BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. -- The Army and Air Force Exchange Service and Mars/Wrigley are partnering to offer "house money" to one lucky authorized Continental U.S. shopper.

The "Mars/Wrigley Power of one Sweepstakes" gives shoppers at the Barksdale Exchange the opportunity to win a $50 gift card.

Entering the giveaway automatically also registers patrons into a national sweepstakes for a chance to win a $10,000 check towards rent or mortgage.

"The living will definitely be easier for one lucky service member," said Barksdale's Exchange General Manager Gilbert Mata. "In addition to someone winning the $50 gift card here at Barksdale, a national winner will bring the sweepstakes 'home' and forego making a rent or mortgage payment for basically the entire year."

The "Mars/Wrigley Power of one Sweepstakes" runs from June 1-30 and the in-store drawing for a $50 gift card will take place at the Barksdale Exchange on or about July 23. Contestants must be 18 years old or older and no purchase is necessary to enter.
