Last week, the eleven finalists\u2019 names were pulled from three massive tubular drums stuffed with tens of thousands of BTC customer sweepstake entries collected nationwide during December.\u00a0 One drum held the New Providence entries and two drums held the entries from either Grand Bahama or the Family Islands.<\/p>\n
The six finalists names from New Providence pulled from the largest drum are: Jillian Jones, Decker Munnings, Debra Skippings, Loneice Pawar, Gordon Soles and Halcie Hanna.\u00a0 The two names pulled from the Grand Bahama drum are: Evangeline Bethel and Lisa Farrington and the three names from the Family Island drum are: Bethsada Jones and Mary Dean Nairn both from San Salvador and Val Turnquest from Long Island.

Along with tens of thousands of BTC customers the finalists had entered during a month-long promotion by choosing from the many ways to qualify for entry: paying their BTC bill in full, buying any mobile phone from BTC, signing up for a Postpaid plan, HomePhone Plus, or Hi-Speed Internet plan.<\/p>\n
On January 17th, the eleven finalists will be on stage alongside the star attraction, the brand new Ford Explorer, when they each pick a key and one by one attempt to start the engine.\u00a0 Last year, in a similar scenario hundreds of people flocked to the South West Plaza drawn to BTC\u2019s \u2018Let\u2019s Make A Deal\u2019 prize-winning party game night, where the highlight was the selection process to find the winner of the \u2018BTC Knight Rider Car Sweepstakes.\u2019<\/p>\n
In a nail biting finale, the crowd had to wait amid rising excitement until finalist number eight tried her luck before a winner was found. Pelar Sweeting with a roar of her new Ford engine proved she had selected the winning key!\u00a0 Large crowds are again expected for this year\u2019s Grand Finale party night in Pompey Square on January 17th.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis Christmas-time customer appreciation promotion generated by far the largest response we\u2019ve had to any of our promotions to date, too many entries to count, but certainly tens of thousands,\u201d said Sr. Manager of Public Relations Jerome Sawyer.\u00a0 \u201cThe fantastic prize package plus the additional BTC franchise stores nationwide which gave wider access to our products and services, offered far more customers a chance to enter to win.\u201d
