Boy from Belmopan wins “Gimme 5”
When the last phone call was made from this studio on Friday night there were thousand of disappointed viewers all over the country. But members of one household at mile forty-seven on the Western Highway were shaking their heads in disbelief. They had just won a ticket on American Airlines and five hundred dollars cash. Michael Ical, whose name was on the coupon, and his father Asterio, who answered the phone, visited our offices this morning to claim their prizes.

“Congratulations. Ladies and gentlemen, the grand prize winner, call Stephen on the phone and tell him to get ready to go to Belmopan because our winner is all the way from Belmopan. Is this Michael Ical?”
Asterio Ical, Michael’s Father
“No, I’m his dad.”
Michael Ical, Gimme 5, Winner
“I’m gonna give the plane ticket to my brother and I’m gonna split the money with my father.”
Asterio Ical
“We have been watching for the whole week, and afterwards everybody went back to sleep and left me alone, so I was kinda surprise when the phone starts ringing. I thought nobody was there, so I decided to try it and see if it was Gimme 5. I was kinda surprise and excited at the same time.”
The Icals voiced a special thanks to American Airlines, Channel 5, and all those sponsors who made their good fortune possible.
