And the winner is: ticket number 297627.

That was the result of the drawing Monday afternoon to wrap up this year’s Shop St Joseph Holiday Campaign. Officials say the winning ticket was received at J.C. Penny.

If you have that ticket number, call the chamber (816) 232-4461 before 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. Officials will be on hand to answer that line 24/7. If confirmed, you’ll walk away with $10,000.00.

If no winner comes forward by then, another number will be drawn, and the process will repeat itself.

Officials will also reveal the winning ticket numbers in a number of “second chance” drawings sponsored by individual merchants. Once those numbers are publicized, the winners have 30 days to redeem those tickets.

The campaign is an effort by the St Joseph Metro Chamber of Commerce to encourage you to shop locally for your Christmas gifts.

You can find complete rules and other information at the chamber’s web site at http://www.saintjoseph.com/ .
