Winning a new Kia came as a big surprise to Gabriella Evans even though she had good odds -- a one in five chance -- as a finalist in Bahamas Telecommunications Company's (BTC) recent 'Text 2 Win' mobile phone contest. But win she did.

Crowds packed the Mall at Marathon's Center Court to witness the finals last Saturday, and to enjoy the festive atmosphere, music and prize-winning games with Karaoke King Demetrius.

Evans, a resident of New Providence, picked key number four out of the bag, which proved to be the winning Kia key. "I was so surprised. I never thought I would be the winner," said the young mother who until her win, caught the bus to her job at Columbian Emeralds. "I was overwhelmed, speechless and of course I cried.

I thought I was going to pass out. Good thing my sister Nela was with me." The loyal BTC Facebook fan thanked BTC and said that she really appreciated the opportunity to win.

Evans qualified for the draw along with 9,500 others who over a two-week period had for the most part, answered three daily trivia questions correctly.

The names of five finalists were randomly pulled from the qualifying pool of entries. They attended the finals at the mall. Evans, along with Glenda Roberts and Deangelo Greenslade of Grand Bahama, and Jamie Bethel and Vanice Carey from New Providence, each took their turn picking a key from the bag. The correct key opened the new $30,000 Sanpin Kia vehicle.

Each of the finalists also went home with a Samsung S4 LTE. BTC's Senior Manager of Public Relations Jerome Sawyer said more contests are on the way, and urged everyone to visit the BTC Facebook page often for details on daily trivia as well as big promotions.

"We love doing these customer appreciation promotions," Sawyer said, "and the 'Text 2 Win' games always get a good response. "We are thankful to Sanpin Motors for partnering with us on this particular contest.

The Kia is a great brand and the chance to win a Rio model helped boost the response."

To participate in the 'Text 2 Win' contest, BTC customers had to initially text 'CAR' to 5007 and answer a total 25 questions correctly, over a two-week period. Over 140 daily prizes, which included $1,000 in mobile credit, smartphones, gift certificates, phone cards and more, were given away during the promotion, which was open to all BTC customers between April 8 and April 22.
