Last Changi Millionaire Finalist a Singaporean

All seven monthly finalists of the ‘Be a Changi Millionaire’ Draw in 2011 have been drawn, with the last finalist being a 38-year-old Singaporean.

On 12 February, they will gather together at Changi Airport for a final showdown, which will see the luckiest among them walking away with a million-dollar in cash fortune.

The lucky Singaporean picked as the finalist for November 2011, the last month of the promotion, is Mr Lim Sua Chwee. “It feels like I am just a step away from striking the lottery. It’s superb and dream-like!” said Mr Lim, who works as a driver.

Being a liquor collector, Mr Lim enjoys purchasing quality liquor items to add to his collection whenever he travels. A holiday to Hong Kong in November was no exception. He spent over Sin$200 at the Liquor & Tobacco store at Terminal 2 on items including a bottle of Martini Dry Liquor and Martell Cordon Bleu Cognac.

For the month of November 2011, four lucky shoppers were also picked as the weekly winners of Sin$1,000 each. Winning purchases ranged from Sin$80 to over Sin$1,500 worth of perfumes and cosmetics, as well as duty free products.

Grand Draw in February 2012

The drawing of the last finalist for the month of November wrapped up the 30-week long ‘Be a Changi Millionaire’ campaign in 2011, which was part of Changi Airport’s 30th anniversary celebrations. The draw, which kicked off in May 2011, was the second run of the popular shopping promotion which made its debut in 2010.

On 12 February, the seven monthly finalists will vie for the grand prize of a million dollars in cash in an exciting Grand Draw, which will see one of them being crowned the Changi Millionaire. Apart from the chance to win Sin$1 million, the monthly finalists (other than the grand winner) will get Sin$5,000 in cash each, plus a three-day/two-night stay in an hotel in Singapore, with airfare provided for non-Singapore residents.

Including Mr Lim, three out of the seven finalists of the Grand Draw are Singaporeans. The remaining four finalists are Filipino, Thai, Australian and Dutch.

During the 30 weeks of the ‘Be a Changi Millionaire’ promotion, a weekly prize of Sin$1,000 was also given to one lucky winner every week. About 60% of the 30 weekly winners are Singaporeans, while the rest hail from Indonesia, China and India.

Singaporeans contribute about 20% to concession sales at Changi Airport.
