50 people win Publix holiday dinners
Contributed by: YourHub.com on 12/18/2006

Some of the stories were humorous, some were creative - and some were touching.

Several people entered the Publix Holiday Dinner contest on YourHub.com by nominating others who (they believed) needed to win a meal but might not have entered for themselves.

A few people requested that their entries be withdrawn from the contest so others, whom they deemed more deserving, would have a better chance of winning.

Publix responded in kind by increasing the prize.

"It has come to our attention that many families are in need of a little assistance during the holidays," said Shelley King, media manager for Publix, in a letter to Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers.

"Therefore, Publix has decided to offer additional winners a free holiday dinner from the Publix Deli - going from just 10 winners to a total of 50. Fifty winners will now receive a $70 Publix gift card to purchase a Publix Deli Holiday Dinner and/or other groceries."

Ten winners were selected at random from the nearly 100 entries in accordance to the stated contest rules, and Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers employees then selected another 40 for the remainder of the Publix gift cards.

The following entries were selected.

Phyllis Diese, Vero Beach

Ann Gilmore, Fort Pierce
