The Freemans took the opportunity to speak of their experiences in doing business at various retail stores and how they plan to make the best use of their winnings.

“I am very excited about winning from my company, TDC. I always shop at the different units, especially the Home and Building Depot.  When I received the call about being the lucky winner, it almost felt like a call from heaven. I have always had a willingness to do business with TDC, all because of its corporate spirit, always giving back, involved in sharing, and giving. Today, because of this very same spirit, individuals like me and my wife have an opportunity to get something back. Blessings to TDC, to God be the glory.”

When asked what he will do with the winnings, a smiling James said, “there is a lot to be done, it involves shopping again, buying home items, and renovations, but of course I will pass this on to the Minister of Finance, my wife.”
