Selina Walegusu from Tamavua has become the proud new owner of a luxurious 5-seater 1.5L CRV Sport AWD Premium Honda, valued at $110,000. This exceptional 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, at the Carpenters Motors Nissan showroom in Walu Bay, Suva.
The moment of her victory came as a surprise; Walegusu recounted how she was informed of her win by her daughter, who called her from Levuka. Initially, she did not believe the news and immediately rushed to share it with her husband. “I had to look at it twice because I couldn’t believe what I was looking at,” she shared. Expressing her gratitude, Walegusu attributed her good fortune to faith, stating that she felt compelled to participate in the promotion after seeing it and decided to give it a try.
Walegusu’s excitement was palpable as she described the overwhelming sensation of standing in front of the new car. “I ended up being scared to even drive or look at the car,” she exclaimed, marking this moment as a unique blessing in her life.
Kunaseelan Sabaratnam, Carpenters Finance’s director of retail and marketing, noted the promotion’s success, highlighting that it ran for three months, from October last year to February this year, attracting approximately 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 said.
With a total prize value of $155,000, the vehicle itself stood out at $110,000, complemented by $45,000 in goods given away by partners during the promotion. This event not only rewards lucky individuals but also fosters a sense of community involvement by encouraging participation in local businesses.
Promotions like these serve as a reminder of the joy and opportunities that can come from community engagement, fostering hope and connection among its members. As demonstrated by Walegusu’s heartfelt experience, such events can lead to significant blessings in the lives of participants and their families.
