GAYLORD, MI -- One special shopper in the Gaylord Walmart received an awesome gift right as she collected the new Nintendo Wii she had been waiting in line for.

Amanda Robinson, the mother of three young girls, was the lucky one in line and found herself with a $725 gift card she can use for holiday shopping at any store.

It was all a part of a Tim Hortons stimulus package to shoppers across Michigan.  Tim Hortons gave away $31,000.

"Oh my gosh, a lot, a lot, I'm like so excited, really excited, they're going to have a great Christmas!" said Amanda Robinson, the winner of the gift card.

"Oh my God, it was so nice to hear that she had three kids and she really needed it, so it's great, I'm gload it went to somebody that could use it," said Marika Connolly, the Gaylord Tim Hortons owner.

Two other lucky winners walked away with $100 gift cards to use at Tim Hortons.

Robinson said this is the perfect year to be in the right place, at the right time.
