The winner, Wayne Altemoos of Olcott, NY will be presented with an autographed plaque commemorating the one-millionth bottle of Gene Simmons MoneyBag Sodas, which was sold at Tops. Wayne entered into an online social media contest conducted by Tops earlier this month hoping to win autographed memorabilia, but had no idea that Gene himself would be there presenting the prize along with a plentiful supply of his son Austin’s favorite MoneyBag flavor soda (Cream Soda), courtesy of Tops.

To date, Tops carries the brand in over 90 Tops locations.
