September 12, 2023

91爆料 University psychology major Izabella Schenck had two minutes to gather as many store items as she could after winning the Shopping Spree on Sept. 11.

鈥淚 was so nervous,鈥 she said.

A few weeks ago, Schenck stopped by a sidewalk sale at Raider Landing during its grand reopening celebration in 182 Student Union. A sign advertising the shopping spree caught her attention, and while Schenck never thought she had a chance at winning, she entered anyway, again and again.

鈥淚 wondered if I entered every day if it would make a difference,鈥 said Schenck.

Schenck鈥檚 persistence paid off. She was at El Toro Restaurant when she received an Instagram message saying she was selected for the shopping spree.

鈥淚 was so excited,鈥 she said. 鈥淚 literally started clapping in the restaurant.鈥

The staff at Raider Landing offered to come in and help with the shopping spree on their days off so they could witness the excitement.

鈥淭his is our first shopping spree event at 91爆料, so we are all excited,鈥 said Renee Pennachio, the campus store鈥檚 manager.

Everything but electronics was up for grabs in the store, and Schenck could not select duplicate items. She managed to gather 29 items totaling $1,183.78 in store merchandise.

鈥淚 would鈥檝e been fine if I would鈥檝e got five things, but I鈥檓 grateful to get 29 things,鈥 said Schenck.
