As the Digicel Hummer Time promotion came to a close, 12 excited winners looked forward to the Grand Prize Draw on Tuesday night at Royal Palms where one of them would drive away with a brand new Hummer H3 SUV.
In the last few days of the contest Digicel awarded 5 lucky winners with a total of $10,000 in cash. Clovis Smith, Kerry-Ann Copeland, Rossie Vaneta Samuels and Sharon Pryce, were the last contestants to join the existing winners and little did they know that last would prove to be best.
“These last couple of weeks have been phenomenal. The “Hummer Time” promotion has generated so much excitement and enthusiasm,” said Digicel’s Head of Marketing Tina Trumbach.
“We have been amazed with the level of participation and that is what has made the promotion so much fun. The hunt for the Hummer really caught the people’s attention and sparked lots of energy and hype within the local community.”
As 6:30 pm came around on 11 April the contenders gathered for the Royal Palms Hummer Happy Hour where the excitement was reaching fever pitch.
As each of the lucky 12 winners lined up they were asked to draw a key each but only one would start the Hummer.
The anticipation mounted as each winner tried their keys and failed to start the H3 and it wasn’t until the contestant who had drawn the last key, who was also one of the last of the $2,000 winners, placed her key in the ignition there was finally a winner of one of Cayman’s biggest promotions.
Sharon Pryce was beside herself when the Hummer’s engine purred into action.
“I never expected to win anything. I never expected to win the $2,000 I never expected to win the Hummer,” said Sharon who drives a Mitsubishi motorcar and works at Captain’s Bakery.
Miss Pryce, a Jamaican who is now living in George Town, was the last person of 11 entrants to pick a key. “I plan to take my friends for a spin around in it,” she told Cayman Net News.
