I won a flight to the US

I bought a PC game months ago and decided to enter their competition (easy question plus complete the slogan in 10 words).

This morning, I got a letter to confirm that I have won a flight to either Boston, New York, Washington or Atlanta - and that I can take a friend with me for £249+taxes.

Obviously there are conditions re timing (nothing stupid), and I have to pay the taxes (about £80-120 usually), but I was planning to have a holiday in the US next year anyway!

I'm really excited!!
Mortgage at outset (May 2004): £80,000
Mortgage now (October 2007): £58,000
Original mortgage-free date: May 2024
Expected mortgage-free date: December 2014
Projected interest saving: £21,100
