Miss Alma Salvaloza Tamayo, a Filipino and permanent resident, residing in Brunei Darussalam, won the Grand Draw, a semi-detach house at Kilanas, during the 4th Series of its Second Lucky Draw Campaign by Sentral Shopping Centre

The top 15 winners of the lucky prize

Sentral Shopping Centre (also known as KB Sentral by many) has just completed the 4th Series of its Second Lucky Draw Campaign on Sunday, 9th July 2017 by 4pm yesterday. It was efficient and smooth considering the estimated 1,800 short-listed coupon holders that showed up yesterday. Sentral Shopping Centre was filled with a huge crowd of hopeful winners. The prizes range from household appliances to meal voucher to even a huge indo mee hamper to a one night stay at Garden Sentral Hotel as well as semi-detach house as the grand prize.

The Guest of Honor for the Grand Lucky Draw was both the Vice President of Federation of Brunei Malay Entrepreneurs (PPPMB) Yang Mulia Dr Haji Jumat bin Haji Idris and, Yang Mulia Mr K Salim BA Karim (Salimo), President of the Indian Association Belait. A total of 15 prizes were given away yesterday including four prizes for quiz questions opened to the floor. The event commenced with a welcoming speech by their General Manager, Abby Lim. Soon after, KBSentral Marketing and Event Manager Ahmad Anwar Hj Rosly, proceeded to draw the first batch of winners. It was then followed by Abby Lim to draw another set of winners. Mr Salim drew another set of lucky winners. In between the draws, quiz questions were asked to the audience and the prizes to these quiz questions were sponsored by tenants under KBSentral Shopping Centre.

The Guest of Honour then proceeded to draw the top set of lucky winners including the grand prize. The third place winner went to Miss Chai Lee Ping and the winner have won a brand new LG Refrigerator and the second place winner went to Miss Nurul Eda Abdullah who won a brand new 32” LG LED TV. The Grand Prize Winner of Sentral Shopping Centre Grand Lucky Draw, the fourth series, and proud owner of a new semi-detached bungalow was Miss Alma Salvaloza Tamayo.

It was no surprised that no coupons were burnt or how we called it “hangus” when one doesn’t show up. However, it wasn’t a 100% success rate as the grand prize hit an anti-climax as the supposedly grand winner Hazizah didn’t showed up after her name was called three times. Hence the second announcement was made and lucky grand winner Alma Salvaloza Tamayo was surprised that her name was called out. Living in Panaga, she was over the moon that she won a place to stay as she was searching for a house in Brunei.

Prior to the lucky draw, the coupon holders were reminded to be present at the Grand Lucky Draw presentation, along with their Identity Cards (IC) as proof of identity and their Lucky Draw coupons. Representatives were allowed, but they must bring along their own ICs, as well as the photocopy IC of the winner along with the original coupon.
