Ellen D. Wins!

Ellen D. and two of her grandchildren celebrating her victory at the top of the Space Needle

Ellen D. won the 26th Annual Final Four Extravaganza by correctly picking 3 of the 4 teams in this year's Final Four. She becomes another 2-time winner of the 'Ganza and it only took her 24 years in between victories.

Sunday was quite a day for Ellen D., a 30 year season ticket holder for the University of Washington Huskies women's basketball team. The day started with her beloved Huskies securing their first ever trip to the Women's Final Four and it ended with her winning over $2000 in the 'Ganza.

Her grandchildren were originally quite excited in anticipation of the gifts they were expecting. Grandma won a lot of money and they were certain to get their share. Unfortunately for them, Ellen D. had other plans. "I'm going to take this money and use it to see the Huskies in the Final Four in Indianapolis!" she exclaimed.

Upon hearing this her youngest grandchild Jack S., former 'Ganza Champion, had this reaction:






"Are you freaking kidding me!" he groused.
