An 18-year-old senior high school graduate, Thomas Arthur, is the owner of brand new Hyundai i10, after he was declared the winner of the just-ended ‘Cindy Rice Giveaway Promo’.

The promo, which was held on August 17 by Sikakrobea Company Limited's Cindy rice, Ghana's topmost rice brand, was to reward loyal customers who patronised Cindy Rice.

Over 12,000 customers received several giveaways like TV sets, Irons, blenders and other consolation prizes by simply finding a winning card in any rice sack purchased.
