Former Marine Wins Grand Prize Package in HGTV Dream Home 2013 Giveaway
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Former Marine Carole Simpson was feeding her two dogs at her home in rural Columbia, Tenn., when she heard the knock at her front door. Moments later, Simpson learned she is the winner of the HGTV Dream Home Giveaway 2013, a grand prize package worth more than $2 million, and including a fully furnished home on Kiawah Island, S.C., a new GMC® Acadia® Denali® and $500,000.

“This is amazing,” Simpson said, when she answered her door to find her daughter, Nicole, and HGTV‘s Monica Pedersen with the good news. “I almost can’t believe it. This is going to be fun.”
Pulling off the surprise required some creativity on the part of Pedersen and the HGTV production crew that recorded the happy moment. They enlisted the help of Simpson’s daughter to help keep a lid on the secret until they could sneak up the long open driveway.
“This was our first-ever double ambush,” Pedersen said. “We broke the news to Nicole first, so she could help us keep it a surprise until the right moment.”
Simpson, an avid baker, says she’s especially excited about the elaborate kitchen in her new dream home, and thrilled about the gas fireplace so she will no longer have to haul wood. She says she’ll use some of the cash prize to visit her son and his family in Australia.
Simpson recently retired from a 25-year career as an automotive assembly worker. She says she’s entered the HGTV Dream Home Giveaway the last four years. Her name was chosen randomly from more than 77 million entries.
“It never occurred to me that I could win,” she said. “Those who didn’t win, keep trying. If it happened for me, it could happen for anyone.”
Viewers can witness her reaction during the special HGTV Dream Home 2013 Giveaway Special that airs on March 15 at 7 pm ET on HGTV.

Downy ® and ZzzQuil ® Team Up to Help Tuck in New York City
During National Sleep Awareness Week, Downy and ZzzQuil will show the ‘city that never sleeps’ how to create a sleep-conducive environment
CINCINNATI–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Procter & Gamble’s (NYS: PG) Downy and ZzzQuil understand the importance of achieving a good night’s sleep and during National Sleep Awareness Week this year, the brands have joined forces to help consumers create an environment that is conducive for falling asleep. According to a recent poll by the National Sleep Foundation (NSF)1, one in four US adults say they suffer from occasional sleeplessness with difficulty falling asleep at least a few times a week. Fortunately, there are small steps people can take to help get better sleep.
“Downy Infusions Lavender Serenity® fabric softener and Downy Unstopables® Lush in-wash scent booster are products that help create the perfect sleep atmosphere,” said Carolina Rogoll, Downy’s Brand Manager. “There are many things within your sleep habits that you cannot control, but the environment should not be one of them.”
National Sleep Awareness Week Event in New York City with Downy and ZzzQuil
On Thursday, March 7th Downy and ZzzQuil will give NYC – the ‘city that never sleeps’ – a reason to hop into bed. The Downy and ZzzQuil Sleep Fest will be hosted at Amtrak’s Penn Station, which services approximately 500,000 passengers each day. This event will feature beds with Downy washed sheets to showcase the benefits of relaxing and long-lasting scents. Experts, including Dr. Joseph Ojile, National Sleep Foundation Board Director, will be on-site along with HGTV‘s interior designer and host Taniya Nayak to discuss ways to ensure both you and your bedroom are set up for a cozy night of sleep.
Washing sheets with Downy Infusions Lavender Serenity liquid fabric softener makes them silky soft and soothing with a relaxing scent to create a great environment for sleep—and for a longer-lasting scent, Downy Unstopables Lush in-wash scent booster can be used to provide freshness that lasts up to twelve weeks in storage.
