Winner Claims Her Gimme 5 Grand Prize!
Thousands of households were tuned in last week, as we celebrated our thirtieth anniversary as a television station via our annual giveaway show, Gimme Five. The final night was a blast as William Neal and I were joined by C.E.O. Marleni Cuellar, who picked the coupon for the grand prize winner. Despite answering the phone call with “Gimme Five!” Elise Craig, a resident of Belama Phase Two in Belize City was in utter disbelief. She even thought she was being pranked by her coworkers. Today, she came to our studios on Coney Drive and the reality finally set in – with only forty tickets, she was this year’s grand prize winner of cash, staycation at Naia Resort, Frontier flight opportunity and so much more.

“I was totally shocked. I didn’t believe honestly because I work with a bunch of pranksters and it’s something they totally would do to me. But just in case, I still said cautiously Gimme Five and that…”

“I didn’t remember what all – people kept asking me what all did you win, but honestly I couldn’t remember. I remembered a few things, but I could remember the long, long, long list of things.”
Duane Moody
“What are you most excited about, in terms of the prizes?”
Elise Craig
“I’d really have to go through all of them. The TV, Naia….I can’t wait to just go take that…”
Duane Moody
“You have to share right?”
Elise Craig
“Yes I will. I will share. I will definitely share. I definitely have to share with my friend Javees who actually encouraged me to submit my tickets and Cliff who brought them here and mi lee gentleman. I have to share with mi gentleman who, by the way, kept telling me cause every night I would look at my phone and it’s not ringing, it’s not ringing and he said “Don’t worry babe, it will ring on the last night on the last call.” So he called it.”
Duane Moody
“So interesting because we’ve always been saying, it only takes one. How many tickets you had in there and really justifiably so?”
Elise Craig
“I only had forty tickets in there and it is the first time I have ever, ever won Gimme Five. In all the years that I’ve played it is the first time. So my first time and I won the big prize.”
