SEA COWS BAY, Tortola, VI – A young Attorney-at-Law, Mr Daniel F. Davies has walked away the winner in The Boys Service Station & Marketplace Christmas raffle, winning himself a brand-new Nissan SUV as part of the grand promotion.

The vehicle, co-sponsored by Burke’s Garage, is a new 2020 Nissan Kicks featuring automatic drive and leather seats, with more advance features such as good fuel economy and several connectivity options.

The competition was launched in July 2020 and according to co-owner of the gas station, Mr Rodney A. Simmons during the launch ceremony, the promotion was created in an effort to give back to the Virgin Islands community facing stress as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

To enter the competition, persons had to purchase $20 worth of gas to qualify for a raffle ticket which would allow one chance at entry.

Alternatively, persons who were not drivers could qualify to enter by purchasing $50 worth of groceries at the gas station supermarket.

      @vex ask God why is that so? He probably tell you that you for one doesn’t deserve it & just maybe just maybe his parents money ain’t his money and you just might have more money than him! Ps don’t take that attitude Into 2021 for your own sake!!

      You stupid people always prattling gibberish. No wonder the more you covet what you see others with the more you get, in other words not all that glitters is gold, you envy what little others actually have and that youGet-little, very little in life.
      Such a pity that BVI is filled with people who always think others have what they don’t and that the grass is greener for others and not them.
      Congrats mr Davies

    BVI is RAPIDLY becoming known for being the most hatting and racist place in the world. Just watch what the future is going to hold with this type of attitude. It is all over folks.

      Some people look at others and jealous them for everything. They feel if is not them it should not be anybody else. It is a shame. They hate you if you if you born in the VI, they hate you if you have a house, they hate you if you have a car. They just hateful. The price of progress. The days when we use to love each other in the VI are gone.

      @salt mehson. That is evidence the church is a fraud yet you still continue to do the same thing over and over and expecting change.

        @ Salt meson...Your username shows how you spoke negative over yourself. No different that those on social media with that dead skull symbol and asinine phrases referring to dying and killing themselves.

        To both of your comments ....We are the church. The building is a fixture where people may go to worship. Almighty God lives within us and we do not pray to a building.

        Luke 12:15 And He said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

        The Bible gives conditions for answered prayer. Ignoring them brings delay and silence. Here are some of the factors that help or hinder prayers being answered. Prayerfully consider your life and your prayers in the light of these factors.

        1. We don’t ask. (Matt. 7:7,8)

        2. We haven't asked in faith. (Mark 11:24)

        3. We are not looking for God’s answer. (Acts 12:13-15)

        4. We are not asking in Jesus' name. (John 14:13,14; 16:23,24)

        5. We haven’t fully surrendered our lives to God. (Mal. 1:14; Rev. 3:20)

        6. We are asking for things outside of His will. (1 John 5:14,15)

        7. God is waiting for us to accept a greater answer. (1 Sam. 1:9-12)

        8. His answer is being delivered in a “rough packing case.” (Gen. 45:3-8; Daniel 3:13-15)

        9. We are disobeying God. (1 John 3:22; Ex. 20:8-11; Mal. 3:7-10; Mal. 2:14,15)

        10. We must FULLY obey before the answer comes. (1 Kings 18:44; 2 Kings 5:14)

        11. We limit God by our half-hearted obedience. (2 Kings 13:18,19)

        12. We limit God by our half-hearted prayers. (Dan. 9:3; Matt. 17:21)

        13. We are cherishing something that is outside of God’s will. (Isa. 59:1,2)

        14. We are forgetting to first “go, then come” so far as forgiveness goes. (Matt. 5:23,24)

        15. We are lagging behind God’s directing of our lives. (Luke 9:23; Ps. 119:105)

        16. We are seeking a supernatural remedy when a natural remedy—granted a remedy requiring dying to self—is available. (2 Kings 20:7)

        17. He is unable to answer at this time (Daniel 10:12-14)

        18. It is better that things stay the same (2 Cor. 12:7)

        19. The “Prayer Warriors” you are praying with are not in relationship with God and therefore not obtaining answers to prayer. (Mark 9:18)

    i thought how this thing guh, everybody who participated had an equal chance of winning, or maybe more chances if they patronized the business more often? ain't suh it guh? if persons are suggesting that the rich are getting richer...which I don't see it that way in this particular case...then maybe a suggestion should be made to Mr. Simmonds or Mr. Aaron that only poor people should participate with full proof that they are needy? let's see how that works out. smh. the audacity of some people. while we let that sink in, let's wish Mr. Davies the best and congratulate instead of hate.
