Singapore Changi Airport yesterday announced two winners in its ninth ‘Be a Changi Millionaire’ annual shopping promotion at the Crowne Plaza hotel.

Chen Rou Jing, 34, won the S$1m ($563,500) grand prize, while Cao Zheng, 24, won a brand-new Jaguar E-Pace SUV.

Fourteen finalists competed for the top prizes in a preliminary game of blindfolded scissors, paper and stone on stage.

After a series of eliminations, a final eight were pitted against each other for the S$1m award, with six contesting the motorcar prize.

MORE SHOPPER REWARDS COMING…

Eligibility to enter the ‘Be a Changi Millionaire’ draw was based on a minimum purchase of S$50 ($28) in a single ticket at shopping or dining outlets at the airport.

One lucky finalist was selected each month from May to October 2018 to enter the grand draw, with a further two qualifying via iShopChangi and as Platinum card members of the Changi Rewards loyalty programme.

The car prize finalists were drawn from shoppers making purchases of more than $500 in accumulated spending on a single day.

More than 1.4m entries were received for the latest draw from 212 nationalities. Participants from Singapore, China and Indonesia accounted for the top three groups.

The 10^th edition of the draw will be held later this year as part of a year-long rewards campaign.
