***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***
Random.org selected two lucky people to receive $100 to IKEA. The winners are Jennifer (a teacher who is making a difference and preparing to adopt a child from Ethiopia) and Ashley (who entered to make some personal improvements). Congratulations to both!
If there’s one key takeaway: two people won $100 IKEA gift cards this week. Beyond that, this giveaway was part of IKEA’s second annual Life Improvement Project, a campaign that pairs playful, eye-opening advice with meaningful opportunities like the $100,000 Life Improvement Sabbatical Contest. If you have a plan to make a real difference, IKEA will fund a year of your work with $100,000. Last year’s winner was a local from Virginia, which made the prize even more exciting for us.
