DALLAS \u2013 <\/b>The Army & Air Force Exchange Service is forgoing the tricks and going right for the treats in its latest contest as it gives away four $500 and ten $100 Exchange gift cards.<\/p>\n

The \u201cHalloween Mystery of the Shadows Sweepstakes<\/a>\u201d will send Exchange patrons on a frightfully fun scavenger hunt throughout the store. Using a treasure map featured online at www.shopmyexchange.com\/partriotfamily<\/a> or from the store, shoppers can use the map to hunt for clues in the Exchange. After collecting all five clues, treasure hunters can go to the Exchange\u2019s Facebook page<\/a> to enter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Exchange is ready for a ghoulishly good time,\u201d said the Exchange\u2019s Senior Enlisted Adviser Chief Master Sgt. Tony Pearson. \u201cIn addition to the sweepstakes, the Exchange is stocked with all the Halloween essentials. From costumes to candy, we\u2019ve got all the ghosts and goblins covered.\u201d<\/p>\n

The contest begins on Oct. 4 and ends at the stroke of midnight on Oct. 31. No purchase is necessary to enter.<\/p>\n
