Want to Go See a Show? Laurier's Luckiest Will Take You There.
We’ve just released our latest Laurier’s Luckiest Student Prize. You could take in a show thanks to a $300 gift certificate to Centre In The Square. And with the TD 30 Under 30 program, you’ll be able to see most performances for $30. You can really make this one stretch.
As an example, shows this season include John Legend, Green Day’s American Idiot, Craig Ferguson and Whose Line Is It Anyway?
This guy’s playing too.
This brings our current prize value to $6,500. Not too shabby. And we’ve still got something up our sleeves.
Here's one more gift. Use voucher code ROCKOUT for another 25 entries. The catch is that you must have opted in to every single prize available (but why wouldn’t you, right?).
We’re going to make it rain extra entries for Laurier’s Luckiest Student this weekend. I mean, yeah, it only takes one entry to win. But you know what’s better than one entry? 600 of them.
Keep an eye on the Laurier Students’ Union, Wilf’s Restaurant & Bar and the Turret Nightclub Facebook and Twitter feeds, because they’ll be your main source to earn extra entries.
Oh, that’s not enough? You can earn some extra entires by liking some of our sponsors on Facebook and following them on Twitter. There’s a full list here - http://lls.studentlifenetwork.com/entry/
If you’re still reading this, I’m impressed. Use voucher code SCOTTYSFAVE to score 25 extra entries, because I like you so much.
