Enter Fort Wayne restaurant, station and shopping drawings through sponsor rules and track claim and signup deadlines.

Fort Wayne residents can find gift-card giveaways at Zianos restaurants, through PBS Fort Wayne drawings, plus credit-union promotions and Jefferson Pointe shopping events. In this context, a giveaway means a chance to win that requires entry and meeting residency, age or deadline rules, not an assured card. Legit entries run through the sponsor's own page with written rules.

"No purchase necessary" still means you must enter correctly, and a drawing differs from a birthday perk or discount.

Verification note: Program terms and availability can change. This page was checked against linked sources on October 10, 2026.

Where is the monthly restaurant drawing?

Zianos Italian Eatery runs a recurring monthly $50 gift-card giveaway at its three Fort Wayne locations. Entry is limited to one email entry per person, with a random winner drawn the third Friday each month, according to the restaurant's current terms page. The location limit matters because entry covers only those Fort Wayne restaurants.

The date limit matters because the drawing happens on a set day rather than rolling entries. Winners must claim within five days of email notice or lose the prize. Readers should watch inbox and spam folders around the third Friday.

Which drawings use social media or written rules?

PBS Fort Wayne operates standing social-media giveaways entered through Facebook, Instagram or TikTok. Entry is open to U.S. residents age 18 or older living in its designated market area, with no purchase necessary, according to the station's social-media giveaway rules.

ProFed Credit Union of Fort Wayne also runs rules-governed giveaways, including a holiday promotion. Its rules describe how to request rules and a winners list by mail to 1710 St Joe River Drive, Fort Wayne, IN 46805. PBS Fort Wayne excludes station employees and household members.

Readers should check residency, age and household limits before entering either drawing.

Do shopping events and birthdays help?

Jefferson Pointe, at 4130 W Jefferson Blvd in Fort Wayne, lists gift-card giveaway shopping events on its events calendar. Those listings include boutique and seasonal promotions tied to specific dates. Visit Fort Wayne's birthday guide, updated Oct.

2, 2025, says local restaurants offer birthday meals, desserts, beverages or perks. Many require advance signup for a no-cost rewards club, according to the Visit Fort Wayne birthday guide. A shopping drawing is a chance to win, while a birthday perk is a defined benefit with its own signup rule.

Readers chasing a birthday treat should join the required club days before the birthday.

How do you check an offer before sharing data?

Indiana's Attorney General warns Hoosiers that government-imposter contacts use unsolicited calls, texts and mail to seek money and personal information, according to the State of Indiana warning. Fort Wayne residents should apply the same check to any "gift-card giveaway."

  • Enter only through the restaurant, station, credit-union or shopping-center page named in the rules.
  • Read entry limits, age limits, market-area limits, drawing dates and claim windows first.
  • Never pay, share financial details or provide personal information to claim a "free" card.
  • Avoid gift cards from online auction sites and messages asking for data in exchange for a card.
  • Save the rules screenshot, entry confirmation and any winner notice with dates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I enter the Zianos drawing more than once per month?

No. The terms allow one email entry per person for the monthly $50 drawing.

Do I need to live in Fort Wayne for the PBS Fort Wayne drawing?

You must be a U.S. resident age 18 or older living in the station's designated market area, with no purchase necessary.

Why did a birthday perk fail at checkout?

Many restaurant clubs require signup days before the birthday, so joining on the birthday itself can miss eligibility.
