Office clerk wins sweepstakes

It’s not the kind of thing that usually happens to an office clerk on the first work day of the week but Judy Perez of Caribbean Tyre Wholesale in Belize City welcomed it anyway. When the telephone rang this morning, it was to bring her news that she was the recipient of “mucho dinero” as she is the first winner in the Courts Belize-Serious Cash Two Promotion. Perez showed up at the department store in Belize City this morning to pick up her five thousand dollar cheque.

“Early this morning at work, Silvana called me and ask me if I knew that I won five thousand dollars and I said no, you are kidding, and she said yes you did and I started screaming on the phone, so that was the way I found out.”

Mike Worthington, Dep. Managing Director, Courts Belize Ltd.

“The promotion is an extension to last year’s promotion. In other words it?s serious cash. The difference this year is that we are having more draws. We are having seven draws as oppose to four draws so in effect we are giving away more money. So more people get the chance of winning.”

With her winning, Perez says she plans to pay some bills and treat her one year old son to an early Easter gift. Meanwhile Worthington reminds the public that they have six more chances to win. The next draw is scheduled for May at the Courts branch in Belmopan.
