An Australian from the State of Victoria, on his
first overseas holiday with his wife, has become the first monthly
winner of the ‘Be a Changi Millionaire’ Draw after purchasing two
bottles of perfume at Singapore Changi Airport.
Mr Philip Moody, 53, from Cape Paterson, a
two-hour drive from Melbourne, wins Sin$5,000 in cash plus return
airfare to Singapore with a three day/two night stay in a
luxurious hotel as the June winner of the monthly draw. The
veteran police officer now has a one-in-six chance of becoming the
Changi Millionaire.
The ‘Be a Changi Millionaire’ Draw, which kicked
off on 1 June 2010, offers a Grand Prize of Sin$1 million in cash. The Millionaire will be selected from among six
monthly winners. In addition, there are 188 other cash prizes
totalling more than Sin$200,000.
“This can’t be true, I’m not
that lucky. I really thought it was some kind of a practical
joke,” said Mr Moody, when he was told that his name had been
drawn as the Draw winner for the month of June. “My wife and I
talked about it on our flight home, but I never really thought I
would be picked out of all the people I imagine took part!”
Come January 2011, Mr Moody will be travelling to Singapore for
the ‘Be a Changi Millionaire’ Grand Draw alongside five other
monthly finalists, whose names will be drawn upon the close of
every month from July to November 2010.
“My wife will come with
me; she is my lucky charm. I’ll just cross my fingers and hope my
good luck will continue,” Mr Moody said.
Australia is among Changi Airport’s top five markets
by passenger numbers, with almost four million passengers from
the country arriving and departing last year. Changi is
connected to seven cities in Australia, namely Adelaide, Brisbane,
Cairns, Darwin, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. Seven airlines at
Changi – Singapore Airlines, Qantas, Jetstar, Emirates, British
Airways, Tiger Airways and Etihad Airways – operate almost 450
weekly flights to and from Australia.
