TOPS COLLECT AND WIN: MONOPOLY® AWARDS TWO NY RESIDENTS FREE FOOD FOR A YEAR | |
WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y. – Tops Friendly Markets, a leading full-service grocery retailer in New York, northern Pennsylvania, and Vermont is pleased to announce that two lucky recipients in New York State are the recent recipients of FREE FOOD FOR A YEAR thanks to TOPS Monopoly Collect and Win! Joan Morabito of Geneva, NY and Brittany Komosinski of Grand Gorge, NY were stunned when they learned they had collected the winning tickets during their respective shopping trips to TOPS. “I had never won anything before,” exclaimed Joan, “not even bingo.” But that all changed when she did some extra shopping for the Easter holiday and came home to place her Monopoly pieces on her board. When her 8-year-old great grandson, Jay, came over later that day and learned that she had won, he had had a sneaking suspicion. “She was acting all excited, like she had had 12 bottles of Mountain Dew or something,” he said smiling. When asked if she will continue to play Monopoly Collect and Win, Joan didn’t hesitate to answer. “Oh yes! I'm one away on some other prizes so you never know!" For Brittany her good fortune came by way of a stranger paying it forward. Komosinski, a loyal TOPS shopper, and former employee of the Stamford, NY TOPS location, discovered her winning ticket after placing several tickets on her board that she received from a fellow TOPS shopper in the TOPS parking lot. "I had been playing the game, but a gentleman handed me easily 18 extra tickets. I couldn't believe it when I won!" Little did this gentleman know he was paying it forward to this mother of three who said this will certainly help her growing family pay for things especially baby formula. -more- TOPS Monopoly® Collect and Win returned to TOPS for its 9th consecutive season March 11 and will run through June 2, 2018 (or while tickets last).
