In the spirit of the holiday season, Saz’s State House, 5539 W. State St., has brought back one of their favorite dining promotions: No Peeking.
And while this promotion requires a bit of patience and restraint, it can pay off for you in a very good way during the new year.
Can you do these five things?
- Read this article carefully so you don't miss something;
- Visit Saz’s State House for at least one meal during the month of December;
- Avoid losing the scratch-off card they give to you each time you dine;
- Refrain from peeking/scratching off the film on the scratch-off cards;
- Make one or more visits to Saz’s State House in January or February to redeem your card for a prize;
If you think you can successfully complete that five-part challenge, then you qualify to win at least one of a slew of great prizes (including FREE Saz’s combo platters for an entire year).
But we must emphasize: You REALLY have to take care with your scratch-off cards. If one or more of them have been tampered with before you step foot inside the State House on or after Jan. 2, they will no longer be valid. So you should put any cards you collect in a very safe place where they won’t get scuffed up (i.e. NOT in your back pocket or wallet).
When you do visit in the New Year (between Jan. 2 and Feb. 29), Sazzy Santa will collect your scratch card and you can claim your prize. Only one card can be redeemed per visit.
That said, every single scratch-off card is a winner. Prizes include:
- Free Appetizer with Purchase
- Free Dessert with Purchase
- Buy One, Get One Entree or Sandwich of equal or lesser value
- Free Saz’s BBQ Sauce
- Free Saz’s Combo Platter for a Year
- Saz’s T-Shirt or Hat
- $25, $50, and $100 Gift Cards
- Saz’s State House Party for 10 – up to $300 in value (dine-in only)
Oh, yeah. One more thing. No grinches are allowed to receive or redeem a No Peeking! scratch-off card. This festive offer is valid only for guests with a festive spirit and a jolly smile.
Please note: The number of No Peeking! Scratch-off cards are limited, so you’ll want to work in those December meals at Saz’s sooner rather than later.
