UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA SENIOR WINS $1.5 MILLION GRAND PRIZE PACKAGE IN HGTV URBAN OASIS GIVEAWAY 2010
Oviedo, Fla. – Saturday, November 20, 2010 – University of Central Florida (UCF) senior Adam Venckauskas, 21, received an early graduation gift when he learned that he won the 2010 HGTV Urban Oasis, a luxury residence in the heart of New York City's financial district. The fully-furnished residence, with sweeping vistas of the city's skyline, was custom-designed by HGTV's Vern Yip and is part of a grand prize package that includes a new Acura ZDX. Venckausas' stunned reaction to winning the prize package, valued at approximately $1.5 million, was broadcast around the country during the HGTV Urban Oasis Giveaway 2010 special on Saturday, November 20, 2010 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
"No way, no way," said Venckauskas upon hearing the news. "I'm speechless!"
A native of Boca Raton, Florida, Venckauskas, a civil engineering major, was studying for an exam when Yip knocked on the door of his student apartment to surprise him with the news. Venckauskas, whose name was randomly drawn from more than 15.5 million entries, entered the first HGTV Urban Oasis Giveaway once at the urging of his mother, Genevieve, who said she entered the sweepstakes each day of the entry period and encouraged her two sons, both UCF students, to enter as well. "I think I'm off the hook for Adam's graduation present," she said with a laugh.
