We had a sale circular in May that offered a $1,000 shopping spree.
The winner gets to choose up to $1,000 worth of stuff from the sale catalog.
This morning we had a local TV personality, Judd Cribbs, do the drawing ... this guy does a humor / human interest segment for 5 minutes every week night at 5:20 each weekday called "Cribbs Notes".
Judd has a terrific sense of humor and also is a customer of ours. We hammed up the segment pretty good. Statred out with him drawing his own name, then his cameramans name .... as I rejected both ... we finally pulled the actual winner.
We then jumped in the WINK-TV car to go do a Publisher Clearing House type "Prize Patrol". When we got to the lady's houe that won, she apparently is a cat lover cause she had a cute little sign in her front porch that said, "Patricia's Cat House" ... Judd made a funny comment about that.
The woman was so excited to win and said on camera lots of nice things about the store.
Here is a photo of Judd doing the actual winner drawing:

Here is Judd telling the winner she won the $1000 spree.

Right after this photo was taken she asked if she could go in and brush her hair for the rest of the video tapeing.
The PR from this is PRICELESS! Sure wish you all lived close enough to be able to see the segment tonight on TV.
A couple years ago Judd did a segment with me recovering a ring in a canal where he jumped into the canal with a suit and tie on and searched with me looking for the ring. He actually found it and had to hand me his detector so he could dive down and pick it up. We got a lot of good PR on that segment too.
