NORTH YORK, ON, May 29, 2017 /CNW/ - "It's unbelievable! This is the first time in my life that I've ever won anything," said Chirag Patel, a network administrator at the privately-owned Metro College of Technology. "My wife and daughters are so happy that I won this beautiful Mercedes Benz. I could never have afforded this car, so we think we are very fortunate. We're going to take it for a long drive together soon."
This afternoon at Mercedes Benz Markham, Patel was presented the keys to his metal grey 2017 Mercedes Benz CLA as the final winner in the 2016-17 Select Sweepstakes, an annual campaign run by one of Canada's leading providers of group car and home insurance — Economical Select. Along with their broker partners, Economical Select offers eligible group members an opportunity to win great prizes just for calling to get a quote on car or home insurance.[1]
As a member of the Society of Internet Professionals, Patel was eligible for group car and home insurance from Economical Select through his broker, Rai Grant, who entered Patel into the sweepstakes simply for getting a quote.
"We have been in Canada for nine years and I went without a car until 2016 when my wife gave me my first car – a used one – as a gift," said Patel. "My colleagues at work are very excited for me. They all want me to take them for a ride. They are also getting in touch with Rai Grant so they can qualify for the Select Sweepstakes, too! Rai Grant has been so helpful with my insurance needs. I know I can call them anytime and they will respond very quickly."
"We are thrilled to be able to present Mr. Patel of The Society of Internet Professionals (SIP) with the keys to a new 2017 Mercedes Benz CLA," said Paul Rai, President of Rai Grant Insurance Brokers. "Since we started the SIP Group Auto & Home Insurance Program in 2008, hundreds of members have called us for quotes to take advantage of the program and obtained 'Better Coverage for a Better Price.' For Mr. Patel, this is the ultimate win-win scenario. He saved money on his insurance and in doing so, won a Mercedes! All of us at Rai Grant Insurance would like to congratulate Mr. Patel on winning the Select Sweepstakes and we wish him safe travels wherever his new car may take him."
"It's been a momentous year for the Select Sweepstakes campaign, and we're thrilled to award the final grand prize to a lucky group member today," said Jeff Patterson, National Business Development Manager, Economical Select. "We work closely with our broker partners to offer group members superior customer and claims service plus exclusive discounts on car and home insurance. We're also pleased to offer exciting campaigns and give away great prizes — which certainly makes group members the winners here!"
