Drawings

I don't usually sign up for drawings in stores because I figure there is usually a gimmick.  I was in Food City on Saturday during their Holiday Open House.  When I first walked in, I was asked to put my name and phone number in for a drawing for one of four prizes.  I could win a turkey, ham, fruit basket, or candle.  I didn't think much of it after that.  Later that night, I got a message that I had won the ham and to just stop by the service desk to pick up my prize.  I stopped by this evening and sure enough, I walked out with a free 6 1/4 pound ham.  Lesson learned.  Sometimes those drawings do pay off.
