There were over a thousand entries in Xbox.com's E3 sweepstakes, but Sarah Vatistas (aka Blazah) was the luckiest of them all. It's interesting that the winner is a female gamer, even more so if that female gamer is a mother of an 11-year old boy.

Sarah has been playing video games since she was a little girl and she admits that the Zelda series is her all-time favorite game. She was wowed by the stunning graphics of the Xbox 360, and little did she know that it would be her golden ticket to E3.

Her son, Blazah, is quite devastated that he isn't old enough to accompany her mother, but all that will change when her mom brings home a suitcase full of E3 swag.

# I'm sure there checking her greencard right? — Guest 2006-05-02 03:15

then again considering what country I get when i call 4-my-xbox, I'm sure they wont care. I don't care about her gamerscore, mine is only 4608, but they should have picked someone who liked games and was more represenative.
