'Ofa Po'oi of Fasi was the lucky winner of the New Year $1,000 cash Xmas Bonanza drawn by the Molisi Tonga Supermarket, at Fasi on New Year's Eve.
'Ofa, who works for the Tonga Development Bank, and her family received the $1,000 prize cheque from Maliana Sevele, the Molisi manager.
With a brass band playing and free ice cream for customers, Maliana and her staff gave away over 20 big prizes to customers who had entered the draw. The second prize, an Air Ticket to Brisbane, was won by Nathan Tovehi and the third prize, an air ticket to Auckland, was won by Ben Long Sheng.
Molisi's Xmas Bonanza returns this season for the first time following the destruction of the supermarket on November 16, 2006. The supermarket has been trading over the last year at the location of its former hardware store in Fasi.
