Amador County – Rebecca Albin of Jackson was so confident she would win a new car, she rode with her mom to the contest. Out of 273 contestants, Albin was chosen as the recipient of a brand new $20,000 2009 Toyota Camry LE from Prospect Motors in Jackson . The give-away was a way for merchants to thank community members who participated in a word puzzle through the Amador Ledger-Dispatch that resulted in coupons for local businesses. The puzzles were a way to stimulate local business. The winner was chosen through a reverse draw, where names are removed one at a time until there is only one person left. Albin was reportedly ecstatic and jumped for joy when she heard her name called as the winner. There was a long list of contest sponsors, including Prospect Motors, the Ledger-Dispatch, Raleys, Jackson Tire, Claypools Gift and Home, Sutter Creek Palace, Sutter Ridge Winery, Glass Doctor and Dunlop Family Furniture.
