Merry Proulx Wins our First-Ever "Instant Win" Call-in Contest

This week we offered readers a chance to win a DVD copy of The Planet of the Apes and an adorable plush toy monkey in our "Monkey Business Contest'. Unlike most of our contests where you submit your entry and wait for our draw date to see if you win, we did it a little differently this time around.

To win the prizes, we asked you to be the first person to call scribbles at 7 pm Thursday night and the minute the clock struck 7, scribbles phone line rang. "Scribbles Prize Hotline", I answered, "Who's calling please?"

"It's me Merry" the caller answered, "I waited until the newscast was over and made my call"

And just like that, Merry Proulx became the winner of our latest contest. Congratulations Merry, I knew your pattern of being the first one to enter our contests would pay off someday.

We have a new contest coming next week -Stay tuned!
