Three individuals have emerged as the winners of the October 2024 Sol Tuna promotion monthly draw.
The draw took place successfully at ITA Hardware, located next to the Low-priced Enterprise building at Point Cruz in Honiara, earlier this week.
The prizes awarded in the October draw included a brand-new MITSUKI motorbike, a new portable generator, and a STILL FS 55C Brush cutter.
The selection of winners was conducted by random individuals from the audience present at the event, who drew Tuna Labels containing the names and contact information of the lucky recipients.
The winners of the Sol Tuna draw, announced yesterday afternoon, were not present at the venue but are expected to collect their prizes within the week. The winners are Mr Warren Sade, who claimed the first prize of a new motorbike; Ms Winney Upu, who won the generator; and Mr Wilfred Rove, who received the grass-cutter.
Paul Sikwa’ae, the Sales and Marketing Officer of Sol Tuna Ltd, told Island Sun that the monthly draw commenced in August of this year and will conclude in December.
He clarified that this initiative is part of Sol Tuna’s premium promotional activities.
“To enter the draw, simply purchase any Tuna product, remove its label, and write your name and phone number. It is quite straightforward. Similar draws will be conducted in November and December. The promotion is designed to give back to the community,” said Sikwa’ae.
He said that Sol Tuna aims to ensure transparency in their operations, allowing the public to witness the process.
“We want participants, especially those who receive prizes, to have confidence in the draw. They should see the process and receive their winnings in person,” he added.
Sikwa’ae also provided information regarding the label collection process, stating, “After collecting all the labels, we sort them. During this process, we disqualify any dirty labels, such as those stained with oil or recovered from bins. Labels must be clean, meaning they should be purchased from the store and disposed of in designated boxes.”
He said that approximately 30,200 labels were sorted for the October draw.
“The number could have been higher, but some were disqualified due to the criteria I have mentioned.” Said Sikwa’ae. “The grand draw for the monthly promotion in 2024 is scheduled for January 2025, featuring a Mega cash prize of $100,000. The distribution of prizes will be as follows: 1st place will receive $50,000, 2nd place will receive $30,000, and 3rd place will receive $20,000,” Sikwa’ae said.
