November 16, 2007: “Smallville” Fan Wins Toyota Yaris Contest

RedlandsDailyFacts.com has published an article all about David Pruszinski, a Redlands resident who won a Toyota Yaris through the "Smallville Legends: Justice and Doom" contest.

It's an interesting read, because David's own car had been totalled in an accident, his insurance barely covered the debt he owed on it, his job was in jeapordy, and he returned from a July 4th holiday to find out he'd won the car.

"I didn't even realize that I had entered the sweepstakes," he said. "I just went to the Web site to play the game. I just wanted to find out more about the Green Arrow character."

Shortly after his car was destroyed, Pruszinski went on a vacation.

"I decided that I wasn't going to turn on my computer or answer my cell phone," he said.

It was during his vacation and self-imposed communications blackout that representatives from The CW began trying to contact him to let him know that he had won the sweepstakes.

"I got back to work on July 5th and I had all these phone messages and e-mails," he said. "The guy from The CW told me that July 4th was actually the last day for me to respond to win the car, but since it was a holiday, they gave me an extra day."
