The Million Dollar Surprise: How One Football Fan Won Big with TurboTax

Meet Solangel, a Las Vegas resident and winner of The TurboTax Super Bowl File million dollar sweepstakes! 

Before a medical condition forced her to stop working last year, she worked part-time at Allegiant Stadium, host of Super Bowl LVIII. Medical expenses have been a considerable burden for Solangel, leading to her selling her car to cover some of the costs.

Despite her challenges, Solangel remained positive and continued to pursue her passions, including her love for football. She dreamed of attending the Super Bowl but knew it was impossible due to her health issues. During Super Bowl LVIII, she saw the TurboTax ad encouraging viewers to start their taxes and enter our TurboTax Super Bowl File for a chance to win $1 million.

Solangel entered the sweepstakes but did not expect to win. “When [a TurboTax representative] called me to say I won the million dollar prize, I thought they were joking!”

What is she doing with the prize money? Solangel shared with us that she plans to pay off her home and buy a car, replacing the vehicle she had sold to pay for medical expenses.

Solangel’s story is a heartwarming reminder of perseverance and hope in the face of adversity. With the new prize money, Solangel is moving forward with a renewed sense of hope, security, and joy.
