ARCADE, ALDEN, & FORESTVILLE NY RESIDENTS ARE THE LATEST WINNERS OF $10K AS PART OF TOPS MONOPOLY
Williamsville, N.Y. – Recently Tops awarded $10,000 in a Food and Fuel stimulus as part of its Tops Monopoly Rip it and Win It Game to Pamela F. of Arcade, NY, Sara T. of Forestville, NY and Michelle W. of Alden, NY.

When Pamela realized she just one $10,000 in food and fuel from Tops she thought it was a joke! She called her son, daughter and husband downstairs and made everyone double check the ticket. “We had a ton of tickets sitting at home and a friend told me I better open them soon,” Pamela said. “When I called her and said I won, she said I better get a cut!” Pamela and her family were always avid players of Tops Monopoly over the past 12 years so it was exciting for them to win something this huge. “We’ve won tickets, loaves of bread, but this certainly is the best,” she notes.

Sara was so excited we can’t even print her response! “I’ve won some freebies and coupons in the past, but never anything like this,” Sara told Tops representatives about how she felt when she learned she won $10,000 in food and fuel stimulus from Tops Monopoly. Sara made sure to share the good news with her mom who was equally as surprised and happy for Sara’s good fortune. While Sara misses the traditional Tops Monopoly board game, where she could sit and try and find the right tickets after each of her trips to the store, she won on this one, so it’s “good as well” in her book. As to how she’ll spend her winnings she promised her grandfather that he has some steaks with his name on them.

Never was there a better red light experience than the one Michelle had when she opened her winning Tops Monopoly ticket! At first when she opened the ticket she thought she won $10.00 and thought – that’s nice, and she put the tickets back on her seat and went on her way. At the following red light, she looked at it again and saw it was really $10,000. “I cried uncontrollably,” said Michelle. “I was heading to meet a friend for lunch but never made it there for obvious reasons.” Michelle immediately shared the great news with her husband after validating her ticket was in fact the real deal, with the store. An avid participant in Tops Monopoly since its inception, Michelle really enjoys this promotion and while she hasn’t set her sights on what she’s going to buy first with her new found winnings, she is sure to celebrate soon.

Even though the game has officially ended be sure to check the tickets you may not have opened at home so you can redeem them for amazing prizes including free 3- months of Xbox Game Pass Gift Card, $25 Gift Cards to local retailers, $5 & $10 Tops Grocery/Gas gift cards, Free $2.00 Redbox movie rentals, 50 & 100 Tops GasPoints vouchers, Free in store products, and many tickets contain money saving coupons, and more! Thanks to many key product vendor sponsors, these savings are above and beyond the everyday great values and we’re excited to pass these offers along to customers.
