Warr guessed 1984 Koozies in Liberty’s bright green Kasasa van at 10:18 AM, while another contestant guessed 1902 in the afternoon. The correct amount was 1943. Since both guesses were equally close to the correct number, Warr’s guess made her the winner of a $500 gift card to a hot rod accessory and parts company. As an event sponsor Liberty Bank was featuring a new interest bearing free checking account.

Lillian and her husband are the owners of a gourmet popcorn business, Heavenly Popcorn Palace, and were vending at the Car Show. She said her husband liked cars and would put the prize to good use. The presentation was made at Liberty Bank’s Alton branch on Homer Adams Parkway near Washington Ave. on Thursday morning. Bank employees attended the presentation and presented Lillian with the gift card and a gift basket
