From the Publisher
At my first meeting with Carol Shaffer, I could not believe what I was hearing. I was truly amazed at her success rate in winning contests and sweepstakes. Carol is the mother of three grown children, and the proud grandmother of eight grandkids. She lives in suburban St. Louis, and works at the local Wal-Mart in the evenings. She is just a regular work-a-day type of person, just like the rest of us except that Carol knows how to win!
In addition to many fabulous prizes in cash and merchandise, Carol's contesting hobby has brought her many glamorous life experiences that she never would have enjoyed were it not for her hobby. She has dined with celebrities, appeared on national television, and literally traveled the world. She has been featured in The National Enquirer, The Examiner, and Woman's World Magazine, in addition to many feature articles in local and regional newspapers. She appeared on the "To Tell the Truth" show. She won a brand new Chrysler LHS automobile, and she cruised the Caribbean on a luxury cruise ship. She has won free trips to San Francisco, San Antonio, Washington D. C., Branson, Missouri, Denver, and elsewhere. She and her family members have won dozens and dozens of contests and sweepstakes with prizes large and small, and they continue to win consistently.
Carol Shaffer, the Contest Queen, is one grandmother whose enthusiasm and zest for life should serve as an example for us all. And her creative and imaginative contesting strategies and techniques are absolutely remarkable.
