Golden Ticket Found, Mt. Greenwood Woman Wins S&T Prize

CHICAGO — Game over! The coveted "golden ticket" placed in the community by S&T Provisions Owner Brian Giaretta last week has been found. After several days of suspense, Giaretta revealed on Facebook Thursday afternoon that the ticket was hidden in a ventilation gap at the bottom of a mausoleum at Mount Olivet Cemetery. The mausoleum is near the famed cemetery's main gate, hence the clue: "I can see 111th Street."

The ticket, worth $2,000 in cash, was found early Thursday afternoon by Chelsea Svec, a Mount Greenwood neighborhood resident.

More details on which clues were hidden and how they all led to the placement of the ticket are available on the S&T Provisions Facebook page now.

For the last week-plus, neighborhood residents and visitors from near and far gathered in the community to take part in the scavenger hunt, which supported not only local neighborhood businesses but S&T's Thanksgiving food drive as well. The hunt went so wide-spread that S&T sweatshirts sold out at The Plug T-Shirt store quickly as hunters were given a clue for their purchase. Also, the lines at Wonderburger and La Fiesta were both more than a block long as hunters awaited their final clue this morning.
