Cheers, Heineken for One Year. <\/em><\/p>\n

Those are the words read by three lucky winners as they unsealed to reveal the message under their bottle caps in Heineken\u2019s \u2018The Voyage\u2019 promotion. The winners – Sean St. Louis, Shavargo Forbes and Julian Seymour – stepped forward to claim a year\u2019s supply of free beer compliments of Heineken.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was the lucky one,\u201d said St. Louis, who was socializing with friends and family when he discovered he was a winner. “I couldn\u2019t believe it when I read it. I had to rest the cap down, take a sip of my Heineken and look again just to ensure that I wasn\u2019t imagining it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Julian Seymour discovered his good fortune while enjoying a cold Heineken with a friend. \u201cI looked under the cap not really expecting to win anything and, to my surprise, I saw, ‘Cheers, Heineken For One Year’. I immediately started thinking about what a good year this would be!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnything can happen and this competition is proof,\u201d said Forbes, excited about his winnings. Asked how he planned to consume 52 cases of Heineken in as many weeks, he responded: \u201cI\u2019ll find a way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018The Voyage\u2019 under-the-cap campaign, part of Heineken\u2019s global promotional campaign celebrating the premium brand’s 140th anniversary, will run from June 21 to August 21 and features a number of instant prizes for local participants, including individual Heineken bottles , a $15 Prepaid Card and free Heineken for a year (52 cases).<\/p>\n

The campaign also includes a Grand Prize drawing with the top prize of a five-night trip to space camp in Amsterdam, The Netherlands inclusive of travel and accommodations and a $10,000 Pre-Paid Card and 10 cases of Heineken.\u00a0 Ten mini-prizes will also be drawn with winners receiving a free trip to their choice of Miami, Atlanta or New York with flights, hotel accommodations and car rentals (with the exception of New York). Entrants are required to officially submit six \u201cGrand Prize Draw\u201d bottle caps at any of the weekly mini prize drawing events.\u00a0 The first mini prize drawing events will take place at the Cricket Club grounds in Nassau and at DNR Sports Pub in Abaco on July 19th beginning at 4pm and at Playaz Lounge in Freeport on July 26th where winners of the mini prize will be selected.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very excited,\u201d says Heineken brand manager Janay Pyfrom. \u201cWe\u2019re only three weeks into the promotion and we\u2019ve already had three winners. Heineken is a premium drinking experience and we wanted to offer our drinkers premium prizes that really reflect the Heineken experience. We\u2019re looking forward to a lot more excitement as more and more winners step forward to claim their prizes. We can\u2019t wait to see who the grand prize winner will be.\u201d<\/p>\n
