WOW!!! $250,000 Kwik Trip Contest Winner Revealed in Rochester, Minnesota

Last week, I had three days where I missed playing the Mountain Dew Kwik Climb game on my phone.  I got sick, ended up at the ER in Rochester, and I am fully convinced that if I didn't miss those days, my name would have been the lucky one picked for the $250,000 prize.

While the news of "not winning" is hitting 100,000+ of us Rochesterites hard, I have a feeling that everyone here is feeling a bit proud that one of our own took home the grand prize.  I am also pretty sure that I am a long lost cousin as well...no need to fact check family trees, I feel the connection.

Karen H. - huge congrats to you!  This prize is so much better than a free Karuba coffee (although, I wouldn't mind that just getting added to my Kwik Trip rewards...in case Kwik Trip is reading this.)
