SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - Oct 31, 2011) - Barona Resort & Casino will give away one Golden Ticket every day for 53 straight days that could change the life of one lucky player. From November 1 through December 23, Club Barona members can enter daily to win one of 53 Golden Tickets and one of those Golden Tickets will win a grand prize drawing of $250,000; 50 winners will also each take home $1,000 in cash.

"The Golden Ticket is the largest, guaranteed grand finale prize giveaway in Barona's history," said Rick Salinas, general manager of Barona Resort & Casino. "And, one lucky winner will absolutely and positively walk away with a quarter of a million dollars. Just imagine what you could do with all of that cash!"

Each day starting Nov. 1, Club Barona members can earn 500 myPoints, or equivalent table games play, to be entered into the daily Golden Ticket drawing. Platinum and Diamond club members will be awarded two entries per day. Those who qualify will be entered into a daily drawing for a Golden Ticket at 9 p.m. Throughout the promotion, each of the 53 lucky Golden Ticket winners will be entered into the $250,000 grand prize drawing.

Club Barona members who earn 500 myPoints are automatically entered into the $250,000 drawing that will take place on December 23 plus ten winners will be randomly selected from all of the entries over the 53 days to win $1,000 at the top of every hour from 4 to 8 p.m. So, even if guests don't win a Golden Ticket on the days they play, they could still be one of the lucky winners who win $1,000 on December 23. Of course the real fun will be when the $250,000 grand prize winner is drawn at 9 p.m. And, guests don't have to be present to win any of the drawings as their name and card number will be posted throughout the casino and on www.barona.com.
