The Powell family of Davis, CA, will have their December electric bill paid as the national winner of Patch.com's "Deck the House" holiday lighting contest.

The grand prize also includes $100,000 to Davis schools.

“We all won,” Kristy Powell told Patch. “There are a lot of needs at the schools. This is not going to fix it all, but it will help. This is a blessing.”
