Paul Bentacourt went outside the mall to spend most of his money. Bentacourt said, "We had a 150 from outside stores, and about a 100 from within the mall, so a really good idea to bring business to Clovis."
It is called "Big Wins Day". Shawn Miller works for the City of Clovis. Miller said, "We got almost a 100,000 people living in the City of Clovis. So if every single resident of the city spends $10, we got a million dollars."
There's no way to know for certain if Clovis sees a sales boost. Store manager Sandra Bernier called Wednesday a big win- her Payless Shoe Store saw a 10-percent increase in purchases. Bernier said, "This is make it or your not. So, we are striving for a good Christmas. I'm on a good role, so I am going to make it."
If you haven't shopped Wednesday, you still have time. At 7:30 pm a drawing will be held at the Sierra Vista Mall to give away nearly 30 prizes. The latest to submit your receipts for tickets is 7:15 pm.
