prizes for everyone. This year, the line-up of prizes is, as
always, encouragingly attractive. There is an amazing Rs. 20,000 up for
grabs - daily.
If one misses out on this one, there is a prize of Rs. 1 million on
offer, every week Account-holders can avail themselves of the
opportunity to be part of the TV Game Show where there are no losers -
and the prizes range from Rs. 5,000 to Rs.100,000. Then of course, there
is the Regional Draw, now also known as ‘Gamin Gamata’ which has a total
of eight Suzuki ‘Alto’ cars - worth Rs. 1, 600,000 each - as prizes. The
big prizes come up at the end of the year - and these are worth waiting
for. The prize in the Year-End Grand Draw is a luxury house worth Rs. 10
million There is yet another prize in the Year-End Premium Draw: A
brand-new Mercedes Benz ‘E’ Class valued at Rs. 30 million.
Naturally, there are conditions that govern eligibility. To be in the
Year-End Grand Draw, the Weekly Millionaire Draw and the Daily Cash
Draw, account-holders will need to maintain a balance of Rs. 10,000 in a
Savings, Singithi or Current Account for a period of one calendar month
immediately prior to the respective Draws - except for the Daily Draw,
which, of course, will be held every working day. The Regional Draw
requires just Rs. 5,000 to be maintained in a Savings or Singithi
account for the usual one calendar month prior to the Draw to be
eligible.
To participate in the TV Game Show however, would-be winners are
required to make a new deposit of Rs. 10,000 and collect an entry coupon
- available at every HNB Customer Centre. To be eligible for the
Year-End Premium Draw calls for extra effort: A balance of Rs.100,000 in
a Savings or Singithi Account, or Rs. 50,000 in a Current Account must
be maintained for a period of one calendar month prior to the Draw. |
