Young Family Claims Trump Trip of a Lifetime Prize
A young family are celebrating after claiming their trip of a lifetime to New York with Big Wednesday’s Trump Up Your Life special promotion. Their winning ticket was bought via the online channel mylotto.co.nz.
The promotion winner, Mr Hancock, is originally from New Plymouth but is currently working overseas in the healthcare industry in Asia.
“I got into a regular buying habit for Big Wednesday in New Zealand, so it has been great to be able to keep buying my tickets online even when working overseas. It was pretty exciting when I got the email notifying me that I had won something big, the whole family were screaming,” he said.
Mr Hancock, who is married with two young children, says he has never travelled to New York, and it is a dream come true to have won this prize.
The whole family has been online already to check out the Big Apple. “My kids want to go to the world’s biggest toy store, while my wife and I are more interested in visiting some of the top restaurants.
“We all want to try New York’s famous deep dish pizza,” he said.
The winner is currently visiting New Zealand with his family in order to attend the high school reunion for Spotswood College, being held in New Plymouth over Easter.
The family have won six nights in New York, staying at the luxury Trump Soho Hotel, a chauffeur driven limousine for the time they’re there, passes to Donald Trump’s ultra-exclusive golf course, a personal shopping assistant, tickets to a top Broadway show, a helicopter tour of New York and US$10,000 spending money each.
And of course, Mr Hancock will have the chance to
meet Mr Donald Trump himself.
“I’ve seen Donald Trump
on the TV, so it’s amazing to think I will meet him in
person. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity!”
Mr Hancock plans to ask his mother to join his family on their dream trip.
“It will be great to have a built-in babysitter so that my wife and I can enjoy the night life in New York,” he said.
Every Big Wednesday ticket purchased during the special two week promotion received a voucher that went into the draw for this exciting prize, which was drawn on 17 March.
