Co-worker Valerie recently made a purchase and when the clerk gave her the receipt, he told her to be sure to go to the website on it and take the survey there for a chance to win prizes. He said there was a similar offer once and only one woman bothered to take the survey and she won the $25,000 because no one else tried for it.

We’re not sure whether that story is truth or rumor but we do know that numerous stores and restaurants have receipts with offers of a chance at prizes if you answer a few questions, usually about the service you received. Some give you a website to visit while others have an (800) number to call. Why not give it a shot? You could be the one who wins.
