When people buy at retail shops, restaurants, or service providers, they collect gold coins. Every three gold coins equals a raffle ticket for a grand prize drawing, according to the release.
Coins should be dropped off at designated Treasure Chest locations for a chance to win instant prizes every week and to enter the grand prize raffle, where four winnters can receive grand prize gift baskets valued from $500 to $1,600.
The prizes include a pair of diamond star earrings from State Street Jewelers and gift cards from local merchants.
State Street Jewelers and Bee Coco Candle are co-presenting sponsors of the event.
The more gold coins collected, the more chances there are to win, according to the release.
