$8,000 jackpot shared by two

Two men won the jackpot cash prize in The New Paper's Bonus Challenge draw last night.

The prize - a whopping $8,000 - was split equally between them.

Mr Hazakela, 61, was in for a happy surprise yesterday when he found out that he won $4,000.

The loyal TNP reader, who works as a cleaner, collected his prize money together with his friend, Mr Abdul Samad, 47.

Said Mr Samad, a retail assistant: "If he had won less money, he would have treated me to murtabak. But now that he has won more, I'll ask him for a bigger treat."

FIRST WIN

It is Mr Hazakela's first time winning a TNP lucky draw.

"I participated in the TNP lucky draws many times but I didn't expect to win," he said.

The other $4,000 winner, Mr Choo Chee Chye, 37, said he intends to spend the cash on a holiday abroad.

The taxi driver, who was accompanied by a friend when he collected his prize, said he would treat his friend to a big meal and save up some of his prize money.

On top of the jackpot, there were two $100 cash prize winners - Madam Rahamah Mohammed Idros, 47, and Mr Abdul Rahim Dawood , 67.

Madam Juliet Png Guat Hwee also walked away with an Airwheel S3 prize yesterday.

Today's grand prize will be a $1,000 cash. If uncollected, the amount will snowball each day.

HOW TO PLAY

To play, simply buy TNP each Monday to receive a Bonus Challenge card.

Match the numbers on the card with the six digits in each issue of TNP from Tuesday to Sunday.

If a vertical row is matched (from top to bottom), players should head down to the lobby of Singapore Press Holdings News Centre in Toa Payoh North to claim their prize by answering a simple question.

Prizes must be collected on the same day from 8pm to 9pm. The jackpot prize will snowball the next day if it remains unclaimed by 9pm.

Other prizes up for grabs include an Airwheel S3 electric scooter and an Airwheel Q5 electric unicycle.
