OSAGE CITY—The first winner in the Christmas on Us promotion
brought his winning ticket to The Osage County Herald-Chronicle
office last week to pick up $50 in scrip money to be spent at any
of the participating businesses.
Al Bogren, Burlingame, claimed one of the four numbers hidden in
last week’s advertisements. Nine $50 instant prizes remain
up for grabs, in this, the second week of The Herald-Chronicle’s
Christmas on Us promotion, as the countdown begins for the grand
prize drawing for two $1,000 prizes, and two $250 prizes to be held
on Saturday, Dec. 20.
Bogren’s ticket was pulled from those collected at Four Corners
Steakhouse and Lounge and the number was hidden in the Osage Chevrolet
Buick advertisement. Bogren said he would likely use the money to
buy groceries from Jerry’s Thriftway, one of the participating
sponsors.
Unclaimed numbers included one from Jerry’s Thriftway, hidden
in the RJ’s Auction ad. Another, from El Mezcal, was hidden
in the Sloop Sales and Hook’s Repair ad. A fourth ticket number,
from Overbrook BP and Wheat State Pizza, was hidden in the From
the Heart ad.
This week, shoppers will find hidden ticket numbers in advertisements
found on pages 2B, 3B and 4B. Simply check ticket numbers received
from participating sponsors against the numbers hidden in the ads,
and bring winning tickets to The Herald-Chronicle by 5 p.m. Monday
to claim $50 instantly in scrip money.
Through the Christmas on Us giveaway, Osage County merchants are
making sure that shopping at home pays. Not only do shoppers save
money, gas and frustration by shopping at home, they have a chance
to win part of the $3,000 being given away in the contest.
For every $10 spent at participating merchants, shoppers get a ticket.
Those who don’t buy, or who are just looking, can get a free
ticket each week by stopping by The Herald-Chronicle’s
office, the Lyndon Carnegie Library, Overbrook Library or the Carbondale
Library. No purchase is necessary to win.
The grand prize drawing will be 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 20, in downtown
Osage City. Doughnuts, hot chocolate and coffee will be offered
by The Herald-Chronicle staff, in appreciation of merchants and
local shoppers who have made the contest possible.
You must be present to win, and the scrip money is only good at
participating merchants. It is simple to win but tough to decide
where to spend your money with the 29 merchants participating in
this exciting contest. |
