Winner of Coca-Cola promo is a repeater

The invitation that says, “The more you buy, the more chances you have of winning,” often read in promo announcements, could not be more true for Brian P. Reyes.

Reyes, a happy winner of Coca-Cola Beverage Co. (Micronesia), Inc.’s “Golden Ticket Giveaway,” which entitled him to five Hollywood Theater movie passes, had also won three Saipan World Resort Wave Jungle passes in two drawings of CCBM’s “Nestea Summer Splash” promo in July of last year.

A regular patron of Coca-Cola, Reyes who buys products by the case, said he was thankful that CCBM constantly introduces promotions as an incentive for consumers.

“I am a Sprite guy. My family loves Nestea. I never run out of Coca-Cola products in the house,” Reyes said.

Reyes, a businessman, said he bought cases of Coca-Cola products for Father’s Day and for his daughter’s school graduation. “I’ll keep buying Coca-Cola products,” he said.

Reyes was among the five first draw winners of Coca-Cola’s “Golden Ticket Giveaway,” the raffle drawing of which was held on June 28, 2008.

Another winner, Cristina Eugenio, administrative assistant at Pacific Marine and Industrial Corp., said she had promised her 15-year-old daughter that she would give her the five movie passes if she won. Eugenio said she always bought Coca-Cola products in bulk that lasted them for a week.

“Every Saturday, I buy at least half a case for our week’s supply,” she said.

Still another winner was Corazon Beltran, deputy clerk at the CNMI Superior Court’s Clerk of Court who said she would give her prize to her daughter, who turned 16 on July 17, 2008, so she could take her friends to the movies. Beltran said she has always been a Diet Coke person.

The other winners were Menetee Siasoyco and Theodora SN. Decena.

The winners received their prizes on July 1, 2008 at the Coca-Cola office in Chalan Laulau where the drawing was also held. The promo runs from June 7, 2008 to July 31, 2008. To enter, just purchase a 6-can pack or a 1.25-liter bottle of any Coca-Cola product to get one entry form. There will be a total of 15 winners—five in each of the three drawings—with every winner receiving five Hollywood Theater movie passes.

The second draw was held on July 12, 2008; the third is scheduled for July 31, 2008.[B][I] (PR)[/I][/B]
