Treasure chest found

On the shores of Lake Eufaula, a weathered treasure chest has been found.

Rumor has it that the chest is filled with $1,000 worth of cash and prizes.

There is only one problem, the chest and its contents are locked up tight.

The Indian Journal needs your help finding the key.

Starting next week, shoppers can get keys at participating businesses and earn the chance to open the lock.

In the Oct. 10 Indian Journal, there will be a treasure map, leading to participating businesses that could hold the key to the missing treasure.

Keys can be collected starting Oct. 11 by visiting those participating businesses.

Each business will have its own promotions to obtain a key.

No purchase is necessary for the first key if you come by the Indian Journal office at 100 2nd Street, Eufaula. Readers can obtain one free key.

Only one pirate will open the chest and win the loot.

Happy Hunting.

HOW TO PLAY!

1. Shop local at participating businesses starting Oct. 11.

2. Collect keys. 3. On Oct. 18, come to the Indian Journal to try your keys. The promotion will go weekly until the key is found or by Oct. 31.

4. The first person to open the chest wins the loot.

Treasure Chest Contest Official Rules No purchase is necessary! Come by our office at 100 2nd Street, Eufaula to request and receive a key* or visit the participating businesses and shop to get addisoutheast tional keys*.

(Participating businesses will distribute keys based on their own individual promotions.)
