Winner Margaret Edwards and her new Honda

The "Race to Network Solutions: Drive Your Business Online" sweepstakes was completed in December with more than 15,000 entries. Network Solutions made one lucky winner's holiday season by letting her know that she would now be able to drive her business courtesy of a brand new Honda!

Margaret Edwards was thrilled to learn she was receiving a new car from Network Solutions, as she is quite the traveler. Ms. Edwards has been a freelance court reporter for 15 years in a five-county court circuit. Therefore, Ms. Edwards is constantly driving to different courthouses and clocks the miles very rapidly.

"Winning this car at a time when gas prices have gone up has just about been an answer to my prayer," said Ms. Edwards. "I am thrilled with the car. I fell in love with it at first sight, before I even opened the door and got in it."

We hope that Ms. Edwards has a wonderful holiday and continues to drive her freelance business in her new Honda.
