A Soesdyke teenager was on Friday adjudged the first winner of the new game show Power Raffle.
According to a press release, 16-year-old Jonnell Decunha won for herself the grand prize of a brand new entertainment set.
Decunha won her prize on the live Power Raffle draw which was aired on NCN. She responded correctly to the question, “which ethnic group does the Caribbean take its name from.”
According to the release, speaking at the presentation ceremony yesterday, an elated Decunha said that after hearing that she won, she was so excited she could not sleep.
Co-creator of the show Veronique Hollingsworth said she hopes the entertainment set brings joy to the winner and her family. She said also, that the aim is to get all of Guyana playing Power Raffle so that one person can be a winner every night.
