-millions of dollars up for grabs
DIGICEL GUYANA on Wednesday night at the Princess Hotel at Providence, East Bank Demerara launched their exciting new game show for the August holidays dubbed ‘Spin ‘N Win.
The mobile communications provider, in keeping with the extravagant prizes usually up for grabs in the summer promotions, will give customers a chance to win up to $50M in cash in the new promo by spinning the Digicel wheel in a grand television game show.
According to Head of Marketing, Jacqueline James, “the mobile communications giant is ecstatic about Spin N’ Win. We never like to disappoint our customers, and so we are always thinking of ways to make our promotions even more exciting as each year passes.
“In summer promotions past, we gave to Guyana ‘Red Hot Summer Scorcher’, where 12 persons won stylish scooters, along with handsets and other great prizes. And in the last year’s summer promotion, ‘Bimmer Flex’, 42 qualifiers won $100,000 in instant cash, while two persons won the stylish BMW 116i. So this year, we will hopefully create many new multi-millionaires.”
In Spin N’ Win, customers will have to collect the letters making up the word J-A-C-K-P-O-T to win $50,000, or a chance to spin the wheel for even more cash or less.
Persons can start collecting their letters by topping up with $500, $1,000 or $2,000 ‘Spin N’ Win’ flex cards, or through the electronic top-up system.
They must then scratch the flex cards to reveal the letters they won. The letters will be automatically stored to the phone if persons top-up electronically. Persons may use letters on the cards, or in their phones, or even combined to spell JACKPOT. In order to keep track of letters received via electronic top-up, persons can text SPIN to 1441.
Spin N’ Win game shows are set for the end of every month, and qualifiers will get a chance to spin the wheel for cash.  The competition is divided into two rounds, and the stakes get higher with each round.
“Apart from the exciting monthly game shows, Digicel will be taking the Spin N’ Win wheel to communities and events across the country so that persons can win fabulous prizes from Guyana’s Bigger, Better Network this summer,” James said.
Persons can start collecting letters in order to qualify for the game.
At the launching of the promotion, five members of the media had their names pulled and were selected to spin the wheel to win cash for several listed charities.
Needless  to say, this little gambit caused quite a stir among their colleagues, who  egged them on as they stepped up to the wheel to try their luck.
