$50.00 Gift Card from Co-op
At the beginning of the contest, each member will be assigned a random number. That number will be put into a random number generator that will pick 20 individuals per day (beginning December 4 and ending December 24, 2020).

The random number generator will also pick 2 lucky individuals for the Samsung TV Grand Prizes (December 25, 2020).
