Merry McMinnville: Scratch & Win!

November 9, 2024- December 31, 2024

Shop Small, Win Big!

The Merry McMinnville “Scratch & Win” promotion is created by The McMinnville Downtown Association to encourage shoppers to buy local during the holiday season.  Customers are rewarded for “shopping small” through a scratch off reward program.

HOW IT WORKS:

Between November 9th 2024 and December 31st 2024, customers earn one scratch-off ticket when making a purchase of $25+ at participating retailers. Tickets are scratched to reveal prizes. Prizes are redeemed at the participating retailer indicated on the winning ticket.
