Gimme Five’s 2014 Grand Prize Winner

Throughout last week, Channel Five celebrated its twenty-second anniversary with the annual Gimme Five Giveaway Show. Thousands of Belizeans from across the country participated and many walked away with fabulous prizes. The week climaxed on Friday with the annual Christmas Spectacular where the grand prize was won by the Lord family, who had a lucky night. Having won five hundred dollars in cash in an earlier challenge, they went on to win the top prize as they sat in the audience and answered Gimme Five. Today, the family of four dropped by to pick up their prize.
