DALLAS -- The Army & Air Force Exchange Service wants to fill shoppers' baskets with $3,000 in Exchange gift cards just in time for Easter with its latest contest sponsored by Hershey, Mars and Wrigley.

The Hunt Is On contest starts at the Exchange where shoppers search for clues throughout the store. A clue map can be picked up at the store or downloaded from the Exchange's Patriot Family Connection website at shopmyexchange.com/patriotfamily. After collecting all five answers, contestants can go to the Exchange's Facebook page to post their findings. All five correct answers must be provided to qualify for the prizes.

Four winners will receive a $500 Exchange gift card and 10 lucky winners will receive a $100 Exchange gift card. Winners will be randomly selected and notified by email.

"The Exchange wants shoppers to get hopping so they can win these prizes," said Exchange Chief of Staff Col. Tom Ockenfels. "Besides the contest, the Exchange has everything needed to celebrate Easter. From candy to spring attire, we have it here to make the holiday one to remember."

The Exchange's Hunt Is On contest runs April 4 through April 20. No purchase is necessary to win.
