Bonnie Majors of Cape Girardeau won the bonus prize in the Southeast Missourian's YELL for Newspapers campaign.
People who purchased a YELL edition had a chance to win the portable, radio cassette, programmable CD player by answering four questions located in four different advertisements in the publication.
Majors, who said her family ended up with four chances to win instant prizes inserted in the YELL newspaper and still came up empty handed, decided to enter this contest.
On her postcard she correctly identified the four advertisements, and added a personal note about each.
"Congratulations to Donna Vanmatre who graduated from the GED program offered through Tri Con Industries. She can smile with pride!" Majors wrote in answer to the question, "Why is Donna Vanmetre smiling?"
Her entry was selected from correct entries Friday morning.
Majors said: "I bought my issue from Schultz students when I took my son to school," Majors said. "They were selling on the street corner."
She added that's she's a devoted reader of the Missourian.
"I look forward to my paper every day," she said. "I can't live without it. I'm so glad you are going to add the Saturday paper."
