercials where he’s talking about how he didn’t get where he is overnight, that he worked hard.  I like ads that are funny, or helpful.“

    mikol354 - I am not sure how you reached the conclusion that Jason and Russell have previously appeared as winners on the site. Perhaps you see the story on the homepage and again in the News/Blog section of the website. Here is how it works. All news items are archived under News/Blog, which means homepage news items are repeated at News/Blog. This is the standard way blogs work. We also post the most recent winner at the top of the Sweepstakes page. Please notice under the feature article that we include photos of all Adjack winners, none of which are repeated. Due to privacy issues, I won't release the email address of each winner so you can verify they are not dummy winners. But you can head over to http://www.online-sweepstakes.com and read comments posted by several Adjack winners. Again, I can assure you that the sweepstakes is conducted fairly, without influence or manipulation from Adjack. David Boland Founder & CEO, Adjack, Inc

    dboland - The concern was when I noticed Jason Weber and Russell Schultz of Canton, Michigan name appear as winners. I have seen there names and pictures as winners before. The concern is that Adjack may be favoring these people and/or it does not have actual winners so its posting repeat dummy winners. Maybe.. not but, I do remember those two names and accoicated pictures along with those stories.

    mikol354 - Your comment is a bit unclear but it seems you think the same person has won the sweepstakes more than once. I am not sure why you think that is the case. We have had 10 winners none of which have won more than once. Furthermore, no one from Adjack was previously acquainted with any of the winners. I can assure you that the sweepstakes is conducted fairly without influence or manipulation from Adjack. David Boland Founder & CEO, Adjack, Inc.
