Sharlene Lindsay of On the Road to Festival 50 and Hon. Jermaine Wade after
finding out she won a new two-bedroom home in Lookout, Montserrat
|
Ponteen,
who works in the Ministry of Health,
said she had never won anything and so had reluctantly purchased the ticket in
December of 2011. She now owns the two-bedroom house valued at EC$
160,000 overlooking the stunning Margarita
Bay in the North of the island.
Consolation prizes were won by Corine Beven
of Baker
Hill, Elfrida
Greer of Manjack
and Stafford Roberts
of Davy
Hill. All prizes was handed out, including
the keys to the home during the closing of Montserrat's celebration of 50 years
of festival on January 1, 2013.
Honourable
Parliamentary Secretary Jermaine Wade
thanked all who purchased the raffle tickets, the sales people and the radio
stations on Antigua, St. Kitts & Nevis who partnered to promote the event.
The new owner is free to live in it,
sell or lease it without any restrictions.
