PLAYER'S EDGE: Terrible's launches its
$100,000 'Blizzard of Cash'
During the next two months, Terrible's will be giving away $100,000 via weekly drawings in its "Blizzard of Cash" promotion. As with past promotions, there will be three prize drums. Every Tuesday from 7-9 p.m., the casino will pull five entries from the "Blizzard" drum (to win $1,000), 10 entries from the "Snow" drum (to win $500) and 15 entries from the "Ice" drum (to win $250). Players can choose which drum they want to compete in, but their choice must remain the same throughout the promotion. Based on their carded play from Oct. 15, players can get one entry into the "Ice" drum for every 250 points ($250 coin-in), one entry into the "Snow" drum for every 500 points or one entry into the "Blizzard" drum for every 1,000 points. Players not present at the drawing have 24 hours to claim one-half of the cash amount of their prize at the casino cage. All unclaimed amounts will be given away at the final Dec. 26 drawing at which all winners must be present.
