IRVINGTON, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 12, 1999--

iWon.com (www.iwon.com), a CBS-backed destination Internet portal combining world-class search, content and functionality with the Internet's largest guaranteed cash giveaway, today announced that Dan Barclay of Babylon, New York, is the recipient of its second $1 million Monthly prize giveaway. Mr. Barclay was announced as the November $1 million winner during CBS's Touched by an Angel last evening.

"Christmas has come early for Dan," said iWon.com Founder and Co-CEO Bill Daugherty. "I'm sure this holiday will be unforgettable for the entire Barclay family."

Mr. Barclay, a Citibank executive from Babylon, NY; dedicated husband; and father of six -- ranging in age from 16-years to 14-months -- said that although his children have already started to rewrite their Christmas lists, he plans to save most of the money to finance their education. In the meantime, the Long Island native will buy gifts for his family and organize a once in a lifetime summer vacation.

"Winning all this money really hasn't sunk in yet," Barclay said. "But I'm looking forward to when it does. With six kids, my wife and I have a lot of expenses. This is a most wonderful thing in all of our lives."

"We are very pleased for Mr. Barclay," said Founder and Co-CEO Jonas Steinman. "It's fantastic that people like Dan are being handsomely rewarded for doing what they're already doing online, such as checking their email, shopping for the holidays, and searching the Internet. Dan is one of many iWon.com millionaires we will be announcing in the coming months."

All $10,000 Daily winners are posted on the site each day, while the $1 million Monthly winners and the $10 million Tax Day winner are announced in prime time on the CBS Television Network.

Participation is free, and entries accumulated by users are displayed and updated on a real-time basis through an innovative and patent-pending entry tracking system that appears at the top of each page.

The next iWon.com $1 million Monthly prize announcement will take place on January 16, 2000 during CBS's Touched by an Angel.
