Selina Walegusu from Tamavua has become the delighted new owner of a lavish 5-seater 1.5L CRV Sport AWD Premium Honda, valued at $110,000. This remarkable prize was awarded as part of the Season of Joy promotions organized by Carpenters Finance Fiji Pte Ltd, FMF Foods Limited, MH, MaxVal-u, and MH Homemaker, held at the Carpenters Motors Nissan showroom in Walu Bay, Suva.
Walegusu’s moment of triumph was unexpected; she learned of her win through a phone call from her daughter in Levuka. Initially skeptical, she rushed to share the news with her husband, exclaiming, “I had to look at it twice because I couldn’t believe what I was looking at.” Expressing her thankfulness, she attributed her good luck to her faith, sharing that she felt compelled to participate after encountering the promotion.
Her enthusiasm was evident as she reflected on the overwhelming experience of standing before her new vehicle. “I ended up being scared to even drive or look at the car,” she said, marking this occasion as a unique blessing in her life.
Kunaseelan Sabaratnam, Carpenters Finance’s director of retail and marketing, spoke on the promotion’s success, which ran for three months, from October last year to February this year, and collected around 23 million transaction entries. “Today, the winner, Ms. Selina, is very lucky to be picked as winner compared to the millions of other entries we received,” he stated.
With a total prize value of $155,000, the Honda itself was valued at $110,000, with an additional $45,000 in goods distributed by partners during the promotion. These events not only reward fortunate individuals but also encourage community participation, reinforcing connections through local businesses.
Promotions such as these are a testament to the joy and opportunities stemming from community engagement, fostering hope and unity among participants. Walegusu’s heartfelt experience illustrates how such events can lead to significant and joyful changes in the lives of individuals and their families.
