The winners were announced during a ceremony at Princess Casino late Thursday. Carty won a one-week trip to Las Vegas for two persons plus some spending money, while Matthew won a home makeover by Kooyman.
A number of other Fun Miles cardholders won consolation prizes ranging from a shopping spree at Sunny Foods Supermarket and bonus Fun Miles to Limousine Tours around the island and Kooyman gift certificates. Each consolation prize winner had to pick an envelope and won whatever prize was in the envelope.
The two grand prize winners were called up on stage close to 11:00pm. Each had to pick an envelope and won the prize contained in the envelope selected. Before they selected their envelopes, Mathew said he wanted to win the home makeover, while Carty said she preferred the trip to Las Vegas. The two said they were willing to swap if they picked the wrong envelopes. However, they did not have to because each won the desired prize.
The prize-giving ceremony was spiced up with entertainment by dancers.
The Fun Jack competition began on October 18, 2011, and ended on January 31, 2012. Similar competitions were held in Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao.
Fun Miles said in a press release issued on Friday that the campaign "captivated tens of thousands of people, who avidly collected and traded FunJack tickets in the hope of winning one of the exciting prizes."
For the competition, Fun Miles cardholders received FunJack tickets at participating companies. Many of these scratch cards revealed instant prizes, but they also could be glued to a special game board to compete for the grand prizes. This required players to combine card values to make a total of exactly 21 points, just like in the game Blackjack that inspired the campaign.
"The fact that people wanted to submit as many game boards as possible led to a lively trade in FunJack tickets. Special trading days were even organised, which were characterised by a competitive yet friendly atmosphere," Fun Miles said in its press release.
Previous Fun Miles end-of-year campaigns included Funopoly, Fungo and The Funstones. "Many of Fun Miles' partners have noticed a significant peak in the number of Fun Miles transactions during the FunJack campaign," it was stated in the release.
Fun Miles partners include BBW Concrete, Kooyman, Orange Grove Pharmacy, Scot's Gas Station, Sunny Foods, SBS, Travel Planners, United Telecommunications Services, Windward Islands Bank, Princess Perfumes, KFC, McDonald's and Pizza Hut.
