Latest Prize Awarded in CoolCleveland's Contest
Winner chooses cash, of course...

When we emailed winner Patty Quiñónez to tell her she won her choice of either $250 cash or a new iPhone (value $199), she wrote back with this exclamation: "YEPEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! YEPEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WON! I WON!!! I WON!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!! I will take the CA$H!! :-)"

Since Patty is a financial planner, we expected her to do the math and ask for the $250, but we couldn't get her to tell us what she plans to do with her winnings. We're guessing mutual funds and maybe some Treasury Inflation Protected Securities. 'Cause everyone knows inflation is coming...

Watch the video of Patty's award, and then get busy because we are upping our next award to $300 smackeroos.
