Brittany Porter drove away in a shiny 2014 Kia Sportage after opening the winning box at KFC's grand prize event that wrapped up its red hot "I Love KFC" summer promotion on Saturday.
The expecting mother was speechless when she realized she had opened the winning box that held the grand prize envelope. Porter, 22, was one of 10 Red Ticket holders randomly chosen by the KFC Prize Patrol during the popular promotion and invited to the grand prize event to open one of 10 boxes, each containing an exciting prize.
"I feel so excited. It feels like a dream," said a tearful Porter, surrounded by overjoyed family members and friends at the grand prize event held at KFC's Marathon Road location.
Porter, who is due to have her baby in November, said she received her winning sticker from KFC's Prince Charles Drive location.
The grand prize event, which featured fun for the whole family, culminated with the grand prize drawing, which drew a crowd of supporters and curious onlookers. The excitement was palpable as the 10 ticket holders selected their keys, placed them in front of their chosen boxes and waited for the instructions to open the lock. Only one of the boxes held the grand prize, but the remaining ticket holders did not leave empty handed.
Michelle Bowleg won an Apple iPod Nano; Levette Burrows won a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3; Angelique Roker won a 42" flat screen TV; Erica Humes won a Fitbit Flex; Quincy Lockhart won a 32" flat screen TV; Margo Mackey won a Samsung Galaxy S4; Judith McPhee won an iPad Mini; Orlando Rolle won a Toshiba laptop and Kissie Swaby won an HP All-in-One Desktop PC.
The grand prize, the 2014 Kia Sportage, was purchased by KFC from Sanpin Motors for the promotion.
The KFC Prize Patrol team had been cruising the streets of Nassau since July, rewarding hundreds of customers who showed their love for KFC by displaying "I Love KFC" stickers on their vehicles. Customers received the tickets after purchasing any Classic Combo, Mega Deal or Sandwich Combo at any of KFC Nassau's eight convenient locations. Customers spotted by the Prize Patrol were given the chance to randomly select an envelope that revealed either an instant-win prize or one of the 10 lucky Red Tickets.
"The promotion was extremely successful and it was such an amazing way to cap it all off," said Ash Henderson, director of marketing, Restaurants Bahamas. "We love showing our customers how much we appreciate them, and obviously the feeling is mutual."
