Cost Plus World Market Announces The Winner Of Its “Ultimate Football Fan Sweepstakes”

One Lucky Winner and Guest Attending the Big Game on February 6, 2011

OAKLAND, Calif. (January 27, 2011) – Cost Plus World Market (www.worldmarket.com) is thrilled to announce Patricia Smith of Galesburg, IL as the specialty retailer’s “Ultimate Football Fan Sweepstakes” winner. Out of thousands of entries on World Market’s Facebook fan page, Patricia was the lucky grand prize winner.

A huge football fan, Patricia knew she would attend the big game in Arlington, TX on February 6, 2011, even going so far as telling friends and family, “I’m going to the game, but I just don’t know how!” Although she hails from Illinois and was rooting for her home team to make the final championship playoff, she’s still excited to win the grand prize, which also includes airfare and four-night hotel accommodations for two, car service to and from the game, two tickets to the official VIP Hospitality Party catered by a celebrity chef, and a $1,000 World Market gift card.

Ironically, a fan from Wisconsin lost out to Patricia, but won the sweepstakes’ first prize of an “Ultimate Viewing Party.” Darrell Bennett of Mondovi, WI may not be attending the big game, but he’ll be watching the action on his new 52” plasma screen television and perhaps sitting on a new, comfortable piece of furniture that he purchased with his $1,000 World Market gift card. Gail Shaw of Sacramento, CA won the second prize of a $500 World Market gift card, in which she’ll likely use to stock up on some delicious game day snacks and beverages.

Watching the game from home? World Market has all the ingredients to host a perfect party on game day including craft beers, chips & dip, and savory snack mixes.
