Changi Millionaire candidate no.3

By Doug Newhouse |


Mr Wan Bao Guo, a 44-year old Shanghai business manager is Changi Airport’s third ‘Be a Changi Millionaire’ finalist.

 

Mr Wan received the news after buying a Gucci bag – amongst other purchases – for his wife when shopping at Changi Airport. This was on the last leg home of a business trip on behalf of his logistics company in China.

The purchase of the Gucci Bag has already won him a holiday for two to Singapore, in addition to the big opportunity of a one in six chance to win the grand prize of S$1m ($793,614).

Commenting on the win, Changi Airport said: “Before his trip to Singapore, Mr Wan was told that prices of luxury brands were quite competitive in Singapore and was specifically asked by his wife to compare prices of a bag she had eyes on.

“When at the boutique in Terminal 3’s transit mall, a call home to Mrs Wan confirmed the purchase of a Gucci bag worth $2,280.”

Organised by Changi Airport Group (CAG), ‘Be a Changi Millionaire’ is the fourth run of Singapore’s largest retail promotion in terms of prize-money. Three shoppers have since been made overnight millionaires at Changi Airport. Past winners consist of two Singaporeans and an Australian.
