Jessica Silverman was just five years old when she won her first jellybean-guessing contest. Her prize then was a stuffed toy dragon. Seventeen years later, she has done it again - Only this time, she is walking away with $25,000USD!

Jessica says she was just walking around at a CO-OP and Condo Expo at the Hilton Hotel in New York, when an attendant from the DeWitt Stern Insurance Company encouraged her to enter a 'guess the number of jelly beans contest', at the booth. On an impulse, she decided to do it.

Her guess of 7,594 was not just close, but the exact number of beans that were in the jar. Jessica, who is planning to use the money for a down payment on a home, says she just got lucky both times. In fact, she is so convinced, that she has vowed to never enter another contest again, because as she puts it - 'I want to end my guessing career on a good note'.

Happy Easter to all of you!
