On October 25, a party will be held at Casetas’ Parque Mur, where the winner will be announced, although that will not be the only attraction. There will also be a market featuring some of the association’s businesses, music and even cabezudos from the neighborhood parade for the youngest visitors.

HOW TO ENTER THE €1,000 DRAW

The process is very simple. For every purchase of more than 10 euros at Casetas’ small businesses, customers will receive a stamp in a passport, which they must obtain beforehand. To complete it, they will have to collect four stamps, corresponding to purchases made at four different businesses in the neighborhood.

Participants can fill out as many passports as they wish. The ballot boxes for submitting passports with all four stamps will be located at the businesses belonging to the Casetas Small Business Association. You have until this Saturday, October 24, to enter, and the draw will take place on Sunday, October 25.

A MARKET, A PARTY AND A WINNER IN CASETAS

The winner will be selected at Ricardo Mur Park during an event featuring music and entertainment throughout the morning. In addition, the youngest visitors will be able to enjoy the company of the cabezudos from the Casetas parade, while one of the member businesses will offer a line-dancing class.

The event will run from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., although the draw is scheduled to take place between 12:30 and 1 p.m. Three children will draw three tickets: one for the winner and two backups. The lucky winner will receive a prize of 1,000 euros.

1,000 EUROS TO SPEND IN ONE MORNING

And here comes the best part: the winner will have one morning to spend the 1,000 euros in prize money at participating businesses. Accompanied by the association’s president, they will be able to buy whatever they want, as long as they do so at one of the participating establishments.

From furniture and clothing to hairdressing services, the lucky winner will have up to 30 businesses available in which to spend the prize. However, to enjoy this experience, they will first have to get lucky.
