AWARD VERIFICATION CENTER – May 28, 2009 – Trudy and Bill S. received a wonderful surprise gift for their 40th wedding anniversary – the $49,000 Instant Gold Giveaway Grand Prize from the Award Verification Center.
After signing up for a sweepstakes drawing sponsored by the Award Verification Center at a home show, they received their prizewinner notification in the mail.
Trudy made the appointment for herself and Bill to claim their prize and took the opportunity to get some additional gifts for taking a no-obligation preview of Silverleaf’s Oak N’ Spruce Resort in South Lee, Massachusetts.
After completing the tour of the resort in the beautifully scenic Berkshires, Trudy and Bill went to the gifting center where they scratched off their Instant Gold Giveaway scratch-off card to reveal their prize.
Trudy said, “I scratched off five pots of gold to win the $49,000 grand prize, but I couldn’t believe it! It took a while for it to sink in.”
The couple collected their check for $49,000 at the presentation ceremony on June 10th, just a few days before their 40th anniversary, which they said they were looking forward to celebrating with family and friends.
Asked what he would say to anyone who received an Award Verification Center promotion, Bill said, “Go for it! If you get a chance, take the chance!”

GIVES AWAY $49,000
CORNELIA, GA – April 28, 2009 – Dreams really do come true. J. Duncan P. of Stone Mountain, GA, is one step closer to his dream of buying a home now that he has won the $49,000 grand prize in the Instant Gold Giveaway from the Award Verification Center.
It all began when J was invited to tour the Silverleaf Apple Mountain Resort in Clarkesville, Ga.
“The resort was beautiful. There were horses, golf, a swimming pool and an entertainment center.”
After completing the tour, J went to the gifting center where he participated in the Instant Gold Giveaway scratch-off. He won a 5-day, 4-night vacation to his choice of Aruba, Jamaica, Hawaii or Puerto Rico. He also received as a bonus gift, a vacation for two to either Las Vegas or Orlando, including round-trip airfare and two night’s accommodations.
Some months later J got the great news that his name was selected in the drawing for the Instant Gold Giveaway Grand Prize. The $49,000 check was presented to J on April 8, 2009 at the Silverleaf Apple Mountain Resort.
J P, who works three part-time jobs while attending college, was asked how winning the prize money will change his life.
“I’ll be able to realize my dream of buying that little house on the hill sooner than I had planned. I can also pay off some bills and invest some money.”
What would he tell anyone who receives a Prize-Winner Notification from the Award Verification Center? “Fill it out. Send it in. Believe it. It’s for real!”

INSTANT GOLD GIVEAWAY WINNER from the
AWARD VERIFICATION CENTER
DALLAS, TEXAS – Nov. 9, 2008 – Mel H. of Fort Worth, Texas, the most recent $49,000 winner in the Award Verification Center (AVC) Instant Gold Giveaway promotion, is sharing his good fortune with friends.
“I’m thrilled to do it. I’ve never had an opportunity like this. I’ve never won anything, so this is fantastic!”
Mel not only won the grand prize but also a gift guaranteed to every Instant Gold Giveaway participant – a vacation. The check for $49,000 was presented to Mr. Henderson on Nov. 9 at the Silverleaf Resorts Vacation Store in Irving, Texas.
Mel said he would donate a portion of his winnings to charity and take the opportunity to visit friends in Washington state during the Christmas holidays. The first thing he did after learning that he had won was call his friends to let them know he would spend Christmas with them.
Mel is the third AVC grand winner in 2008 and among dozens of participants who have received prizes this year.
As a guaranteed bonus gift, Mel also had his choice of a four-day cruise or a vacation in Las Vegas or Orlando.
“I chose the cruise to the Bahamas. Because there’s a casino on the ship, it’s like getting a trip to Las Vegas, too!” Mr. Henderson is sharing his trip with a friend who would not be able to go on a vacation otherwise and who will benefit from a much-needed getaway.
Mel was contacted by the Award Verification Center and invited for a vacation presentation after entering a drawing sponsored by the Award Verification Center at a Texas Rangers baseball game.
Asked what he would tell anyone contacted by the Award Verification Center, he said, “Answer it and do it. You never know, this could be you!”
