Prasad And Ravindra Excited, Did Not Expect To Win Valentine’s Day Promotion

Nalini Prasad and Rajnesh Ravindra scooped the two top prizes of the 2018 Valen­tine’s Day promotion.

The event was run in conjunction with the Fiji Sun and Tappoo in partnership with other sponsors.

Mrs Prasad, 45, of Lautoka, has been married for the last 25 years, and was happy to be one of the two couples who won the Spa treatment prize sponsored by Tappoo.

She said, “I am overwhelmed to win this prize because I did not expect it. I thank Fiji Sun and Tap­poo for organising this event. I am happy but did not expect this.”

She has participated in similar competitions before including the Fiji brain teaser competition and won free talk time.

“I have participated in the compe­tition eight times after I saw it on Facebook. I do read the Fiji Sun on a daily basis,” Mrs Prasad said.

Mr Ravindra of Laucala Beach Es­tate in Nasinu shared similar senti­ments.

Dipika Darshana Ram, 24 of Rarawai in Ba was the winner of Novo $100 shopping voucher.

The Fiji National University stu­dent said, “I came to know about this promotion on Facebook so I de­cided to text and try my luck.

“I tried a couple of times, but I didn’t think I would win, this time I was lucky enough I did.

“I have always loved reading news on the Fiji Sun Online because it has always had the latest news which is more detailed.

“Saturday is my birthday so this is an early birthday present for me. This was the first time for me to win something like this.”

Sharifa Shah of Lautoka, 48, was the winner of the $100 shopping voucher for Passion for Fashion.

“I saw the advertisement on Face­book so I texted once. This was my first attempt at something like this and I won,” she said.

“I am very happy and excited, who knew that reading the paper every­day would help me win a $100 shop­ping voucher.”

Fiji Sun’s General Manager Ad­vertising and Business Develop­ment Rachna Lal said: “Fiji Sun was very excited to have partnered with Tappoo Group for our Valen­tine’s Day promotion.

“We thank everyone for their participation. This was a short promotion which we ran only for two weeks but the response was tremendous. This is indicative of the readership and our following as well.

“We congratulate all the seven winners - some of whom had texted in their answer more than once. It is indeed very encouraging to see such responses to our promotions.

“We assure our readers that we will continue to give away prizes and reward our readers,” she said.
