FOUR lucky Digicel customers were last Sunday rewarded with $1,000 worth of groceries each, as part of Digicel’s Supermarket Sweep promotion.
Massy Stores Gourmet in Rodney Bay was the scene of the highly anticipated and exciting Digicel Supermarket Sweep. Postpaid customer Shem Serieux and prepaid customers Dorrette Jackson, Felix Ford and Andrew Providence were the four lucky Digicel customers who all walked away with trollies stacked with groceries and other essentials.
Since its grand return, the Digicel Supermarket Sweep also known as Top Up, Pay Up and Shop, has increased even more in popularity and momentum among Digicel customers and the St. Lucian populace alike. On Sunday, the Massy Stores Gourmet shoppers and curious onlookers took in the exhilarating experience of the Digicel Supermarket Sweep as winners shopped up a storm.
Prior to sweeping the supermarket shelves, the four lucky winners were all afforded the opportunity to add on additional time, to the initial one minute time limit allocated for shopping. This commenced with an exciting ‘Guess the Right Price’ game through which, those who guessed closest to the price of the display item gained an extra fifteen seconds per item. Moments later, the excitement erupted and filled the air as emcee Massana Morrison queued each participant with ‘Ready, Set, Shop!’ and cheered them on throughout the duration of their supermarket sweep along with family members and Team Digicel.
The lone female winner, Dorrette Jackson spoke excitedly about how she felt having won the opportunity “I’m so grateful to be here today. This will go such a long way, I know it will be some time before I have to face the supermarket. I’m also very happy because I was able to do quite a bit of my Christmas shopping and also obtain essentials for my family. So again I’m very grateful for this opportunity.”
Mr. Felix Ford expressed how empowering the opportunity was and how he intended to use of his winnings; “These groceries will definitely serve me well for the next two months until Christmas but the most exciting part about this for me, is it gives me the opportunity to help an underprivileged family. So a portion of my groceries will go towards assisting a family in my community.”
