Monopoly money became real – all $10,000 of it – Friday for Joshua Peri of Auburn.

Peri is the first major winner in the Monopoly Collect & Win game presented by 27 Top Food & Drug and Haggen Food & Pharmacy stores in Washington. The game started March 16 and Peri, a customer at Top Foods in Lakeland Hills, quickly collected the five tickets needed for the $10,000 prize.

Peri, a lifelong Auburn resident with a wife and two children, said they haven’t decided what to do with the $10,000 prize, one of three available in the Monopoly game.

“I can’t believe we won,” Peri said.

Other prizes in the Monopoly game include a $250,000 mortgage, two $35,000 vehicles, two $25,000 cash prizes and two 2011 Ford F-150 trucks worth $25,000 apiece. More than $5 million in prizes and money-saving offers are included in the game, which continues through June 14.

“We’re so happy that Joshua Peri won one of our top Monopoly prizes,” said James Premo, store manager of Top Foods in Lakeland Hills. “This has been a fun way to show appreciation for our customers.”

Haggen, Inc. operates 29 supermarkets in Washington and Oregon under the Top Food & Drug and Haggen Food & Pharmacy names. Headquartered in Bellingham, it is the largest independent grocer based in the State of Washington.
