(Basseterre, St. Kitts)—“I am very happy. I am speechless.” These were the words of Sheldon Pemberton of Old Road, St. Kitts, who was the proud winner of a BMW 1 series 2007 model, valued at $130,000 E.C.
The drawing took place at the Cable and Wireless Sports Ground, Needsmust, Basseterre, on June 30. There were six finalists for the prize. Pemberton was the holder of key number five that was able to start the car.
On January 20, Cable and Wireless St .Kitts and Nevis Ltd, started the promotion with the BMW being the coveted prize. The drawing was due at the end of March, but it was decided to have it after the St. Kitts Music Festival to give more persons 18 years and older an opportunity to text 9696 to Cable and Wireless to win the BMW.
Mr. Pemberton claimed that he texted 1000 times. One text costs one dollar.
Mrs. Lavern Caines, Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Communications, chaired the proceedings while David Lake, Vice President of Mobile and Consumer Sales assisted with the presentation of gifts. Patricia Walters, Chief Executive of Cable and Wireless was on hand to congratulate the winner.
Mrs. Caines said that Cable and Wireless is always finding ways of giving back to their customers.
Mr. Pemberton, speechless, drove away in a brand new BMW, a welcome change to his old broken down Mitsubishi Gallant.
