Tops honored Mr. Anthon, who was given the winning ticket after making a purchase inside the Tops Friendly Markets location at 5175 Broadway St., Depew, NY with a formal presentation on Monday, February 22. Anthon is the seventh high-level prize winner since the game started on January 10. Since the start of the game, Tops has awarded over $51,000 in prizes to customers in the Western New York area and over $98,000 throughout all market areas.

Customers can play the game by obtaining a free board at any Tops Markets location. At the checkout, one game ticket is given which includes four game markers and one savings coupon.

Among the top prizes are a $200,000 mortgage, 2010 Cadillac SRX, and a seven-day trip for two on Carnival Cruise Lines. There are also five more chances to win a $15,000 room makeover.
