hi im tryin ta figure out how do i sign up for the 100,000 cash grab

Jill Nicolini- Log on to wpix.com ..look to the right of the page it says 100k Cash Grab! You can sign up there!

Shoe lifts also referred to as shoe inserts. Shoe lifts originated from "elevator shoes". The earliest designers of elevator shoes found it almost impossible to manufacture as complete a range of styles as were available in normal footwear. Customers required for anything less obtrusive like an insert to put in normal shoes to make them look taller.

Jill Nicolini-I'm sorry the contest is all random i have no pull! did you log on to wpix.com and sign up yet ?

I have watched the news at ten and after the cash grab it say's to go to wpix.com to guess an amt.as to what was carried out.WHERE DO I FIND THE PLACE TO GUESS? I HAVE BEEN ON THIS SITE FOR OVER AN HR.PLEASE LET ME KNOW.IT'S NOT FAIR TO ANNOUNCE THAT YOU CAN TAKE A GUESS,AND THAN THERE IS NO PLACE TO DO SO.


Thank You
Doreen Rizzo

Jill Nicolini- Jill Nicolini- Please log on to wpix.com and click on the 100k cash grab banner! It's on the right hand side of the page! You can sign up there! Thank you! :)

Posted by Mrs. Baker at May 15, 2010 10:52 PM

WPIX is NOT fair. I have been calling the Cash Grab line ever since the contest started and cannot get through. I start dialing right before you all say "call now" and the call is going through as soon as you all finish talking. NEW JERSEY never gets through and I think you all have New Jersey calls blocked. We watch WPIX 11 just as much as the 5 trillion people in New York. Why can't New Jersey ever gets it fair share? Open up the lines to New Jersey nightly just like you do New York. I saw the list of winners last week and they were all over New York..Didn't notice New Jersey on the list. Be fair ok?

Jill Nicolini- I recommend that everyone signs up online! It;s all random but anyone can enter form any state! Of course it's not going to be easy to be the 11th caller when thousands of people are calling! Please log on to wpix.com and click on the 100k cash grab banner! you can sign up there! Thank you! :)

Greetings I just finished going through your site and I am quite impressed. I actually do have a couple questions for you personally though. Are you planning on performing a follow-up posting on this? Will you be going to keep posting as well?

Jill Nicolini- Yes I am here updating :)

Posted by MONA BOLDS at May 17, 2010 4:55 PM

HI JILL MY NAME IS MONA PLEASE GIVE ME A CHANCE TO GET SOME CASH SO I CAN HELP ME AND MY SON WITH OUR BILLS, MY INSURANCE, RENT,CREDIT CARDS, BILLS ARE ALL BEHIND,MY CABLE WILL BE OFF SOON.THANK YOU VERY MUCH MONA BOLDS.

Jill Nicolini- Hi Mona please log on to wpix.com and look to the right click on teh ad thats says 100k cash grab giveaway! I wish you and your family the best of luck :) Have faith Mona!

Gd Morning Jill! Hi my name is Danielle Robbins. (We)I watch pix evry morning. I would be honored to get the chance to play grab for cash! Im a single mom of 3,(15-8-7)just this Jan 30, my fiance was in a terrible car accident, and on Feb 8 his fight ended at the age of 32. I went in a different hospital Jan 31 to have an emergency surgery, and was released on the 8th, the day he pasted away. I lost my job cause they said they could not extend my leave any longer. My transmission on my car just went,the other day but, I just still try to smile for my babies. So I desperatly would love the opportunity to play grab for cash. Thanx you so much an advance.

I watched the Grab for Cash with John. I thought putting those 'Fluffers" in was pretty tacky. It would have been a nicer touch having the winners family memeber "fluff". Come on , has everyone sold out to T&A?

Posted by MARY BLOYED at May 26, 2010 2:11 PM

Dear Pix, i would like a chance to win because I have parkinsons disease. it ruins you whole body all you motor skills go away.i cannot even comb my own hair anymore, the reason i tell you this is my daughter takes care of me besides working full time. i would like to give her a chance to win some cash to have a real vacation.

Posted by JOYCE AUBERT at May 26, 2010 3:30 PM

I WOULD LIKE TO GRAB THE CASH SO I COULD BUY SOMETHING EXTRA FOR MY TWO SONS ONE OF THEM HAS AUTISUM THANKYOU WISH ME LUCK JOYCE AUBERT

Posted by imani at May 26, 2010 3:45 PM

hello pix 11 staff
