Algericko Hanna, has emerged as the Grand Prize Winner in the Wendy's, Coca Cola & Going Places Travel, "Livin' Large" 10K Trip Promotion! The exciting Summer Promotion offered Wendy’s customers the chance to win one of three exclusive trips by upgrading their combos to a Large and entering the contest for a 7-day trip for 4 to Atlanta, a 6-day trip for 4 to Orlando, or a 6-day trip for 2 to Paris, France. Each trip included round trip airfare, hotel stay, and a deluxe entertainment package infused with fun, culture, and adventure.

Algericko, who celebrates his birthday on Aug. 24th plans to be in Atlanta on his big day. The lucky construction worker says that part of the built in $3,500 spending cash provided courtesy of Cash N’ Go will be used to get his kids ready for back to school and to pay some bills, but he says the remainder will be spent in Atlanta where he intends to make this birthday "the best one yet." As a first time visitor, he plans to take in everything the bustling city has to offer, and to reconnect with a high school buddy who happens to live there.

Algericko says he feels blessed to have come out on top from among the other six finalists. He explained, that he entered "quite randomly" after a cashier at Wendy’s Cable Beach location asked him to Upgrade his Double Combo to a LARGE. Although his co-worker declined, Algericko took a chance, and it certainly paid off at the Grand Finale.

The promotion came to a momentous end last Friday at Radio House. Promotion organizers staged a "Radio House Takeover," dominating the airwaves on 100 Jamz and Kiss FM from 2 to 6PM. Customers presenting Wendy's receipts during this time were able to enjoy the event’s fun and festivities, including, giveaways from promotion sponsors, delicious product sampling by Marco's Pizza and Coca Cola, and guest celebrity appearances by top Bahamian artists including, Julien Believe, Sammy Star, M'Deez, D-Mac and Dyson Knight.

Making an exciting last minute 'slam dunk' into the contest, was the 100 Jamz "fast-tracked finalist," Kristofa Heastie. Kristofa, who works within walking distance of the station was able to submit his upgraded receipt earlier in the day and rush in just before the 5:45PM entry deadline.

In the order of their arrival, each finalist spun the "Livin' Large Spin Wheel" to get a promotional “Livin’ Large” passport imprinted with a number. Then, in front of a jam-packed foyer, filled with onlookers and a lineup of hopeful finalists, popular 100 Jamz radio host JJ spun the wheel. After four “try again” spins, the wheel finally landed on Algericko’s lucky number, and the crowd erupted into cheers.

Each of the six "Livin' Large" runners up; Kristofa Heastie, Rameko Brown, Delphine Smith, Darren Sawyer, Dana Evans, and Viko Johnson from Freeport received $250 cash and a promotional gift bag with prizes from Wendy's, Coca Cola, Going Places Travel, and Cash N' Go. Hotel accommodations for the Freeport finalist were graciously provided by The British Colonial Hilton.

The second Wendy’s & Coca Cola “Upgrade Me Promotion” of 2015 slated for Christmas promises to be even more exciting. Marketing Manager’s from both brands agree that with each evolution of the promotion, they will continue to reward loyal customers with opportunities to win superior prizes while creating meaningful and enjoyable “customer experiences.”
