And the winner is…

PALM BEACH — Rogelio Campos will never forget this year’s
Christmas as he had the gift of his dreams last Saturday.
The Casino at The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba announced the
winner of the amazing Deal (U.S.$250.000 cash) or Wheel
(Ferrari 448) Campaign.

The Master of Ceremony Mark Benson had the honor to
announce the winner during this nerve-wracking grand
finale, where 20 finalists had the opportunity to have the
lucky card. But only one can win, and that one turned
out to be Campos! It was a great party with the band
Buleria… and lots of bubbles and games. Be ready for
more fun at the casino, pass by and see what campaign
is going on or just to play a game. Who knows you could
be the next lucky winner. q
