George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands – July 29, 2010:  Local businessman and long-time Digicel customer, Stanley Pearson, was dramatically announced as the first winner of US$10,000 in Digicel’s Special Delivery summer promotion on Friday, 30^th July.  The promotion which runs until September 10^th will see two more Cayman residents winning US$10,000 each.

Still in a state of shock, Stanley exclaimed - “This is unbelievable!  I got a call from a Digicel representative informing me that I was one of five finalists who were vying to win the US$10,000 cash prize, and I was required to be at home at 5:30pm on Friday.  I was happy but still a little bit apprehensive as I never thought that I would win.  I was actually returning home from work, when I saw a lot of Digicel balloons and a large gathering of Digicel representatives.  I saw the cheque with my name on it and it was then that I knew that I was the winner.”

A hardworking businessman who owns a landscaping business, Stanley joined Digicel just after Hurricane Ivan in 2004, the same year that Digicel launched in the Cayman Islands.  Relieved at having better telecommunication options, he quickly signed up for his first Digicel prepaid phone.  Since then, he has never looked back.  Today, he joins tens of thousands of Cayman Islands residents who have benefitted from Cayman’s Bigger, Better Network.  Stanley won US$10,000 in the Digicel ‘Special Delivery’ promotion simply by buying prepaid Top-up!

“I have yearned to expand my business some day, but was hampered by lack of funds to purchase equipment.  I never dreamt that I would win US$10,000.  Digicel is awesome!” exclaimed Stanley. 

In keeping with the theme of the promotion and adding Digicel’s signature flair for excitement, the prize presentation was taken to the home of the winner by way of a “special delivery.”  Digicel selected Stanley as the first of three grand prize winners of US$10,000 from a short-listed group of five finalists.  The Special Delivery team then made a home-visit to inform Stanley of his good fortune.  The event created quite a stir in Stanley’s George Town neighborhood.

CEO of Digicel, Victor Corcoran congratulated Stanley by saying “Digicel is pleased to announce the winner of the first prize of US$10,000.  Congratulations to Mr.  Pearson.  We are happy to give back to another worthy and valuable Digicel customer.  We hope that this cash will make a positive change in the life of our winner.”

The company is offering two more opportunities to win US$10,000 on August 20 and September 10, 2010.  To enter, Digicel customers simply need to Top up prepaid phones with $10 in one transaction, or pay postpaid bills in full and on time.  Entries are confirmed via an SMS notification that reads - “Congratulations!  You have been entered to win US$10,000 cash from Digicel!  Cayman’s Bigger, Better Network!”
