Among them was <strong>Jesse Martinez<\/strong> who purchased a mattress set worth $4,000 for his parents back in July. The 23-year-old got $8,000 back and described McIngvale as \u201c<em>super genuine<\/em>\u201d.

After Astros\u2019 victory, she got $10,000 back and she has nothing but praises for McIngvale whom he called a \u201c<em>living saint<\/em>\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>One huge winner among the thousands of customers who took part in Gallery Furniture\u2019s promotion was <strong>Edgar Ruben Reyes<\/strong> who recently received two checks, each for $13,396.  This isn\u2019t the first time that Reyes was rewarded by joining a Gallery furniture promotion.<\/p>\n<p>During the 2011 Super Bowl, the 48-year-old also won $9,000 worth of furniture from the retail chain after correctly guessing the Packers as the 2011 league champion. Reyes said McIngvale is an inspiration to him and many others.<\/p>\n<p>Several customers weren\u2019t even aware of the promotion, including <strong>Darlene Taylor<\/strong> and <strong>Michael Schaefer<\/strong>.
