Grand Rapids Couple Get the Surprise of a Lifetime, Winning $100,000 in The Great Home Giveaway
Justin and Ashley Kribs Celebrate with Commissions Inc. and the Lucas Howard Group
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Feb. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Though a blizzard was descending on Grand Rapids last week, local residents Justin and Ashley Kribs braved the elements to make it to their realtor's office. There, they were surprised with the $100,000 grand prize from The Great Home Giveaway.
The Great Home Giveaway is sponsored by Commissions Inc., Atlanta, in partnership with First Option Mortgage and more than 200 real estate agents nationwide, including the Kribses' realtor, Lucas Howard of the Lucas Howard Group in Grand Rapids. Altogether, seventeen homebuyers were awarded prizes, including sixteen $10,000 winners. With a growing family and a desire for additional space, Justin, a police officer and Ashley, an accountant at an accounting firm, sold their home but were unable to find another that suited them. After moving in with family, they decided to build a new house. They entered The Great Home Giveaway at the urging of Mr. Howard, never dreaming they would win, let alone take home the grand prize.
"We are so grateful to everyone involved with The Great Home Giveaway," said Ashley Kribs. "When our house is completed in April, we will be able to afford the new appliances, furniture and landscaping we want."
"Justin and Ashley are a great couple and they have a wonderful family that will really benefit from this grand prize," said Mr. Howard.
Commissions Inc. CEO Duane LeGate was on hand to deliver the check to the Kribses.
"We've been fortunate to find deserving recipients with each drawing," LeGate said. "This sweepstakes has been about giving back to hardworking people hoping to achieve their goals. There is no finer example than the Kribs family."
