VIDEO: Winners of Maple Ridge BIA Win Your Wish draw announced

Almost 4,500 receipts entered in contest

Winners of the 10th annual Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association’s Win Your Wish contest were drawn at ValleyFair Mall.

There were nine lucky prize package winners were drawn on Monday, Jan. 9, in addition to 10 others whose receipts were plucked in the second chance contest.

Representatives from the prize sponsors were on hand to draw the winning entries.

Lisa Parslow enters the contest every year and won the Expedia Cruises travel package worth $2,000.

This is the second time Parslow has won the Win Your Wish contest, winning the Haney Appliance and Sound package about six years ago.

Parslow entered about 25 receipts this year, spreading them out for the different packages.

She is hoping to use her winnings for a sunny, hot getaway to either Cuba or Mexico.

Elinor Etmanskie, who only moved to Maple Ridge from New Westminster in June of last year, took home the Ryan Jewellers package also worth $2,000.

“I was surprised and excited and happy,”described Etmanskie about the moment when she learned she won the prize.

“I was putting receipts in there like crazy,” she laughed, entering to win five of the nine available packages.

Since the win Etmanskie has already paid a visit to Ryan Jewellers to have look. But, she said, there were so many items she wants that she will have to go back again.

The Win Your Wish contest ran from November 25 to the end of December. There were $19,000 in prizes to be won. Receipts of any value were accepted from stores in the downtown core of Maple Ridge – not including receipts for liquor purchases or lottery.

Almost 4,500 receipts were entered into the contest this year.
