So I scratched and I was a winner!! Now, my stepdad (Roger), in his infinite wisdom said "Wait, this has to be a gimmick--they wouldn't send out all these pamphlets to get people to come to their dealership if nobody won anything". Common sense slap in the face. I didn't care--I've never won anything like this and decided to take the chance anyway--so we went to the dealership Saturday morning.
Well, it was a HUGE sales event. And yes, the "flier/pamphlet" thing had successfully brought hundreds of people to the car lot. After I registered my name (so I could get some free food and be entered for a drawing they did daily for a prize) we walked over to the guy who looked at your number and sure enough, we won...$3 in gold coins. You see, one of the prizes said Up to $500 in gold coins (the others were a new Hyundai or $30,000, 60" 3D TV, or $1000). Son of a! We were so mad (mostly at ourselves)! Gaaahhh! But at least we got a free lunch out of it.
So Sunday morning I checked my email and I had one from Hunter Automotive...and this is what it said:
Randi, it is my pleasure to tell you that we drew your name from all the registrations yesterday at Hunter Auto Group. Please call me or stop by to pick up your check for $1,000.

I'm pretty sure I exclaimed some words that aren't appropriate for the blog. I called and sure enough, my name (that I had entered into the registration) was selected out of the hundreds of people to win $1000!!! So I gladly drove all the way back to the dealership to pick up the check. Handsome Taylor tried to get me to purchase some lottery tickets on my luck, but I forgot in all of my excitement...maybe tomorrow. All in all, it was a very good day.
