The National Magazine Exchange (NME), a division of ThinkDirect Marketing Group located in Clearwater, Fla., announced the winner of the 2009 “Strike It Rich” VI Early Bird Sweepstakes. The lucky winner is Cindy Helbling of Pittsburgh, PA.

Cindy entered the Strike It Rich sweepstakes in February of 2008 after receiving entry information in the mail and then calling into the National Magazine Exchange Sweepstakes Center’s toll-free number. “Winning has made such a difference in my life. I’m so glad I entered,” said Cindy Helbling.

National Magazine Exchange is the exclusive sponsor of the $2.1 million “Strike It Rich” sweepstakes and also offers a $100,000.00 Early Bird prize as an additional winning opportunity. Sweepstakes entrants are offered the opportunity to purchase a highly-discounted magazine package; no purchase is ever required to enter or win and a purchase will not increase chances of winning.

Now in its 14th year, The National Magazine Exchange Strike It Rich sweepstakes has awarded over $10,000,000 in prize money to date. Unlike many other sweepstakes, Strike It Rich guarantees that the monetary prizes will be awarded to lucky winners chosen in a random drawing.
