Shane Mora, Marketing Director of Digicel Bermuda explains, “The selection process was designed to ensure that all of our customers had equal opportunity to win. Whether Postpaid, Prepaid or an Internet customer, we randomly selected 5 customers from each segment who participated per the terms of the promotion.”

“We invited the 15 finalists to attend a live draw, which took place at the Bermuda Motors’ showroom Friday evening. A coin toss determined the order in which each finalist chose a mystery card and once all cards were distributed, each finalist revealed their prize,” continued Mr Mora.

All winners were quite happy to walk away with prizes valued at approximately $500 apiece. While, the overjoyed grand prize winner, Ebony Sousa says, “On behalf of myself and my family, I’d like to express my deepest gratitude to both Digicel and Bermuda Motors for this unforgettable Christmas Miracle. Words can’t begin to express how appreciative we are, and the phrase ‘Thank you’ somehow doesn’t seem to suffice.”

During the promotion period, Digicel also launched a #BrighterChristmas Facebook App which saw a number of their social media followers nominate those who have made an extraordinary impact on their year.

Three lucky nominees, Glenda Simons, Anne Hyde and Gene-Anne Bean were each recipients of $450 to assist in making theirs a brighter Christmas and a final candidate will be announced on Christmas Eve.

“We are delighted to have brought this exciting offer to our customers this holiday season,” comments Wayne Caines, CEO of Digicel Bermuda. “The campaign was well received and we’d like to take this opportunity to thank Bermuda Motors for partnering with us as well as all of our customers for participating. We wish all of you the happiest of holidays and a wonderful 2014.”
