TORONTO, March 20, 2012 /CNW/ - On Monday March 19th, Michael Beckette, President & CEO from Mortgage Alliance presented Patricia Lopes from Toronto with a cheque for $100,000. She and her husband, Jason, had won the company's 2011 Minimize Your Mortgage Sweepstake. Since the promotion began in 2007, Mortgage Alliance has awarded $500,000 in prizes…the highest promotional give-away in Canadian mortgage broker history.
Patricia's reward couldn't have a come at better time. The family had been recently challenged after Jason was laid-off from his construction company earlier this year.
"We're still in shock but we're so grateful to Mortgage Alliance for helping us with our first home and now with our new winnings!"
The young couple is planning to go straight to the bank, pay off their car loans, apply some money toward their mortgage and have already booked a trip to Negril Jamaica.
It was Patricia's best friend who referred her to Mortgage Alliance.
