SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 4, 2009--
Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) continues to celebrate the 10th

offer customers amazing cash and prizes. There are six weeks left in the
Wish List Sweepstakes and customers can enter weekly at www.amazon.com/wishlist10th
by creating, adding an item to, or sharing an Amazon Wish List. The
holidays are getting closer and Amazon Wish Lists are a great way for
customers to let friends and family know what they are wishing for this
season.
Since the beginning of the Wish List anniversary celebration, more than
half a million Amazon customers have entered the sweepstakes. The three
lucky sweepstakes winners so far are:
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

should be quite the event, and one I will always remember!”

two and will receive dozens of products, including all new major

List from week three and will receive a trip to London to meet the Jonas
Brothers and tickets to their concert at Wembley Arena. “This is the
