From Nantucket’s Inquirer and Mirror:

“Sherri Souza had the $5,000 winning ticket in the Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce’s Christmas Eve Red Ticket Drawing on Main Street. Souza received the ticket while shopping at the Nobby Shop.

This year’s winners of $1,000 prizes, and the merchant where they received the ticket, were Palliative Supportive Care (The Nobby Shop), A Safe Place (Four Winds Gift Shop), Lighthouse School (Johnston’s Cashmere), Victor Ferrantella (Don Allen Ford) and Tiffany Balling (Island Airlines).

The annual Red Ticket program awards one red ticket for every $25 spent from Nov. 1-Dec. 24 at participating Chamber member businesses.

This year 364,652 tickets were given out at 48 participating businesses, translating to $9,116,300 spent on Nantucket through the holiday season, an increase of $1.149 million over last year.”
