Heather Coburn becomes sweepstakes’ 3rd million-dollar prize winner
BLUEFIELD, WV – One West Virginian’s life was changed forever today when she received a surprise visit at work from Gov. Jim Justice.

Heather Coburn, who works at Bill Cole Automall in Bluefield, joined her coworkers for a staff meeting this afternoon. What she didn’t know was that the Governor and Babydog would make a surprise appearance and announce her name has been drawn as the lucky winner of the latest million-dollar prize in the “Do it for Babydog: Save a life, Change your life” Vaccination Sweepstakes.
The Governor presented Coburn with a ceremonial check for $1 million.
The million-dollar giveaway was just one of 50 “Do it for Babydog” Vaccination Sweepstakes prizes announced by Gov. Justice today. 
Earlier in the day, Gov. Justice also surprised a man from Fairmont and surprised another man from Clendenin with brand-new custom-outfitted trucks.

Additional West Virginians were announced as “Do it for Babydog” winners this morning for prizes including two full four-year scholarships to any public institution in the state, five lifetime hunting licenses, five lifetime fishing licenses, five custom hunting rifles, five custom hunting shotguns, and 25 weekend getaways to West Virginia State Parks.
