Local resident Kevin Buddee, 22, won a brand new 2009 Holden Omega last Sunday night at Hotel CBD.
The car raffle was the ending to a three month long promotional event hosted on by Hotel CBD.
In the gaming lounge of Hotel CBD Buddee, along with nine other contestants, gathered for the final round of the raffle to decide who would win the car.
Each contestant chose an envelope containing a key in hopes of receiving the key which would open the car door.
One by one the contestants unsuccessfully attempted to open the car door. With two contestants remaining Buddee’s key unlocked the car. The crowd erupted with a mixture of excitement and disappointment.
Buddee, shocked and overwhelmed had few words to say.
“It’s pretty extreme,” he said.
Ironically, Buddee does not have a driver’s license and therefore a friend will be driving the car home on Tuesday.
Public Relations and Marketing Manager of Hotel CBD Tracey Fox said this event was part of a series of events being held to promote the hotel and bar.
