POND ISLAND–TelEm’s Lucky Wacky Telco Friday door prize winner Howard Chiu, was caught by surprise when he was informed that he was taking home the top prize for the day in TelEm Group’s Wacky Friday sale on November 23.
The restaurant owner and inshore fisherman turned out at TelEm Group’s main building to join in the fun and to scoop up any of the main deals going but kept a low profile because he wasn’t dressed in any Wacky costume like some of the visitors entering the building before him.
After a five-minute wait, Chiu entered the building and his purchase for the day made him a lucky main prize participant and then a main prize winner.
The surprise came when TelEm Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Kendall Dupersoy asked Chiu to read out the list of features the winner of the Smart Home Prize would be getting. He dutifully did so for the benefit of all those gathered for the prize-giving ceremony, only to be told by Dupersoy that he was actually reading out the features of his own prize, it was stated in a press release on Thursday.
Chiu was just floored by the revelation that he was in fact the winner of the door prize of a Smart Home System by Smart Concepts 721 valued at US $2,000, TelEm Marketing Manager Grisha Heyliger-Marten said.
The system allows the user to connect to a home from anywhere in the world allowing control of lights, cameras, televisions, fans, air-conditioners, locks, various electronic devices including tables and smartphones and Smart TVs.
He says the prize will make his life a whole lot easier and, in the end, will save him money because of the many features that can help him monitor and manage his home appliance and devices from any one of his three Smartphones and also online.
During the Wacky Telco Friday sale, Chiu purchased a CAT waterproof phone to take on the daily fishing trips he organizes for visitors to the island.
