Jeanette H. Borja, a Garapan resident, said she purchased three 12-packs and submitted three entries in addition to the first entry that she put in earlier. The week after Thanksgiving, while onboard a plane from Tinian, Borja said she received a call from Coca-Cola informing her that she won a $100 Shell Gas Certificate.
“I was talking quietly on the phone and I couldn’t hear very well because of the noise on the plane, but my prize did register. I was so happy because this is the first time I’ve ever won a lottery,” Borja said.
Annie T. Pickelsimer said she had been shopping for her father’s 19th anniversary when she got a call from Coca-Cola letting her know that she won a McDonald’s Arch Card. This is Pickelsimer’s first time to win. She entered three coupons–all from her Thanksgiving purchases.
Like his fellow winners, Tony Yarobwemal of Koblerville said this is his first time to win. The winner of a McDonald’s Arch Card was in a place of worship when the call informing him of his winning came. “I was in church when I got the call letting me know that I won. I had only the one entry and it made me a winner– for the first time!” Yarobwemal said.
The other winning entries include those of Ferdinand P. Dela Torre and Mariano P. Bermudez, Subway Gift Card winners; Zeny Borja and John Gonzales, Regal Cinemas Theater Cards; Deanna Quintos, $100 Shell Gas Certificate; and Marcy Dafrow, $250 J.C. Tenorio Enterprises Shopping Certificate.
Coca-Cola will hold the second drawing today, Dec. 19, at Joeten Hafa Adai Shopping Center in Garapan from 5pm to 7pm. Nine winners will be pulled and 25 instant prizes will be given away. Everyone is invited to come.
