Ceylinco Life draws 1st batch of ‘Family Savari 14’ winners for Rs 5 mn. in gold
A click of a mouse, the whir of a hard disk and a fortune in gold was gifted to a group of lucky policyholders of Ceylinco Life as the life insurance leader’s ‘new normal’ Family Savari promotion conducted its first draw.
The first batch of winners comprising 103 policyholders won Rs 5 million in gold, with one of them receiving the equivalent of Rs 1 million, two winning Rs 250,000 each, five receiving Rs 100,000 each, 25 getting Rs 50,000 each and another 70 receiving Rs 25,000 each.
Five more draws are to be conducted in 2021, culminating in more than 600 Ceylinco Life policyholders winning Rs 30 million in gold via the 14th edition of the Family Savari mega promotion. The decision to present policyholders with gold instead of the customary overseas holidays and local excursions was on account of the travel restrictions and safety precautions necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Winners chosen at the first draw came from areas as diverse as Trincomalee, Wennappuwa, Nelliaddy, Matara and Nochchiyagama.
To be eligible to participate in the six bi-monthly Family Savari draws, Ceylinco Life customers are required to keep their life insurance or retirement plans active between September 2020 and August 2021.
