Quick Chek, which operates more than 120 food store locations throughout New Jersey and southern New York, has announced the winners of its third annual Devils Night Out Sweepstakes.

The sweepstakes, which celebrate Quick Chek’s famed coffee as the official coffee of the New Jersey Devils, asked customers to submit an essay stating why they deserved a “Devils Night Out.”  More than 800 essay entries vying for one Devils Night Out grand prize, along with ten runners up prize packages, were received online and in-store between Feb. 22 and March 22.

Chosen for its creativity, originality and compelling nature, the winning entry was authored by Dana Nicoletti of North Haledon, N.J., who submitted a poem in tribute to her father who had never been to a New Jersey Devils hockey game. Nicoletti’s grand prize package includes: Free Quick Chek coffee for one year; dinner for four at the Prudential Center Restaurant with a visit from a New Jersey Devils alumni player; four lower level tickets to the April 10 New Jersey Devils game; a New Jersey Devils autographed item and New Jersey Devils gift pack.

Ten runners up in Quick Chek’s Devils Night Out Sweepstakes were also chosen to receive: Ten vouchers for free Quick Chek coffee; two tickets to the April 10 New Jersey Devils game; an autographed New Jersey Devils hockey puck and New Jersey Devils gift pack.
