Beginning November 16, more than 140 million Hallmark Keepsake Sweepstakes™ game pieces will be distributed through participating Hallmark Gold Crown® stores in the Tyrone area and national publications, including People, Entertainment Weekly, Us Weekly, TV Guide and via cable and satellite distributors, as well as on line at Hallmarkfortheholidays.com, which is accessible from hallmark.com and hallmarkchannel.com – and eBay.com.
Each TV match-and-win game pieces included two peel back windows. One window could reveal an instant-win for one of the 2,000,000 Hallmark Home Entertainment videos and Hallmark Chocolatier Trio boxes, redeemable only at participating Hallmark Gold Crown® stores. The other window reveals a code and asks viewers to watch six key Hallmark Channel original holiday events during which winning numbers are displayed. If their number appears on screen, they win a grand prize, first prize or second prize.
The Sweepstakes’ grand prizes include a trip to New York City, a magical trip to England with a stay in an enchanted castle, a Dodge Viper with an eBay shopping spree of $10,000 worth of toys, $100,000 in cold cash, an Old World Christmas in Germany, and a family reunion cruise.
The more game pieces a consumer picks-up at the Tyrone area Hallmark Gold Crown® stores and watches Hallmark Channel, the greater the chances to win a grand prize.
