JOHOR BARU: Her habit of renewing her subscription of The Star early paid off when she won a premium watch worth RM28,000 in the Star50 Subscribe and Win contest.
The winner, who only wanted to be known as Elizabeth, can now call herself the proud owner of an Oris Artelier Calibre 112 timepiece, which was given away as the second prize in the contest.
“I renewed my subscription of The Star Bundle on Sept 21, about two months before it ends in November.
“It is my usual practice to renew it earlier to avoid missing the newspaper as I have been a reader for more than four decades,” said the retiree from Pahang.
She also did not think that she would be lucky enough to be a winner when she read an article in The Star about the contest’s third prize winner who walked away with an ML Aikon Automatic 39mm watch from Maurice Lacroix worth RM9,500 recently.
Elizabeth said she was elated after learning that she won a luxury watch as she thought all the prizes had been given away.
“I plan to give the brand new watch to my son,” said Elizabeth, 79.
The contest is held in conjunction with Star Media Group’s (SMG) 50th anniversary bash.
It is still not too late to win a premium timepiece, which is the grand prize of a Ulysse Nardin Diver Chronograph 44mm valued at RM50,000.
Subscribe to SMG’s selected plans by Nov 11 to stand a last chance to win this piece of luxury.
Contestants stand a chance to win the timepiece from Swiss Watch Gallery just by subscribing to any of The Star’s bundle packages of the standalone plan.
For existing subscribers, you can enter the contest, which runs from Sept 16 to Nov 11, by renewing your subscription during the contest period.
There is also a special anniversary discount of RM50 for all of SMG’s print products such as The Star Newspaper standalone plan, The Star All Access and The Star Bundle.
