Submit Your Receipts:
Snap a pic or screenshot of your receipt or order confirmation showing $25 or more and email it to downtownharrisonburg@gmail.com. Each $25 spent counts as an additional entry! So, for example, if you spend $77 at one business, that will count as three entires when you submit it to us. The grand total, after taxes, tips, and shipping, is what we will count. We will round up if you’re within $3 of an additional entry. Receipts must be dated 2/22/2021 or later.
See if You Win!
Each Monday during the campaign period we will draw two random winners from receipts submitted during the prior week to win the prizes listed in the schedule above. Entries must be submitted by 9am the Monday of the drawing to be eligible for that week’s drawing. If a winner does not wish to claim their prize or does not respond to out attempts to contact them within seven days, a new winner will be drawn.
