Sgeis2We have a winner (again)!  Harry from Ohio was the second of three lucky people to win $50,000 in the eBay Sweepstakes!! Congratulations! We thought it would be great to learn a little more about Harry and the thrill of winning

Tell us a little about yourself:  I'm married to an amazing lady named Kimberly, we have been blessed with five awesome children. We are also proud grandparents. My wife and I are both involved in church ministry. I've been in public service for nearly thirty years, and looking forward to retiring soon. I enjoy spending time on the water. Among the things I've won have been personal electronics, music, and boat related things.

How long have you been an eBay member? I have been an eBay member since January 2002.

Trophy_3 How did you discover the eBay Shop Victoriously game? I found it when signing in to eBay one day. I entered the game twice. I picked the car icon the first time and the boat icon the second time.

Have you seen the new "Shop Victoriously" TV ads? What do you think of them?  The TV ads are quite clever, and are very nicely done.

What was your reaction when you won? It was like I was dreaming. It still feels that way.

Who was the first person you told?  "Bear", a friend and co-worker.

How do you plan to spend your Grand Prize? Since the dust has settled a little, I plan on investing the money.

What was your greatest "win" when shopping on eBay?  I've won several things. My favorite thing is my current phone, the LG Fusic, that I actually do eBay with.

What winning advice can you give to other eBay shoppers like yourself to assure they “Shop Victoriously” on eBay? Pay attention to feedback scores, ask questions if necessary, be patient.

Is there anything else you would like to share with us and/or the eBay Community?  eBay is American capitalism at its finest. To God be the glory for all of His rich blessings! And oh yeah, GO BUCKS!!!
