Today, Coinstar launched its Snap2Win Photo Contest, a favorite that gives consumers the chance to win up to $500 by simply submitting a photo and caption of how they spent the cash from their coin stashes at home. The contest celebrates the many ways consumers unlock the value of their coins including buying a wish list item, donating to a favorite charity, embarking on a bucket-list trip with a loved one, enrolling a child in an art class, or attending a concert or special event.

“Converting your change at a Coinstar® kiosk is more than just collecting cash, it’s the beginning of a story,” said Jennifer Margolis, senior marketing manager at Coinstar. “Since launching this contest in 2015, it’s been a lot of fun to see the many things our customers purchase with the change they have around their house and car. Last year, our first-place winner was able pay for a portion of their wedding and another winner used their cash to adopt a puppy – the possibilities are endless.”
