Carolynn D. Archer '85 came to a party at the Hasty Pudding last Friday night with a packed suitcase. She woke up in Florida.
Archer won the Pudding's Midnight Madness lottery, which treated her and friend Robert S. Keane '85 to a limousine ride to Logan Airport, two round-trip plane tickets to Miami, accommodations for three days and nights in the Fontainebleau Hotel, and a food allowance.
The package--worth approximately $1200--was paid for in part by the party $58 admission charge.
"I had no idea that I had won until I woke up on the plane to Miami, because it happened so fast," said Archer, upon the couple's return to Cambridge yesterday morning Keane added. "The trip was really fun I spent most of the time lying on the beach and windsurfing."
Archer said she had not originally planned to enter the contest, but did so at the encouragement of a friend.
This is the first year the Hasty Pudding Club sponsored such a contest, although Lowell House's Bermuda Bash has sent students to sandy beaches in the past. The Pudding hopes to sponsor a similar event next year, the club's publicity director, Javan T Bunch '85 said yesterday.
