"The people around here can use it," said Shin's husband, Luis Soler, who also works at the Trenton store. "Whoever it is hopefully does some really good things with it."
The winner has yet to come forward.
"It's a very small neighborhood ... so we see a lot of the same people every day," Soler said. "I'm excited for them."
