Some 20 businesses took part in the promotion, which featured a heavily-discounted rate negotiated by the BID.
Chris Godding was the lucky winner picked at random from the correct entries, and received £1,000 worth of shopping vouchers to spend at the participating businesses in Newbury.
Russell Downing, of Newbury BID, said: “We were pleasantly surprised by the number of entrants for this competition, with more than 400 people taking part.
“As part of our business plan, we committed to helping local independent stores achieve cost savings to help promote and market their businesses, and this is a great example of collaborative working to achieve this.”
Scott Waters, manager of David Clulow, who participated in the initiative, said: “This promotion was a great way of engaging with the public and driving footfall into our town centre.”
The promotion was run in conjunction with The Breeze Newbury.
