ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – The frustrating days of standing on the road corner waiting for some kind hearted person to give her a ride or having to catch a bus is suddenly over for Ms Ackisha R. Chiddick who is now the ecstatic owner of a brand new Suzuki vehicle.

The BVI Ports Authority employee and resident of Long Look stuck key number 7 into the mini vault that had the original key for the brand new Suzuki and literally fell to the ground when it opened.

The grand drawing for the Suzuki took place earlier this evening, August 22, 2013 at the Digicel flagship store on Waterfront Drive, Tortola.

It took quite some time for the emotional woman to partly compose herself to speak to the media. With tears still flowing down her cheeks, she said "Thank you father, it was mine all along." Regarding herself as a die-hard Digicel customer and fan, Ms Chiddick said she felt no one deserved the win more than her as she has been struggling with the challenges of not having her own transportation.

"I wanted it so so bad, I live all the way at Long Look and would have to catch the bus every day to get to work or where ever I have to go," she said Digicel can consider her one of their most committed supporters as she would make daily positive Facebook comments very often to promote the company and would also call in on the Morning Ride show where she always had something positive to say.

Ms Chiddick said she is not currently the holder of a driver's license but will be heading to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) first thing tomorrow morning to start that process.

Digicel's Commercial Manager, Su Thomas described this year’s summer promotion as one of their largest and was very excited and pleased with the response of persons to the promotion. In congratulating the owner of the brand new car, she said Ms Chiddick deserved it and wished her a much more comfortable life with her new car.

      I would like to extend congrats to the lady for winning the jeep - what a great moment in life her.

      But for those that are claiming it was gods work, please think about what you say - was it gods work that others lost. Some of you believers can turn any situation into one that proves to yourself and other ignorants that the imaginary man in the sky is real - keep the fairy tale going! There is no such thing as god.

        And pushing the dislike button over 500 times will not send you to the imaginary place in the sky either.
        Let me understand this - your god is a loving, caring, forgiving god, but if you don't believe in him he will torture you with fire for an eternity - do you people actually stop and think about this nonsense?

        When you and I die I will see you at the bar for a shot of Tequila and we can laugh about it then!

            Perhaps you should do some research and you will find I am correct. The trouble with too many of you people is that you are all sheep, you follow but cant think for yourself. In this day and age its even easier to do some research and find out what is right and what is wrong. The same reason you don't follow Islam, Budhism, Taoism, Sikhism, Hinduism, Voodoo, Judaism and the same reason you don't believe in Vishnu, Krishna, Appollo, Zeus, Thor and others is the very reason your religion is wrong. None of them are real, none of them are truthful, none of them are a true representation of the world or its origins. Do some real research with an open mind and you will find out how foolish and dangerous religion really is.

      People not "god", it's "God", capital G. "god" is an idol, "God" is the creator. We need to know our place.

        Actually there was no creator, do some studying and learn about evolution.
