Jot Kailay wins the One in a Billion contest!

Jot Kailay with TransLink CEO Tom Prendergast and Province publisher Kevin Bent. (Look at the size of that FareCard!)

The 10 contest finalists together---Carla Shore, Julie Hanson, Alexandra Wood, Jot Kailay, Colleen Gorrie, Frances Galea, Elvira Zampieri, Sandy Keith and Yvonne Pendree. At the back we have Province deputy editor Fabian Dawson; SkyTrain president Doug Kelsey, TransLink CEO Tom Prendergast and Province president and publisher Kevin Bent.

Last Friday, we drew a winner from 10 finalists in our One in a Billion contest: Mr. Jot Kailay!

The contest, organized together with the Province newspaper, celebrated SkyTrain’s milestone of one billion passenger trips this year.

Jot’s 100-word contest entry talked about a whole train joining in with a little girl’s rendition of “If You’re Happy And You Know It”: all of the 10 finalist entries can be found on the Province’s site.

And as the grand winner, Jot took home was $1000 and a year of transit passes. Our nine runners-up won a free monthly pass for up to three zones of travel. Thank you to everyone for entering and congratulations to the winners again!
