Digicel switches up final game show with irresistible banker’s offer

Digicel Guyana, during the last game show of their “Deal or No Deal” summer promotion held on Sunday, made an irresistible banker’s offer of $1,000,000 million to all five contestants. The five finalists were given the opportunity to take the banker’s offer or to keep what was in their case.
Of the five, two contestants, Rwanda Bentham and Rean Ghani chose the banker’s offer and walked away with a whopping $1,000,000 million while the others who kept their cases won cash prizes within $500,000 to $1,000,000 million.

Contestant Two, Mary Williams, who lives in Port Kaituma, Region One (Barima-Waini) walked away with $1M, while Godfrey Gardner won $700,000 and contestant four, Shonette Roberts of Linden, won $500,000.
Some of the contestants related that when they first received the call saying they won, they were a bit sceptical and thought it was a prank, while others shared that they were excited and eagerly awaiting confirmation.
According to Bentham, “I spelled the word and I was waiting on my call and I didn’t receive the call until the next day so you know with the pranks you get kind of [sceptical] so for me personally when I got the call, she said yes it was real [and] I was really excited.”
Another contestant, Ghani, added, “When I received the call, I was like, this for real? I even put the call on record because I thought it was a scam.”
Williams, who still won $1,000,000 despite not taking the banker’s offer, shared that she will invest the money into her small parts store, which she operates in Port Kaituma.
During the previous game show, Carlos Cummings won the highest cash prize of $2,000,000 after selecting the lucky case number seven
In an interview with Guyana Times after winning, Cummings, who operates a construction business, noted that a portion of the money would go toward purchasing tools and other equipment that he needs for his company.
A confident Cummings also related that, upon leaving his home for the show, he had already made the decision to choose briefcase number seven because that was his lucky number.
“Well, I’m into trucking service and I’m also a contractor, so I need to get some equipment. So, I will spend some on equipment, and then I would go on a little vacation with the family,” he said.
“Seven is my lucky number. Before I leave home, I said, ‘Look, I’m going to go there I wouldn’t trade this case for no other case or no other money, and that would be the case; because you know when you’re on a winning roll you’re on a winning roll,” Cummings explained.
Cummings is the only contestant throughout the promotion to win $2,000,000.
