Rudi said the businesses were not required to participate in the event for one full month; four days are enough. However, many have decided to offer sale items or services until late October.
During the event, customers will receive one lottery ticket for every transaction of at least Rp 100,000 (US$6.71). Interestingly, they do not need to fill in any data as they are only required to send an SMS.
The lottery itself will be held at the end of October. "The winner could also be a tourist who lives outside Yogyakarta," he said, adding that among the prizes available was a Daihatsu Sigra as the main prize, as well as five motorcycles.
Other than the Jogja Great Sale, the city is also hosting Festival Jogja as the main event of the anniversary celebration. (kes)
