Three customers from different districts have become millionaires after they had purchased two of Walton refrigerators and one air conditioner under the “Digital Campaign Season-24.”

The winners are Suprakash Chakma, a retired senior officer of Sonali Bank from Bandarban; Tahmina Akter, a school teacher from Narsingdi; and day-labourer Kuddus Hawlader from Bagerhat.

Among them, Suprakash Chakma and Kuddus Hawlader each purchased a refrigerator, while Tahmina Akter bought an air conditioner from their nearest Walton showrooms, says a media release.

Suprakash Chakma received a cheque worth of Tk 10 lakh at a program held in Bandarban town on Wednesday, while Tahmina Akter and Kuddus Hawlader each received Tk 10 lakh worth cheques at separate programmes held in Narsingdi and Fakirhat respectively on May 4 and April 26.

The functions were also attended, among others, by Head of Walton Distributor Network Md. Firoj Alam, Walton AC’s Chief Business Officer Tanvir Rahman and Walton’s Chief Marketing Officer Zoheb Ahmed.

Authorities say, the digital campaign’s new season was launched nationwide ahead of the upcoming Eid-ul-Azha festival. 50 customers across the country have already become millionaires after purchasing Walton products during previous seasons.

Suprakash Chakma purchased a 145-litre Walton refrigerator at Tk.28,000 from the Walton distributor outlet ‘Eastern Agency’ in Bandarban on April 16 this year. After he had purchased the refrigerator, the digital registration with the bar code of the product, his name and mobile phone number was done.

Meanwhile, Kuddus Hawlader purchased a refrigerator worth Tk 42,690 from Fakirhat Walton Plaza by making a down payment of Tk 18,000 under a six-month instalment benefit. He too won Tk 10 lakh through the campaign.

Expressing his reaction, Suprakash Chakma said he had bought lottery tickets many times before in his life but never won anything. He added that he never imagined getting such a big reward just by buying a refrigerator.

Thanking Walton authorities, Tahmina Akter said winning such a large amount of money after purchasing an air conditioner was an unforgettable moment for her and that the prize money would greatly benefit her family.

Walton Distributor Network’s Head of Sales Firoj Alam said, the initiative reflects the company’s commitment to rewarding customers of locally manufactured products.
