Santa Barbara woman won the Lucky want to miss it. I’ve been told by Trails Giveaway, a $150,000 package friends of mine at the casino that featuring a luxury Keystone Montana my name has been called for two
fifth wheel trailer and a Chevy Silverado 3500 HD dually truck, during the latest quarterly grand prize giveaway at Chumash Casino Resort. The winner, Veronique E. (pictured right), said she had a feeling it was going to be her lucky night when she arrived for the 10 p.m. drawing on October 27th.
“We had just returned from a trip to Vegas earlier that day, but something was driving me to be there for the drawing that night,” Veronique said.
“People always stumble on my first name, so when my husband heard the announcer try to say my name, he immediately threw his hands in the air and said,‘That’s you! You won!’”
Winners have to be present to claim their prize, and they have just 10 minutes to reach the Chumash Casino Resort’s promotions desk to prove their attendance once their name is called.
“Everything was a blur,” Veronique said. “I just took off running for the counter because I didn’t
car drawings in the past, but I wasn’t there.”
Veronique compiled entries for the drawing over the past three months by using her Diamond tier players club card whenever she played the slots on the gaming floor. The prize package had been on display outside the entrance to the Chumash Casino Resort since early August.
“My husband and I like going to the casino because it’s just a great mini getaway,” Veronique said of the Chumash Casino Resort. “It’s nice for us to go there, hang out and just drift away. When I’m there, I’m not thinking about work or stress. I’m just in the moment.”
Chumash Casino Resort features a car giveaway every week, but the next quarterly giveaway, 2 Cadillacs and a Clunker, features a luxury
Cadillac Escalade, a brand-new Cadillac CT6, and an AMC Gremlin, which are together valued at over $150,000. The 2 Cadillacs and a Clunker drawing will be held at 10 p.m. on Sunday, January 26th. For more details, visit The Club at Chumash or go to ChumashCasino.com.
