I won the Blockbuster Race Car sweepstakes a few months back. The prize was a $3,500 gift certificate for driving lessons and a $1,500 Visa Card.
There was some snag with awarding the prizes, and I so far only got the lesson certificate. The day we got it we were told our lease wasn't being renewed on our apartment and we had 28 days to find a new place to live. We are broke...
Luckily we were able to sell the certificate on eBay. It was just enough money to pay for a first moth rent and security on the new place.
I'm still waiting on the other half of the prize, and that looks like it's coming tomorrow. Just in time to pay for the movers and little things you always need in a new place.
Without this win, I don't think my husband and I could have managed a quick move like this.
Sweepstakes saved us from being homeless.
