WALL, N.J. - New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG) is pleased to announce the return of its Save Energy. $ave Money. Win Prizes! sweepstakes. As part of Conserve to Preserve®, NJNG's umbrella for environmental stewardship, the sweepstakes encourages customers (who are 18 years or older and reside within NJNG's service territory) to test their energy-efficiency knowledge for a chance to win.

'This year's sweepstakes is our most exciting yet. It will certainly bring out the competitive nature in our customers as they see how energy smart they are. Our Save Energy. $ave Money. Win Prizes! sweepstakes allows us to share no- to low-cost energy-saving tips with our customers in a fun and interactive way, while motivating them to make wise energy choices,' said Anne-Marie Peracchio, director of conservation and clean energy policy at New Jersey Natural Gas.

NJNG is giving away a total of $25,000 in prizes, including instant prizes and a $5,000 cash grand prize. This year's Save Energy. $ave Money. Win Prizes! sweepstakes asks players to answer a series of energy-efficiency questions. For each question answered correctly, players earn the chance to win an instant prize as well as receive an entry for the grand prize giveaway. Moreover, correct answer streaks earn players bonus entries. And, when participants share NJNG's Save Energy. $ave Money. Win Prizes! sweepstakes on Facebook and Twitter with friends and family - who are also NJNG customers - and someone registers and plays as a result, they will earn another entry.

The leaderboard tracks the progress of a respective player as well as compares how well they are doing to other customers playing the game. 'It's easy to get caught up in trying to beat your own winning streak. One wrong answer and you can lose your unsaved entries for the grand prize giveaway, but customers can play it safe and save their progress periodically so they do not lose their entries, Peracchio added. If players answer a question incorrectly, they lose all their sweepstake entries for that session and have to start over to earn more. NJNG reminds customers to click on the 'Finish and Save My Entries' button (at the bottom of the page) along the way to save their progress and, thus the entries.
