Feel-Good Story: Lake Worth resident wins H-D cycle

Wes

I found your blog and thought I’d drop you a note about one of your lucky local residents.  Use it, or don’t, as you see fit.  That Charlotte, NC pop up was amazing, will have to share that.  

Lake Worth resident Paul DiPrima had originally gone to Zippo.com looking to buy lighter fluid – he’s coming away, make that riding away, with a lot more than that.  On Friday at Palm Beach Harley-Davidson®, Paul DiPrima will be handed the keys to his brand new 2010 Harley-Davidson Iron 883 motorcycle.  Paul entered the “Red Hot and Ridin’ Sweepstakes” on Zippo’s music website, ZippoEncore.com. 

He was chosen randomly from thousands that entered the contest, but early on he seemed destined to win.  Paul is a motorcycle rider but doesn’t currently own a Harley-Davidson.  He bought a Zippo lighter at the Zippo-sponsored Cruzan Amphitheater in West Palm Beach during a Toby Keith concert.  He was going to give the lighter to a friend and needed to buy fuel for it so he went to Zippo.com where he got his fuel and entered the contest.

“I never thought twice about the contest after that”, said Paul.  His wife and riding buddies thought he was crazy when he told them he had won.  One of his first stops will be Thursday bike night on Lake Avenue in Lake Worth.  Next trip?  Key West for Bike Week.  “I am looking forward on bringing my new Harley down to Key West”, said Paul.
