Omaha, NE -  Rachael Travalick  won't make another house payment for a year!  Rachael won the Free and Clear For a Year contest Saturday, sponsored by KMTV Action 3 News and Great Western Bank.

"Fantastic," she said with a big smile. "It's going to help us in a lot of ways.  It's going to be great."

Rachael and fourteen others qualified for the drawing by entering the contest on the KMTV Action 3 News Facebook page.  All the qualifiers won $100 and a chance to win free mortgage or rent for a year.

Great Western Bank Omaha President Gary Grote drew the winning name and presented Rachael with a giant check. "It's really fun to make a difference," said Grote.  "Christmas is going to be very good. Every little bit helps and this is a whole lot more than a little bit. I'm happy to see good things happen to good people."
