No Trick; All Treat for Ohio Winner October 31

Thomas McElwee of Columbus, Ohio was on the AdJack site Friday, October 31 trying to get one more set of numbers entered before the deadline but the clock beat him. Instead, he got the invitation to submit a number for the week’s drawing.

He submitted the number 26, then watched as the winning numbers began to materialize on the screen.  20, 4, 9…. so far, so good….15…. uh oh…. 26!  Wow!  And then the AdJack bonus number 1!

Touchdown!  He had four out of the five winning numbers plus the AdJack bonus number 1 which gave him the game, unless somebody else happened to score a winning set as well. An hour later, he got a confirmation email from AdJack CEO David Boland that he had indeed won the entire CrackaJack prize of $1,000.

“I was pretty excited,” Tom says.  “I called a couple of my friends and told them, and they were skeptical, thinking it was a scam. ‘No I don’t think so,’ I said.”

The tech support specialist has been selectively playing sweepstakes since early summer, monitoring Online-Sweepstakes for good contests.  He watches commercials on AdJack at least five times each week, usually opting for the funny ones.  Among his favorites are the Bavaria and Brahma beer commercials, and the Sasquatch series.  “I like the funny ones,” he says. “I have shared the Zazoo ad, the one for condoms, with friends,” he says, laughing.

“I like the AdJack site a lot,” he says.  “I have been reading the blogs. Recently I was glad to see an article about political buying power. I thought it was great.”
