A Maplewood man who shops at the Maplewood Shop ‘n Save was the grand prize winner of the store’s ‘Price is Right’ sweepstakes, which ran from July 9 to Sept. 16.
Chris Diebold won the $100,000 prize in the ‘second chance drawing’. Shop ‘n Save received more than 14,000 entries at 42 area stores.
Diebold said he got a call about a month ago and at first didn’t believe it when he was told he had won $100,000.
“It’s real. It is real,” he said Friday at the Maplewood Shop ‘n Save.

“I wish I could say we’re going to do something crazy,” he said. His father-in-law suggested they go to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse for dinner.
“We’ll pay bills and student loans. We got three kids. Maybe a little college fund, that’s pretty much it…maybe some new shoes, too.”
