All seven monthly finalists of the ‘Be a Changi Millionaire’ Draw in 2011 have been drawn, with the last finalist being a 38-year-old Singaporean. On 12 February, they will gather together at Changi Airport for a final showdown, which will see the luckiest among them walking away with a million-dollar in cash fortune.
The lucky Singaporean picked as the finalist for November 2011, the last month of the promotion, is Mr Lim Sua Chwee. Mr Lim was ecstatic when he was notified of the win, and could not believe his luck. “It feels like I am just a step away from striking the lottery. It’s superb and dream-like!” said Mr Lim, who works as a driver.
Being a liquor collector, Mr Lim enjoys purchasing quality liquor items to add to his collection whenever he travels. A holiday to Hong Kong in November was no exception. He spent over S$200 at the Liquor & Tobacco store at Terminal 2 on items including a bottle of Martini Dry Liquor and Martell Cordon Bleu Cognac. Should Mr Lim win the grand prize, he plans to share the fortune with his family, donate a portion to charity and seek professional advice on how to manage the rest wisely.
Besides coming to the airport when he is travelling, Mr Lim is also a frequent visitor of Changi Airport’s public areas. The father of three comes to the airport with his family to shop and dine, as well as stock up on groceries. Describing Changi Airport as a destination which provides a world-class retail environment, he said “It feels very warm and comfortable whenever I step into the retail stores at Changi, and there is an unexpectedly wide variety of retail options available here.”
For the month of November 2011, four lucky shoppers were also picked as the weekly winners of S$1,000 each. Winning purchases ranged from S$80 to over S$1,500 worth of perfumes and cosmetics, as well as duty free products.
Grand Draw in February 2012
The drawing of the last finalist for the month of November wrapped up the 30-week long ‘Be a Changi Millionaire’ campaign in 2011, which was part of Changi Airport’s 30th anniversary celebrations. The Draw, which kicked off in May 2011, was the second run of the popular shopping promotion which made its debut in 2010.
On 12 February, the seven monthly finalists will vie for the grand prize of a million dollars in cash in an exciting Grand Draw, which will see one of them being crowned the Changi Millionaire. Apart from the chance to win S$1 million, the monthly finalists (other than the grand winner) will get S$5,000 in cash each, plus a three day/ two night stay in a luxury hotel in Singapore, with airfare provided for non-Singapore residents. Including Mr Lim, three out of the seven finalists of the Grand Draw are Singaporeans. The remaining four finalists are Filipino, Thai, Australian and Dutch.
