Today, Smart announced the winner of their latest big raffle – a trip for two to New York with spending money and all the bells and whistles included. By any definition that’s a prize worth winning, and today Anthony Rancharan from Pomona Valley was all smiles as he went to collect his prize. Ian Courtenay is the PR point man for Smart, which is just coming off its World Cup Raffle.

“In July we launched the raffle which is a raffle for two to New York City which includes a one thousand five hundred dollars spending cash, a helicopter tour of the city as well as New York style entertainment. So depending on when the winner decides to go, some Broadway tickets, probably a sporting event or two that they may wish to see.”
