TOPS AWARDS FIRST PRIZE IN RIP IT, WIN IT, LIVE IT UP MONOPOLY GAME TO CANANDAIGUA, NY RESIDENT | |
Williamsville, N.Y. –Tops is excited to announce that it has already awarded the first of what is anticipated to be many winners in its Tops Rip It, Win It, Live It Up Monopoly Game. Congratulations are extended to Daisy W. of Canandaigua, NY who is the winner of free groceries for a year. She’ll be presented with her prize on Monday, April 3 at 10am at the Tops located at 5150 North Street, Canandaigua, NY. “I was shocked when I saw that I had an instant winner ticket. I had gone to the store to just grab a bell pepper we needed for dinner and a few other items and cashed out through self-checkout. When I got to my car and saw that I had an instant winner I called my dad and he told me to go back to the store to see what it meant,” Daisy told a tops spokeswoman. “Upon returning the young man who handed me my ticket was very excited and told me this is “big news!” and had to get his manager.” As luck would have it Daisy also learned that the shoppers ahead of her didn’t grab their tickets so she was in the right place at the right time. She immediately called her boyfriend after confirming the winning ticket with the assistant store manager, along with elated calls to her dad, mom and grandma – all of whom were excited for her. “I was in disbelief until I got the official call that I did in fact have a winning ticket. This is a big blessing,” said Daisy. When asked if she is going to shop differently now she already had a plan. “I told my boyfriend we should spend like normal and tuck the money we would have spent away so we can use it for something else.” But she does intend to enjoy a nice steak and lobster dinner to celebrate the surprise win. Daisy loves to cook so she was very excited to win this particular prize and was even teased by her boss that she better bring in some snacks to work.
