Sweepstakes winners receive their prizes

Winners of this fall’s sweepstakes have been announced. The contest was held to help familiarize students and educators with SDMyLife Network, a new feature of South Dakota MyLife that connects students with real South Dakota businesses and companies.

During the month of October, any student who saved three South Dakota companies to their SDMyLife profile was automatically eligible to win an iPad or iPod Touch. During the same time period, educators who worked with their students in SDMyLife Network, went to Twitter, described what they did with students in regard to SDMyLife Network and tagged SDMyLife (@SD_MyLife) were automatically entered to win an iPad or an iPod Touch.

Between students and educators, there were nearly 2,100 entries! The winners of the SDMyLife: My Future, My Network Sweepstakes include:

Educators
iPad: Laura Meile, Washington High School
iPod Touch: Mary Schneider, Armour High School

Students
iPad: Samantha, 10th grader at Huron High School
iPod Touch: Hunter, 9th grader at Madison High School
iPod Touch: Mikena, 12th grader at Sioux Falls Christian High School
