Surprised Client Wins $1000!!!

34-year-old Ana Padilla didn't think much of it, when at a routine visit to Best Insurance Services (BIS) in Moreno Valley, she was asked to fill out a coupon for a chance to win $1,000, little did she know less than a month later she would be the winner. Padilla, a long-time Moreno Valley resident who has been a client with BIS since 2008 shared her experience, "I thought, 'My chances are probably one in a million!' but I filled the coupon out anyway, just to be nice!" That decision payed off when she got a call from Shop N' Win publisher, Margie Miller, informing her that the coupon she had filled out was the winning sweepstakes ticket and that she had won the prize money. "I'm still in shock!" Padilla shared, "I was sure they were pulling my leg!" Padillo's sister, 19-year-old Ivon Preciado said she was surprised at the news, "It was unexpected, but good for her!" she said. Padilla, who is engaged and says she has a small family consisting of her, her sister and parents, said that she will probably save the money for a rainy day. "On the other hand," she said, "I do want to go sky diving for my birthday coming up." Padilla is a cancer survivor. She studied in medical school for a while and took a break when she found out she was sick. One day while at work at a surgeon's office, she was asked to interpret when an interpreter wasn't available. She has been a Medical Interpreter since 2009. If you haven't already filled out one (or more) Shop N' Win coupons this month for your chance to be the next $1,000 winner, call (909) 825-1115 to receive your free copy of the Shop N' Win-the coupon book where the more you shop the better chance you have to win!
