KAMLOOPS - The winner of the InfoNews grand prize is all smiles after claiming her trip last week.

“This is an awesome prize,” Debbie Sampson, who is a social development worker with the Adams Lake Indian Band, says about winning the InfoNews houseboat vacation grand prize.

Though Sampson is excited her kids might be even more so. She says her schedule might not allow her to take the trip this year, which means her kids could end up enjoying the houseboat holiday instead.

Whether she gets to enjoy the prize or her kids do, Sampson looks forward to enjoying the summer in the Shuswap.
