The Amazon Wish List 10^th Anniversary Celebration Continues

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) continues to celebrate the 10^th anniversary of its Wish List feature with November sweepstakes that offer customers amazing cash and prizes.

D. James Czech II of Anchorage, Alaska, won “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” Premier Wish List from week one and will be traveling to Los Angeles to attend the “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” premiere. “I have never won anything so this is pretty cool,” he said. “I can’t wait to attend the premiere, and have a chance to meet the “Twilight” cast.
