Father of seven praises God for winning vehicle

By PETER ESILA
SELF-employed Gaudi Vagi, 50, won a Honda CRV car in a Stop & Shop Koki promotion in Port Moresby.
“I praise God. I did not expect this,” he said.
“I know this is God’s gift.”
Vagi, who placed his entry receipt into the bin provided at the outlet, was with his 28-year-old son Koani Gaudi when his name was called.
“I could not believe it,” he said. “I was just in tears when they called my name.”
Vagi spent K154.55 while shopping at the supermarket on Christmas Eve last year, and entered the draw.
There were 20,000 shoppers at Koki who entered the draw after spending K90 or more.
The car costs around K50,000, according to SNS marketing manager Regina Narokobi.
Vagi from Porebada is married with seven children. This is he’s first time to own a car.
The second winner for the Koki SNS draw was Bala Rawa who won a K5,000 gift hamper.
Third prize went to Rex Kundipo with a K2,000 gift voucher.
In the Town SNS draw, Mataio Lahui also won a CRV Honda car. Second was Bernadeth Diakon with K5,000 gift hampers and third was Estherly Mambrasar.
The draws for SNS Badili, SNS Bokoko-Airways, City Pharmacy Boroko and CP PomGen will be at SNS Badili on Wednesday.
