According to Scott Nichols, President of GTN, The Araya Family were incredulous when they were notified of their good fortune.  “When we first received the letter we didn’t believe it; but upon calling and confirming it, we were excited to receive the prize.”

Nichols said Mrs. Araya told him that “the older kids will get new clothes; the younger kids will get new toys and we’ll donate some of it.”
