Downtown Woodstock Launching Summer Scratch Off Event in August

Downtown Woodstock is introducing The Summer Scratch Off Lottery, a new shopping event in August.

Aug. 1 through Aug. 15, shoppers can pick up a scratch off card from participating retail stores to receive store discounts.

“This event is a fun new way for visitors and residents to check out the local retail shops of Downtown Woodstock,” said Sylvia Breitbart, program manager for the Woodstock Office of Economic Development. “The Summer Scratch Off was created to help promote our local business’s offerings, while giving shoppers some truly great discounts simply for shopping at their stores.”

During this shopping event, shoppers can visit participating retail stores in downtown Woodstock to make a purchase and receive one Summer Scratch Off card. Each card contains one of many various discount offerings. The discount on the card can be used at the immediate time of purchase, or at a later date throughout the month of August at the same business location. All scratch off card discounts will expire Aug. 31.

In addition to the scratch off discounts, shoppers can also add their name and email address to the card and turn it into the retail store to be entered into a raffle to win further prizes. Five raffle winners will each receive $100 in Downtown Dollars.

Downtown Dollars are a year-round program through Visit Woodstock GA, redeemable like cash to any of the participating retail shops and restaurants in the downtown area.

Raffle prize winners will be announced on Visit Woodstock GA’s social media during the first week of September.

The event is aims to promote Downtown Woodstock GA’s locally owned stores and boutiques while offering savings to shoppers.
