Win a $1500 West Jet Gift Certificate

Ancestry.ca, the leading history resource in Canada, is giving away a $1500 West Jet gift certificate and $100 Chapters gift cards.  Wow!

Now, I’m sure you’re wondering more about these awesome prizes and how you can get involved in this contest.

• The contest runs February 16th – April 10th.
• You can obtain 1 additional Prize Draw Entry per day by playing the game at contest.ancestry.ca.
• You can obtain up to a maximum of 100 additional Prize Draw Entries by inviting your friends through the ‘Invite Friends’ link or by adding a widget to your Facebook profile.

Here’s a look at the game Word Stump that you can play to earn additional entries.  It’s a word scramble game that is fun, challenging, and a bit addictive.     I finally had to cut myself off from it.  You simply highlight letters to make words.  When you make words, then letters will disappear and make the tower of letters shorter.  Then more letters will appear.  It’s kind of like tetris, except with letters and words.

Have fun everyone and good luck!
