Nadira Ramsarran age 36 got her morning prayers answered yesterday when she picked the right key that started the engine to the Ashmins $2.5 M Toyota RunX first prize car.



The mother of two was among a lot of twenty whose names were pulled to conclude the two months long competition two Saturdays ago. Yesterday 19 of those persons were on hand for the ‘win this car’ game show staged in the compound of Ashmins and while they all won various prizes the Stanleytown Berbice lady was the most fortunate.



She was among a final five who selected envelopes with car keys. Using a musical chairs format they each had a chance to stick their key in the ignition when show host and Public Relations Officer Mondale Smith stopped the music. Ramsarran could not run around the car like the other competitors because she is recovering from a fractured leg and so ended up being the last to put her key in the ignition with much support from the audience. Though she was the last her wait and suspense was great from the show’s host because he gave her the option of trading her key for another but she held fast to the key she had in hand. After announcing that she was nervous she with trembling hands placed the key in the ignition and at first the car did not start but when she was further prompted to turn the key the cars lights came on and the engine was turned on to thunderous applauses from the audience. She burst into tears and said that this is her first win of anything in a competition



The Splashmin’s ‘Win this Car’ promotion began in November and was specifically geared for retail shoppers who spent $3000 or more during the festive season. Over all more than 25,000 coupons were entered. Closing off the promotion Ashmins Chief Executive Officer Lennox John promised that even more promotions are in train including a ‘Win this house’ promotion’ in the future.



All participants were issued free Gold membership to Splashmins Fun-Park Resort valid for the entire 2010 and valued at $50,000 each.
