Third Rutter's Customer Wins Free Gas for a Year

YORK, Pa. -- Doug Davis, of West Manchester Township, Pa., is the third of eight lucky Rutter’s customers who will receive free gas for a year in the convenience chain’s “Fuel Up Free!” contest, which runs through Aug. 29 with drawings held approximately every two weeks.

Davis, who eats lunch at Rutter’s nearly every day, said he didn’t believe what he was hearing when a phone call from Rutter’s informed him that he had won free gas for one year. “I thought it was some kind of joke,” said Davis, who drives a trash truck for a living. “I was getting ready to hang up.”

Davis, who is married and has a 17-year-old daughter, has two cars, a pickup and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle in his driveway. He plans to use his winnings mainly “for gas for my truck and my wife’s car,” as she commutes 60 miles each day to her job.

During the “Fuel Up Free!” contest, Rutter’s is offering monthly food and beverage specials. Each purchase of a featured item earns a customer one contest entry. The more featured items purchased, the more opportunities to win, the retailer said.

Customers who swipe their Rutter’s Rewards loyalty cards when they purchase the featured items automatically are entered into the drawing. Customers who purchase the featured items without using a Rutter’s Rewards card receive an entry form that can be filled out and dropped in a designated box at any Rutter’s store.

Participating contest sponsors are Coca-Cola, Davis Beverage, Edy’s Grand Ice Cream, Glaceau, Jack and Jill Ice Cream, Kunzler & Co., Monster Beverages, Nestle Waters, Pepsi Cola, Pennsylvania Lottery, Red Bull, Rutter’s Dairy and S&D Coffee.

The contest is open to legal residents of Maryland and Pennsylvania who are at least 18 years old. No purchase is necessary to participate.
