2012 off to a great start for Instant Gold Giveaway $49,000 grand prize winner.

Galveston, Texas – Dec. 12, 2011 – Dear Santa: All I want for Christmas is a new car! That is exactly what Hemanjan P. wished for while signing up at the Silverleaf Resorts kiosk in the Baybrook Mall. “I filled out the form because I really wanted to win that BMW.” Hemanjan never expected to be the grand prize winner of the $49,000 Instant Gold Giveaway.

After he was invited by the Award Verification Center (AVC) to visit Silverleaf’s Seaside Resort in Galveston, Texas, Hemanjan went to the gifting center to claim his prizes. There he received a $40 Visa® Gift Card, a cruise to the Bahamas, and an Instant Gold Giveaway scratch-off card. Hemanjan was so compelled by the beauty of the Seaside Resort that he decided to become a member.

A few weeks later Hemanjan received a phone call that his name was selected in the drawing for the Instant Gold Giveaway Grand Prize. “I thought the phone call was someone playing a joke because my luck is not that great.” It took two phone calls of sharing the great news with Hemanjan before it would sink in.

Hemanjan, who garnered debt while in college, plans to pay off his student loans and is even considering buying that BMW dream car. When asked what he would say to anyone given this opportunity? “I am telling everyone to sign up because you don’t need luck to win a grand prize.”

Congratulations Hemanjan P, our latest Silverleaf Instant Gold Giveaway Grand Prize Winner from the AVC.

INSTANT GOLD GIVEAWAY
GRAND PRIZE

Christmas comes early for Instant Gold Giveaway $49,000 Grand Prize winners.

TYLER, TEXAS – Nov. 30, 2011 – Christmas is coming early this year for Jessica and Doug S. who received their grand prize winnings in the $49,000 Instant Gold Giveaway. 

Jessica and Dale received their prize winner notification in the mail after signing up at a local grocery store near their home in Louisiana. They both toured The Villages Resort in Tyler, bringing their children along to discover the amazing indoor Waterpark At The Villages. They were so pleased after viewing the resort that they immediately purchased a timeshare unaware they would soon be the winners of the $49,000 grand prize.

Upon completing the preview, Jessica and Dale went to the gifting center where they received a $40 Visa® Gift Card, a trip for two to Orlando, and an Instant Gold Giveaway scratch-off card. Dale unquestionably let Jessica scratch the Instant Gold card because he considered her to be his lucky charm. The whole room screamed when Jessica scratched all 5 pots of gold. The Award Verification Center told Jessica she had just won the Instant Gold Giveaway of $49,000 to which she replied, “No I didn’t!”

Both Jessica and Dale have chosen to donate 10% of their winnings to their church and then plan on buying a new car. “This is a dream come true for us,” said Dale, “because we have been sharing one car for the whole family.” They are also planning on eventually using some of their winnings for a down payment on a new house. 

When asked what they would say to anyone who has the opportunity to enter Instant Gold Giveaway? “Go for it! I am telling all of my friends to sign up because it is very real!”

DEBBIE GARCIA
INSTANT GOLD GIVEAWAY
GRAND PRIZE

Being debt free is almost unheard of, especially during these trying economic times. That is no longer the case for Debbie G., the latest grand prize winner in the $49,000 Instant Gold Giveaway.

Debbie, a mother of two young children, was drawn to the Silverleaf Resorts kiosk at the Grapevine Mills Mall by their promotion of a getaway to the Great Wolf Lodge.  She agreed to preview the Silverleaf Resorts Vacation Store in Irving and also entered the $49,000 Instant Gold Giveaway.

Upon completing the preview, Debbie went to the gifting center where she received her Great Wolf Lodge getaway package, a $40 Visa® Gift Card, and an Instant Gold Giveaway scratch-off card. Debbie thought little about it when she did not scratch off the winning combination, until she received a phone call, during which she was told that her name had been drawn in the Instant Gold Giveaway second-chance drawing.
“I couldn’t believe it! I tried to keep it a secret until my husband got home but I just couldn’t keep it to myself,” she said.
She could hardly believe her eyes big check when she collected her check for $49,000 at the presentation ceremony on August 12 at the Silverleaf Resorts Vacation Store; and even then, it took a few minutes to register. 

Asked how winning the AVC Instant Gold Giveaway has changed her life, Debbie said, “It’s unbelievable! We are going to be able to pay off our car and be debt free.”

When asked what she would say to anyone who has the opportunity to enter the Instant Gold Giveaway, she replied “Sign up because it is definitely true.”

GESMA GREEN
INSTANT GOLD GIVEAWAY
GRAND PRIZE

Imagine, it’s early morning, you’re at work, and your task right now is to get your fuel tanker truck ready to head out on the day’s run. All of sudden your cell rings, you are not sure if you want to talk on your phone right now but after a quick thought you go  ahead and answer it anyway. The lady on the other end verifies your name and asks “Are you sitting down?” You tell her “No” and she reply’s “Well you might want to sit down I have some news for you”

That’s what happened when Silverleaf Resorts and the Award Verification Center called Mr. Gesma Green informing him that he was the latest $49,000 Grand Prize Winner of the Instant Gold Giveaway Sweepstakes. Yes, that is Forty Nine Thousand Dollars. According to Mr. Green, after taxes he netted around $43,000 – quite the tidy sum if one does say so...

Gesma entered into a drawing the Greenspoint Mall in Houston for a number of different prizes, including the Grand Prize of $49,000. Six months later he got the call - “This has definitely been a Blessing for me and the family. Maybe even life changing in a way…” The first thing he did was pay off all his bills - he proudly proclaimed he is all but debt free except for one car payment.  He was of course also able to help mom out by completing some badly needed repair work on her house and by covering some outstanding medical bills for her. He then made his wife happy by buying her a new vehicle, and after all that has even managed to start a custom T-shirt business at a local flea market. By all indications, Mr.Green really has made this windfall work for him and we really wish him all the best in the future.

Gesma said “I used to complain about how other people won stuff and I never won anything… No longer can I be a complainer - now that I’ve made it to the winner’s circle!”
