AND I WON! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

I'm winner number 97! Have never been to hot seat before and never seen anyone win. Am still in shock! Was with my DD10 and a friend Diser (lori-in-ny) and her daughter.

It was totally cool. Almost from first, I thought about how I couldn't wait to get back and share the news with 75,000 of my closest friends!

Guess I'll need to go over to the Cruise Forum and start reading up!

WHOO HOOO :teeth:
 
The big prize is a 3 night cruise on DCL for 4 including airfare, tips, transfers, etc.

Also got the 15 pin set and lanyard. Each pin has the point level on it up to the 1,000,000.

Cool bomber jacket, leather and material with logo on back and "I'm a million point winner" front.

A medallion--size wise it's more of a paperweight

A polo shirt and the 1000 point hat.
 

Congratulations!!! That is great.
 
That's so exciting! Congratulations! Dh and I went there in September and I didn't realize how nerve-wracking it is to be there in person. Even just playing along from the audience I was nervous...I can think so much better and quicker from the privacy of my own living room. I can't imagine how nervous the one in the hot seat must be!

Anyway, enjoy your prizes!

Congrats!!!

I made it to the HOT SEAT on Oct 14th. I missed on the 9th question. At least I used all my lifelines and tried I guess.

I have never seen anyone win though. That is so cool! Have you been on the cruise before? My girls were disappointed that all I won was some pins and and hat. They wanted a cruise. :tongue:

Enjoy! Proud of you... I know how hard it is.
 
That's wonderful! I'm curious- were you confident right up to the last with the questions, or did you have moments wondering if you knew it or not, but figured it wasn't money anyway, so why not go for it?
 
It's really hard to remember the questions and I may not even be remembering in the right order--kind of blurred. The last two I know I had no lifelines left. I think the last few questions were:

Would a body builder be a:
A. Isomorph B. Ectomorph (or something like that)
C. Mesomorph D. somethingelse morph (don't remember)
A or C sounded like real classifications. Remembered them from school or something so did the 50/50 and it left A & C. I figured ISO would be 'still' as in isometrics so did C and that was it. Was pretty sure after they eliminated the others.

Next, Somebody (forgot first name) Lichtenstein is an:
A. Architect B something C something D Artist
I was pretty sure it was artist because remember some running joke on tv with the phrase "It's a Lichtenstein". But did the phone a stranger and the man said artist. Was pretty sure about that

Then was out of lifelines.

I think the next question was "the Pharos of Alexandria" is a
A Pryamid B Statue C ???? D Lighthouse
Saw a travel channel or discovery show on stuff they've found at the site and under water and the main thing they talked about was the giant lighthouse. So that was my answer.

The last question was about a author AB Guthrie, Jr. What did the AB stand for. This was guessing time. I choose the strangest names there figuring that it was a family type name and thinking if I had this name I would use initials, too! I think it was Alfred Bernam

It was a great experience. The folks and the host -- it was the black lady, I think her name is Asha -- were so nice! Folks in the audience were really nice too and they went Nuts along with me and my daughter and friends! There were streamers all over the place.
 
WOW! I was actually in the audience for you win! I was actually on the top of the leader board for you after your 10th question! But if I wasn't going to make it in I was glad to see someone win the cruise! Never seen that before. I was wondering when I saw 10/16 whether that was you but I remember the Mesomorph question so it was definitely you!

Congrats.
 
Oh, and the painters first name was Roy - you'd probably recognize his art in a second if you saw one - they're very distinctive! You probably just never knew the name.
 
Hightown that's excellent:Pinkbounc :bounce:

We rented points off of Lori for our trip last week. It was wonderful.

Pamluvsdisney-I think I was watching you. Was it the 10:30 or 12:15 showing on the 14th because I was at both.?
 
Hi Sharon...guess what YOU WON..


That was the talk of the weekend. Callie, Sharon's daughter is so excited she could not wait to try on the jacket.
It was so exciting to watch. I would of been done by question 7 or 8.

Sharon, I see you made it home ok? We did too, a little late but what can you do. Had a 35 minute delay in ATL after already having a 2 1/2 hour layover. Arrived home about 11:20 my time. Let me know what dates your considering for the cruise and we will see how things work out.

This weekend was alot of fun and full of surprises, it will be hard to top. Thanks for the great weekend.

HOCKEY MOM...I'm glad you guys had a good time. I'll PM you soon.

So everyone good luck on your try to get into the HOT SEAT..

Lori
