When you head out for a night of good vibes with your friends, you expect great conversations, plenty of laughter, and maybe a few photos for the Gram.
What you probably don’t expect is to walk away with the chance to win a brand-new car!That was the unexpected turn Queen Thompson’s evening took when she became the grand prize winner of the recently concluded 10-week Guinness ‘Open For More’ promo.It started as a regular night out in Akwa Ibom.
Queen and her friends had gone to one of their favourite spots to unwind, catch up and enjoy some chilled drinks. Among the bottles on the table was Guinness Foreign Extra Stout. At some point during the evening, Queen noticed the promo code beneath her bottle cap, brought out her phone, and entered it. Nothing elaborate, just a quick entry while enjoying the night.
Little did she know that one simple entry would put her in the running for a brand-new Toyota Land Cruiser Prado worth ₦150 million!A few weeks later, Queen received a phone call from an official Guinness representative with news that would have anyone asking, “Wait, what?! Is this for real?” She had won the grand prize!But excitement wasn’t her first reaction.
Having been defrauded twice earlier in the year, Queen was understandably cautious and initially wondered if the call was another scam. It took the official prize presentation for the news to fully sink in.At the handover ceremony at Guinness Nigeria’s headquarters in Ogba, Lagos, Queen’s win became official in the most memorable way.
Girish Sharma, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Guinness Nigeria Plc, personally presented her with the keys to her brand-new Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, as company executives, brand representatives, fellow prize winners and well-wishers gathered to celebrate the moment.
