St. Augustine resident Janet Tillman won the $5,000 Ultimate Shopping Spree Sweepstakes sponsored by the owner of Prime Outlets–St. Augustine.

The sweepstakes was held in early November during the grand opening of the $35 million, 90,000-square-foot renovation and expansion project at State Road 16 and Interstate 95.

Tillman, an insurance agent in St. Augustine, will receive $5,000 in Prime Outlets gift cards, along with a two night-stay at The Casa Monica Hotel at the end of January.

Baltimore-based Prime Retail operates 21 outlet centers throughout the Southeast and Puerto Rico. The company acquired the St. Augustine center in 2006, when it was still entirely indoor, and quickly went to work on expansion plans that included the outdoor strip of mostly high-end shops attached to the original facility. The facility now has a total of 340,000 square feet.
