How It Works

Throughout the month of August, send us a copy of your receipt every time you visit and make a purchase at one of downtown’s Black-owned restaurants, bars and retail shops. You’ll be entered to win a $100 SpendaBull e-gift card.

You can submit one receipt per day per merchant. (So if you get a morning coffee, then eat dinner at a restaurant, then pick up a gift from a retail shop, that’s three separate receipts and three entries).

Rules
  • Each entry is valid only for the week in which it is submitted. On Sunday at 12:01 a.m., all the previous week’s entries are cleared, and the submissions begin for the upcoming week.
  • Winners may be required to show ID.
  • DDI will verify winning receipts with the merchant.
  • There is no minimum purchase amount.
  • Participants must be 18 or older to win.
  • SpendaBulls will be delivered via email.
FAQS
  • Can I enter the same receipt for different weekly drawings?
    • No. Each receipt can be used for only one drawing.
  • Do purchases made with a SpendaBull e-gift card count?
    • Yes!
  • Do online purchases count?
    • Yes! Take a screenshot or send a copy of your electronic receipt.
