The first winner in the Talk and Win promotion was Dexter Williams of Park Hill, who now resides and works in Canouan. Williams, on Wednesday August 24, spoke for just over eight minutes on a single telephone call. And, on Thursday, August 25, Grace Jacobs of Union Island was selected as the second Talk and Win winner, talking for just over seven minutes, while Friday’s winner was Stefano Billingy of Largo Heights who made a telephone call lasting five minutes and 36 seconds.

All the winners were on Wednesday, August 31 invited to Digicel’s main office to collect their winnings. The winners, who were all smiles, said it was their first time winning in any promotion put on by Digicel.

The customers described Digicel as a company that is truly committed to its customers, explaining that the monies could not have come at a better time. The lone male winner, Stefano Billingy, said he has been a Digicel customer for more than 13 years now and the cash will help to ensure that he ends the summer in grand style. Esther Moore-Wilson said she is happy that her friend Grace Jacobs is among the winners, explaining that her friend is now pregnant and the money will go towards her preparations to welcome her new baby. Susan Baynes, the common-law wife of Dexter Williams, was overcome with joy, declaring that the $1,000 will go directly towards getting her children ready for back to school. Baynes said her family is at the moment financially strained, since her common-law husband had lost his job and recently started a new job in Canouan.

Meanwhile, Digicel’s public relations executive Jamisha Wright, in presenting the cheques to the winners, congratulated them and explained that Digicel this summer has given Vincentians access to over 80,000 dollars in cash and prizes.

Wright added that Digicel continues to demonstrate in so many ways that it is the network of the people and explained that now summer is over, Digicel is focused on ensuring that the nation’s youth are all set for back to school.
