Second prize winner Anthony François Dailoo won an Ipad3 plus one year subscription on click 2000.

Nathanielle Chang-Sam won a Samsung Galaxy S4 and a one-year subscription on Koze 700 as third prize.

The lottery was one of the activities to mark Cable & Wireless’ 120th anniversary.

Speaking at the event, Mr Hammond said the 120th anniversary of the company is a milestone which extends beyond the few months during which the campaign has been running.

“This celebration encases every single progress Cable & Wireless has made and these past few months have been a reminder of the path we have trodden and the hard work associated with it,” he said.

“We keep moving in the right direction along a path where we bring more development in Seychelles through communications and innovative solutions to our customers, and where we keep improving customer experience to meet their expectations.”
