WEST FIFE’S shoppers have been striking it rich at their local Tesco after a festive promotion saw prizes worth more than £2000 claimed.

Two lucky customers discovered they had each won a cool £1000 in Tesco gift cards after a routine shopping trip to the Tesco store on Carnegie Drive. Their wins came courtesy of a four-week promotion over the festive period that gave customers the chance to win one of a number of guaranteed prizes.

The shoppers who didn’t manage to win the £1000 still walked away with prizes ranging from £1 to £100.

Store manager Richard Moir explained, “We ran the promotion as part of our ongoing launch celebrations as a way to not only thank all our customers for their support since we opened in October but to also give a little helping hand at Christmas when everyone was spending so much money. It has been a big success with both our customers and the store team who have really enjoyed the added element of surprise it brings to their weekly shop.” Lucky shopper Leona Ross, who was a big winner just before Christmas, said, “I can’t believe I’ve won, it made Christmas even more special!” Richard added, “Many customers have been coming back week after week to claim their prize and there has been a real buzz around the store as they enjoy getting money off their shopping bill.”
