Merry Christmas! ???????? Other mainstream newspapers are begging readers for money, and trying to sell you 5 articles for $0.99/ month. We here at Ocean County Scanner News are offering you a FREE GIFT- Our prices are insane (remember Crazy Eddie?) In an effort to make the holiday season a little better, OCSN has decided to give away this NEW Element 19” Smart Television. It is model #ELEFT195 and originally retailed for $80 MSRP.

You can see the actual pictures of the prize below. All features are listed on the box- or you can research online. Please see instructions below the first picture for how this contest will work.

To make sure this television goes to a deserving home, we would like to hear why you want to win it. You can be as specific as you wish, but please keep your entries to one paragraph maximum. Explain via email why you could really use this TV, or nominate someone else who could. Maybe you need it for an office, nursing home, or anywhere else this TV would make someone’s holiday season better? We will select a few top stories to anonymously share on another post.

The final decision (winner) will be made by Ocean County Scanner News staff. The actual winner will be personally notified via Facebook messenger and email. Public input/ opinion may or may not be used in determining the final grand prize winner.

To win the TV- send your entry paragraph via email to [email protected]. Include your name, a valid phone number, and a short story about how winning this TV would make a difference in your holiday season. It could be how you or your family needs the TV, or how you want to donate it somewhere if you win. OCSN will use the individual email entries in a separate story to incorporate public opinion. All names and situations will be altered to protect privacy when required. We truly want to make sure someone deserving has a Merry Christmas- and this valuable prize goes to a good home.

One lucky winner will be chosen on or around December 15, 2020. Winner must be able to meet an OCSN staff member at a public location in Toms River to pick up the prize. Prize pickup must occur within 5 days of winner notification- or we will award it to the runner up. OCSN will not mail or ship the TV, nor will we release the prize to a third-party designee. Contest is open to all US residents 18 years of age or older.
