We received an award! Yippee, however it was sent via a Winzip file. We dont have Winzip can it be sent in another format?

Don't be ridiculous. 

Go to Google type, 

WinZip or 7zip, or unzip a zip file.

Also most computer os have the ability to unzip a file built in.

. As simple as right click the file and choose uncompress or unzip.
