TOPS MARKETS AWARDS WINNER OF $15,000 ROOM MAKEOVER IN COMPANY’S MONOPOLY COLLECT AND WIN GAME
Over $98,000 awarded in prizes since January 10 start of game

Tops Friendly Markets, the leading full-service grocery retailer in Western New York, Central New York, including Rochester, and Northwestern Pennsylvania, is proud to announce that Gregory Anthon of Depew, NY is the winner of a $15,000 room makeover as part of the new customer Monopoly Collect and Win game, based on the world-famous Hasbro board game, MONOPOLY.

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. Mary Pohl, of North Tonawanda, NY was awarded $10,000 college tuition, Sandra Stachowski of North Tonawanda, NY, was the winner of $2,500 in free gas, Luz Hillman, of Lockport, NY, won $5,200 in free groceries, and Joan Edwards of Lockport, NY, was awarded a $1,500 LCD TV, among many more prize winners of gift cards, airfare and iPod touches.

The game is the first of its kind for a grocer in the area and allows customers to play every time they check out at a Tops Markets location. 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. As customers collect game ticket markers, they are placed on the MONOPOLY board. A prize is awarded once a section is completed on the individual game board. Customers have the opportunity to earn bonus game tickets by purchasing specially marked products throughout Tops Markets locations.

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. The game runs through April 10, 2010.
