When not making dinner pays off
Lisa King was just another working mother when her life changed forever last week.
King, a London resident and mother of two kids, won a free pizza each month for the rest of her life after becoming the one millionth customer to use Pizza Pizza’s online ordering form.
“I was very excited to find out I won the grand prize,” King recalled of the fateful night.
After ordering and enjoying two large three-topping pizzas Sunday night, King received a call informing her of the contest and prize.
“It was a lazy Monday night and I didn’t feel like cooking and pizza is one of those foods that gets delivered right to your door and [you] don’t have to go anywhere,” she said.
The lifetime supply works out to be about 550 pizzas, she said.
While King said she enjoyed the mushroom, bacon and pepperoni pizza she ordered that night, she would try to diversify her order in the future.
“I might get a little adventurous as the years go on,” she said. “I have a lifetime to try out new pizzas.”
