SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Old Navy is
kicking off the holiday season with five full days of incredible
in-store and online savings, extended shopping hours, an
opportunity to give back and the return of the brand's popular
"Overnight Millionaire" giveaway.
"Old Navy is the ultimate Black Friday destination with on-trend
fashion essentials for the whole family, all at incredible prices,"
said Steve Stickel, Head of Global
Stores for Old Navy. "We can't wait to greet shoppers with some of
the best deals of the season, including special in-store only
savings, all in a fun and energizing shopping environment."
Best Odds Yet for Becoming an Overnight Millionaire
For the third year in a row, when Old Navy opens its doors for
Black Friday shopping, those in line will be given the chance
to win a $1 million jackpot* making
the holiday season extra bright for one lucky shopper. With the
best odds of winning to date, the first 50 people to line up at
each Old Navy store in North
America will receive a game card giving them a chance to
win. The Overnight Millionaire winner will be randomly selected on
November 27, 2015 at 7 p.m. Eastern Time.
"We've had the opportunity to change the lives of two special
customers with our Overnight Millionaire giveaway in recent years,
and we're thrilled to offer this jackpot again this holiday
season," continued Stickel.
Last year, Overnight Millionaire winner Karen Crider's life was forever changed after a
last-minute, Black Friday shopping trip to Old Navy. Since winning
last year, the mother from Salem,
Oregon has moved into a larger home and bought a new car to
accommodate her growing family with her partner and their combined
six kids, as well as take two much anticipated family vacations to
Disneyland and Legoland.
"Winning Overnight Millionaire has been a dream come true," said
Crider. "Before we were a household of eight living in three
bedrooms, but now everyone has their own space and we can travel
together as a family in one car. It has been an amazing,
life-changing event for my family. "
Overnight Millionaire Scott Rowe
has continued to feel the impact since winning in 2013. An 11-year
military veteran, Rowe was able to quit his overseas job to pursue
his dream of becoming a police officer in Central Texas, build a college fund for his
daughters, and invest in real estate. In the last year, Rowe has
pursued his passions further by opening Patriot Coney Island, a
local family-style restaurant and bar in Belton, Texas.
"I am so thankful for this blessing," said Rowe. "The prize
money gave me the opportunity to change my family's life. Now I'm
enjoying things I hadn't been able to in years, like spend more
time with my kids and pursue business ventures that had previously
only been a dream."
Special Deals and Extended Shopping Hours for Black
Friday
With extended shopping hours and some of the biggest savings of
the year, Old Navy is a must-visit Black Friday destination for the

Giving Tuesday
In celebration of Giving Tuesday, Old Navy is offering customers
two ways to give back. From December 1
through December 7, customers are invited to snap a selfie
or a photo of friends and family doing good deeds, then share on
Facebook, Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #UNSelfie and
tagging @oldnavy. Each photo will trigger a $1 donation from Old Navy that will benefit the
Boys & Girls Clubs of America, up to a $25,000 donation.
Additionally, when customers shop with their Old Navy (or other
Gap Inc. brand) credit card at Old Navy stores on GivingTuesday,
the brand will donate 1 percent of customers' total spend to
benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of America, up to a $75,000 donation.
"Old Navy is a brand that believes in giving back and we are
thrilled to participate in the #GivingTuesday movement, as well as
celebrate all the good our customers are doing to help others this
holiday. The fact that all of these good deeds will also
benefit the Boys & Girls Club is a wonderful bonus," Stickel
concluded.
