Deerfield Woman Wins $1,000 Sweepstakes
Local woman is one of five regional winners throughout the United States.
How would you like to have $1,000 to spend at a bookstore?
Brianne Petrey of Deerfield got that opportunity when she was given a $1,000 gift card from Barnes & Noble Saturday as one of five regional winners in the company’s Discovery Friday Local Sweepstakes in the Deerfield store.
In Petrey’s case, a lot of the money will be spent buying books for graduate study in speech pathology. A 2008 graduate from Deerfield High School who earned her undergraduate degree from Marquette University in the spring, she plans to attend graduate school in the fall.
