) has made Carol Linville of Martinsville, Ind. a millionaire in her own right.

The restaurant chain today confirmed that Linville's recent purchase of four plain hamburgers and two large drinks at a BURGER KING[R] restaurant in Bloomington, Ind. has netted her the Grand Prize of $1 million in the BURGER KING[R] "Which Spidey Suits You" game.

In "Which Spidey Suits You?," just as in the movie, guests were challenged to choose what's behind either the familiar red and blue Spider-Man[TM] or the black-suited Spider-Man[TM]. Every game piece was a possible winner, giving restaurant guests a 1:2 chance of winning each time they played.

"I'm a loyal BURGER KING[R] customer and visit my local restaurant at least once a week for lunch," said Linville. "When I chose the black-suited side of the game piece, I was just hoping for a free BK[TM] Stacker or some Chicken Fries Chicken fries are chicken nuggets shaped like french fries.

Some different brands of chicken fries include:
  • KFC, Canada – Introduced in 1997, pulled later that year. They were re-introduced in August 2006 and were available until 27 September 2006.
. I never imagined I'd win the million dollar prize. In fact it still hasn't quite sunk in yet."

In true HAVE IT YOUR WAY[R] fashion, Linville has chosen to take her prize in cash installments and will receive $50,000 annually for the next 20 years.

"The Which Spidey Suits You promotion was strongly supported by our restaurant guests, hundreds of thousands of whom won prizes from BK[R] menu items to electronics, gift cards and free travel certificates," said Brian Gies, vice president, Marketing Impact at Burger King Corporation. "We're thrilled that the momentum of the promotion culminated in the confirmation of a Grand Prize winner. Congratulations to Carol and to all the prize winners who chose wisely."

Additional prizes included a 2007 Maserati Quattroporte The Maserati Quattroporte is a luxury four-door sedan made by Maserati of Italy. The name translated from Italian literally means "four doors". There have been five generations of the car, each separated by a period of roughly five years.  Sport GT; a Sony[R] Full HD Experience; free BK[R] food items such as a BK[TM] Double Stacker or 6 piece BK[TM] Chicken Fries and more.
