Mercedes Homes' Live in Style, Drive in Style Sweepstakes Winner
Melbourne, Florida (June 16, 2008)—Mercedes Homes is excited to announce the winner of the "Live in Style, Drive in Style with Mercedes Homes" Sweepstakes. Ms. Amy Moore of Atlanta, Georgia is our grand prize winner. Ms. Moore had the choice of a 2008 C-Class Sports Sedan from Mercedes Benz pre-paid 24 month lease in the Grand Prize winners name (approximate retail value-$15,000) or $10,000 in cash. Ms. Moore was also invited to select and remove two envelopes from 15 sealed envelopes. Two of these 15 envelopes contained a certificate for $100,000. Although she did not select both winning envelopes, she was ecstatic (and almost disbelieving) to win $10,000.
"In fact," Ms. Moore said, "my parents and I thought it was too good to be true. I mean, I have never known anybody that actually won something like this. I am overjoyed and give my thanks to Mercedes Homes."
According to Mercedes Homes eBusiness Director, John Kavaliauskas, "Of course we would have been thrilled if Ms. Moore had purchased a beautiful new Mercedes Home with her winnings. However, in all seriousness and being dedicated to furthering our own employees' education, we are very glad to learn she is putting the money to excellent use by applying it toward the cost of her Masters Degree."
John also said, "One of the main reasons for the Sweepstakes was to further promote Mercedes Homes' use of its Web site, www.MercedesHomes.com, and eBusiness communications. To that end, the Sweepstakes was very successful. We look forward to doing more promotions like this."
The sweepstakes began on December 17, 2007 and ended April 17, 2008. Registrants had three ways to enter: Visit the www.MercedesHomes.com Web site and complete the online registration form, visit a Mercedes Model Home and complete an on-site entry form or mail a 3" x 5" card with their contact information and birth date.
