Beaming from ear to ear, 29-year-old Kayon Barrett was among the first 10 winners in the LIME Win Like an MVP Christmas promotion to collect one of the daily prizes of US$1,000 (J$113,000) at the LIME Corporate Office yesterday.

A senior bank teller and mother of one child, Barrett eagerly informed, "this is the first time mi ever win anything!" Having switched to the LIME network just over a year ago, she says she was at work when she received the valuable call from the telecommunications company.

"I was so ecstatic that I had to go into a vault at the bank to scream and contain my excitement," she laughed.

Trip overseas

When asked what she will be doing with her winnings, Barrett said that the US currency will come in very handy during her next trip overseas. She also plans to upgrade her current LIME phone and treat her two-year-old daughter on her birthday later this month.

"I am very pleased to be a LIME customer because I get more for my money, my credit last longer and my internet package is amazing," she added.

On October 24, LIME launched its Christmas promotion that will see lucky customers winning a share of US$100,000 including a luxury trip to New York City to celebrate New Year's Eve. Each day, two persons will win US$1000 until the promotion ends on December 19. A LIME prepaid mobile top-up of $200 per week or the activation of any LIME 30 Day prepaid mobile data plan is required for entry into the promotion.

Kim Lee, LIME's head of channel marketing and sponsorship, said the company is pleased to be offering additional value to its customers ahead of and during the festive season.
