Outlet Holding Corp. says customers can enter its Free Groceries for Life sweepstakes for a chance to win a range of prizes, including a lifetime of free groceries.
“This sweepstakes puts the treasure in treasure hunt,” Eric Lindberg, chairman and interim president and CEO for Grocery Outlet, said in a news release. “We are absolutely thrilled to be able to offer this Free Groceries for Life sweepstakes to our loyal shoppers and any new ones that come along.”
To enter, new and existing mobile app users should enter their phone number into the POS pin pad or show their app to the cashier at checkout. The Grocery Outlet mobile app allows shoppers to see what’s in stock, stay ahead of exclusive offers and deals — including Grocery Outlet sweepstakes — while also customizing their shopping experience, the release said.
The number of sweepstakes entries participants receive will vary based on the purchase date, the purchase amount and items in shoppers’ baskets. Grocery Outlet said it will randomly select 32 winners from all eligible entries in April, and winners can expect to receive one of many prizes offered during the sweepstakes. The company said there will be:
- Two prizes of free groceries for life, in the form of 12 $500 gift cards awarded annually for up to 40 years. The approximate retail value of this prize is $240,000.
- 10 prizes of free groceries for a year, in the form of 12 $500 gift cards. The approximate retail value of this prize is $6,000.
- 20 prizes of free groceries for a month, in the form of one $500 gift card.
The release said the sweepstakes period begins on Jan. 8 at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Standard Time and ends on March 31 at 11:59 p.m. PST. No purchase or payment of any kind is necessary to enter or win, but participants must be 18 or older and a current resident of California, Delaware, Idaho, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania or Washington. (Void where prohibited.)
Customers can see the official rules and enter without making a purchase by registering on the Grocery Outlet website.
