This holiday season, 15 customers might find a golden “Esther’s Ticket”  in their box of chocolates. From now through Jan. 11, Esther Price will be placing 15 tickets into their one-pound boxes of mixed, milk, and dark assorted chocolates across seven stores in the Miami Valley. Once all of the tickets are claimed, 15 customers will win the chance to tour the Esther Price factories in production and eat freshly-made chocolate on Jan. 11, 2020.

Customers will need to present their golden ticket at the start of the tour, before entering the building. Additionally, those who snag a ticket are encouraged not to post a photo of the back of their ticket, in order to avoid duplication by others. Those who inevitably receive an “Esther’s Ticket” should contact the company on social media to redeem the code on the back of their ticket.
