Win cash playing Business Bingo



Special to The Sun

Wakulla County’s third annual Business Bingo is coming soon! Held from October 27 to November 22 this year, players will have five chances to win cash prizes just for shopping locally.

The Wakulla County Chamber of Commerce created Business Bingo during the Covid 19 pandemic to promote our Wakulla County businesses that give so much to our community. Instead of traditional bingo numbers, the card spaces include consumer choices like “buy something from Sopchoppy” and “purchase meat or seafood” and “purchase from a small business.”

“We started this contest in 2020, not knowing how much interest there would be. But players and businesses have really had fun with it – it’s turned out to be a great way to both advertise our local businesses and compete to win cash for the holidays,” said Missy Rudd Gainer, Chamber Board Member.

Players simply shop locally, save their receipts and note the businesses they shop at. Four lucky players will win a weekly cash prize of $100 and all players are eligible for the grand cash prize of $300!

The first week’s Bingo card can be found in the November Wakulla Sun Monthly, in many local businesses and online at www.wakullacountychamber.com and the Wakulla County Chamber’s Facebook page. Subsequent weekly Bingo cards will be printed in The Wakulla Sun, available at local businesses and posted on the Chamber’s website and Facebook page.

All Bingo cards can be submitted on paper to the Chamber office, 23 High Drive, Crawfordville, or mail to PO Box 598, Crawfordville. They can also be submitted electronically by emailing them with pictures of receipts to wakullabusinessbingo@gmail.com. Players must be at least 18 to win, and the complete rules can be found online at the sites listed above.

Good luck and remember to shop local Wakulla!
