Brandon Duncan, Kino Martin, Kelroy Richardson, Elvis John, Sylvia Williams, Arthur Matthews, Taneil James, Sylvanus Stewart, Leona John, Stephanie Williams and Sharon French Stapleton all got something to smile about when they entered Digicel’s Corporate Offices in the Sprott’s Building on Bay Street.

The other three were rewarded as follows: Richardson received a Sony Playstation 3 and a Sony Ericsson W760 handset, John got a Sony Mini Hi-Fi Component and a Sony Ericsson W760 handset, while Leona John collected a DVD Home Theatre System and a Sony Ericsson W760 handset.

Leona John, who is a Social Worker living in Enhams, commented: “I feel more than excited because it is the first time that I am winning something, and I must count this as my very lucky day and I will always cherish this gift.”

Smiling all the way, Elvis John who hails from Murray’s Village said: “I really wanted a system and a good phone, so I am glad.”

Taking home the Playstation 3, Richardson, who is a Police Officer, said that he is surprised to have won. The Barrouallie resident said that he has little experience with game systems but said: “I will learn.”

Martin, who resides in Mesopotamia, said that he is going to open a bank account for his son, while Sylvia Williams said that her prize is going in bills. James said: “I’m elated and thankful to Digicel.”
