\"\"\u201cWhen I got the email saying that I had won, I assumed it was just a scam,\u201d he said. \u201cBut then I received a phone call from the Exchange confirming it and I was just elated because I have never, and I mean never, won anything so big.\u201d<\/p>\n

The motorcycle was customized by the Warrior Built Foundation, whose mission is to honor the service and sacrifice of combat Veterans and wounded service members who served their country by providing vocational and recreational opportunities.<\/p>\n

A few of the updates to the Harley-Davidson FXBB Street Bob motorcycle include a customized set of wheels, handle bars, foot pegs, lights and a personalized hand engraving of the winner\u2019s military service branch.<\/p>\n

Ellen Henderson, general manager of the Fort Benjamin Harrison Exchange, said it is an honor to be able to award the motorcycle to such a deserving individual.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Exchange understands and appreciates the daily sacrifices of Soldiers, Airmen and military families,\u201d Henderson said. \u201cThis is just another way that we are able to thank them for their service.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Evans, he hopes his good run of luck continues.<\/p>\n

\u201cLately I\u2019ve been entering every legitimate sweepstakes and playing the lottery more often thinking that now my luck has definitely changed for the better,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
