Problem:Jeweler offers $150,000 in refunds if snow hits New Year's Day 
  
 P.K. Bennett Jewelers ran a promotion offering future refunds to customers who made purchases there from between Black Friday and Christmas Eve, if it snows more than 3 inches between midnight and noon on New Year’s Day. 
  
 Some folks in the Mundelein area will be anxiously awaiting more than a ball to drop this New Year’s Eve. A local jewelry store is offering $150,000 in refunds if it snows more than 3 inches Wednesday morning. 
  
 With weather reports predicting as much as 5 inches Wednesday, the shop is expected to have to pay up. 
  
 “It looks like hopefully that’s going to happen,” said Rich Bennett, a Mundelein resident who has owned the store with his wife Peggy since 2001. 
  
 Bennett said 224 customers opted in to the free promotion, amounting to almost $151,000 in free jewelry and custom work done at the store. 
  
 Because Bennett’s insurance company would cover the cost of refunding the items, he said he thought it would be a good way to celebrate a recent store expansion and thank customers for their support. 
  
 “I’m not losing out on anything,” he said. “The cost of the (insurance) premium is figured into our cost of business. For us, there’s only an upside to this entire thing. It’s a great promotion, and a great way for us to help give back to our customers.” 
  
 The shop at 742 S. Butterfield Road ran commercials about the promotion, sent out emails and postcards to customers and advertised on their Facebook page, Bennett said. 
  
 Owners will use official snowfall amounts at O’Hare airport as their measure. The store plans to throw a “cash and champagne party” to celebrate if the weather forecasts prove accurate. 
  
 While Bennett said he’s still working out a way to notify customers if the snow hits, he might not have to do much reaching out. 
  
 “Since the weather reports came out in the last day, our Facebook page has just exploded,” he said. 
  
 If everything goes according to plan, he said he expects his insurance company to take up to two weeks to certify the snowfall and cut him a check. 
  
 Bennett said this year’s Christmas season was the store’s best ever, and only 10 people or so decided not to participate in the promotion. ||||| Courtesy Rich Bennett 
  
 Chicago jeweler Rich Bennett tried to drum up business during the Christmas season by promising that the holiday bling would be free if it snowed more than 3 inches by noon on New Year's Day. 
  
 The flakes started falling this morning and the National Weather Service measured the accumulations at noon to be 3.7 inches at O'Hare Airport - a declaration that will cost Bennett $151,000. 
  
 Bennett insists he is delighted to lose the gamble. He and his wife Peggy, owners of PK Bennett Jewelers, are even throwing a champagne party for the customers. 
  
 "Of course I would love to be able to throw a party and hand back cash to all my customers," Bennett told ABC News. 
  
 Bennett moved his shop two doors to a larger show room on Oct. 1. "We wanted to think of something we could do that would be fun and give back to our customers," Bennett said. 
  
 "This year was the best year ever and we just had the best Christmas season ever," he said. 
  
 So he launched his gamble. "If it snows, it's free," reads the banner on P.K. Bennett Jeweler's homepage. The offer was good for anyone who bought jewelry between Black Friday and Christmas day. 
  
 He said 224 people opted for the promotion and one man who knew he would be buying an engagement ring down the road decided to purchase a gift card first to double his money and get an even nicer ring. 
  
 For one reason or another seven people decided to stay out of it, even though there was zero risk on their part. 
  
 "Some were worried that we were going to be writing the check and said, 'You're going to go broke,' then where am I going to go?" Bennett quoted one customer. 
  
 Engagement rings and anniversary bands were the big sellers. One of the most popular sales was an opal diamond ring coming in at $7,700 he said. 
  
 "It's been a lot of fun and it's generated a lot of excitement amongst our customers this holiday season," Bennett said. |||||
Solution:
It was one of those weird promotions made during the heat of the holiday shopping season: "If it snows, it's free," promised a Chicago jeweler. That is, Rich Bennett pledged refunds to anyone who bought from his shop between Black Friday and Christmas Eve if it snowed more than 3 inches on the first morning of the new year. Final results: 3.7 inches by noon, $151,000 in refunds owed by Bennett, and 224 very happy shoppers, reports ABC News. Bennett, though, says he's happy with the way things turned out, and a story last week in the Chicago Tribune helps explain why: With the forecast then predicting snow, Bennett said that his insurance company would be the one picking up the cost if his gamble didn't pan out. "I'm not losing out on anything," he said. In fact, he and his wife are throwing a champagne party for the customers who participated.
