Zippo Harley Bike Giveaway Winner


Lake Worth, FL, resident Paul DiPrima had originally gone to Zippo.com looking to buy lighter fluid. He’s coming away - make that riding away - with a lot more than that. On Friday at Palm Beach Harley-Davidson®, Paul DiPrima was handed the keys to his brand new 2010 Harley-Davidson Iron 883 motorcycle, top prize in the “Red Hot and Ridin’ Sweepstakes” on Zippo’s music website, ZippoEncore.com.

His name was chosen at random from thousands that entered the contest. DiPrima is a motorcycle rider but doesn’t currently own a Harley-Davidson. He bought a Zippo lighter at the Zippo-sponsored Cruzan Amphitheater in West Palm Beach during a Toby Keith concert. He was going to give the lighter to a friend and needed to buy fuel for it so he went to Zippo.com, where he ordered his fuel and entered the contest.

“I never thought twice about the contest after that,” admitted DiPrima. His wife and riding buddies thought he was crazy when he told them he had won. One of his first stops will be Thursday bike night on Lake Avenue in Lake Worth. Next trip? Key West for Bike Week. “I am looking forward on bringing my new Harley down to Key West,” said DiPrima.

Zippo Manufacturing Company is the maker of the iconic Zippo windproof lighter sold in over 150 countries worldwide. Based in Bradford, PA, Zippo has produced nearly 475 million lighters since 1932. Harley-Davidson has been a top-selling Zippo license for nearly two decades.

Corbett said the nearly 2-year long grand jury investigation, known as “Operation Diamond Drop,” used court-ordered wiretaps, undercover surveillance and controlled drug purchases to identify large-scale cocaine and marijuana traffickers in the region. “Drug trafficking at this level is ‘big business’, including upper-level suppliers, mid-level distributers and street-level sales people,” Corbett said. “Our investigations focus on following the drugs and money to their source, allowing us to attack an entire drug distribution network when we make our arrests.” Corbett said the chief figure charged today is Miguel Angel Burgos, 31, 9891 Holly...
