Customers collect winnings from Survival Supermarket
IT was an exciting afternoon, last Friday, when winners of the 2010 Breeze Power Spree Competition ‘shopped ‘til they dropped’ at Survival Supermarket, on Sheriff Street, Georgetown. To enter the now popular and much anticipated Christmas contest, customers were asked to put two empty Breeze packets, together with their name, addresses and telephone numbers, in an envelope and drop it into one of the entry boxes placed in leading supermarkets and COURTS branches countrywide.

Following that, from October to December, six customers were selected to shop, their shopping time being determined by punching a prize board and selecting the number of seconds they were allotted.

On the Friday occasion, the final of the season, the six, from all three counties, shopped for time spans of 15, 20, 25, 30, 60 seconds and, this year, one winner got a chance to double up and did it in a record 90 seconds.

The big winner was  Ms. Shermaine Moriah, of Paradise, West Coast Berbice, who got her 45 seconds multiplied by two and grabbed $168,269 worth of groceries.

In her allocation of 60 seconds, Tania McIntosh, of East Ruimveldt, Georgetown, took groceries to the value of $117,269 and third placed Trudy Agrippa secured $113,185 worth in 30 seconds.

Alberttown resident Charles Adams got $90,253 worth in 15 seconds and Parvitie Singh, from Johanna Cecelia, Essequibo Coast, filled a cart with $73,980 worth in 20 seconds.

Khemraj Deen, of Windsor Forest, West Coast Demerara, in his 25 seconds, snatched $58,980 in value.

Meanwhile, in an unprecedented gesture, the company rewarded media operatives, who were eligible, to sprees of 20 seconds duration and lucky Rashliegh Benjamin, of Guyana News Agency (GNA) won $92,000 worth.

In addition, six names were drawn for ‘power hampers’ which contained a range of Unilever products.
