The City of Grand Bazaar, part of the ANSA McAL Group of Companies, yesterday announced six lucky winners for its Unwrap an Amazing Christmas Promotion. The promotion, which started in November, aims to reward customers for choosing Grand Bazaar as their preferred place for Christmas shopping.
The grand prize is a brand new Honda City CNG, second prize is $12,000 in Xtra Foods vouchers, third prize is $7,000 in Pennywise vouchers, fourth prize is a Whirlpool 30" cooker, fifth prize is as three-piece living room suite and sixth prize is a Samsung smart television.
The event took place in the Oasis Food Court in Grand Bazaar for the second to sixth prize winners. There were two children's wading pools filled with thousands of entry slips. One was placed in the food court where five lucky names were selected by several children “diving” into the pool and mixing up the entry forms assisted by Anthony Salloum, the general manager of the mall. The second pool was placed outside the food court, where they did the draw for the Honda City CNG grand prize.
Salloum said “There were more than 40,000 entries and we waited until December passed to have the draw today where we have a lot of people.”
Harkening back to his calypso days when he was known as “Mastertone”, Salloum sang "The hat I got for Christmas is too big", complete with oversized sombrero and poncho.
Paul Sabga, operations supervisor at Grand Bazaar, said the presentation of the prizes will be on Wednesday.
Also present were Tatil agency manager David Stephens and 95.1 Remix Mike Ross.
