Expectant Mother Scores Jackpot in Gimme 5 Giveaway

It’s the moment thousands of Belizeans wait for every December, the grand finale of our Gimme 5 Christmas giveaway. After a week of excitement, charity, and live draws, this year’s jackpot landed in Orange Walk. The lucky winner? Leilani Leiva, a young expectant mother who says the timing couldn’t be better. She spent just twelve dollars on tickets and was at a wake in Belize City when she got the call that changed her holiday. Two magic words and she scored big: round-trip flights to San Pedro, a luxury stay at Ian Anderson’s Cave Branch, an A/C unit, four brand-new tires, and more. With her baby girl due any day now, Leilani couldn’t make it to the studio, but her dad told us this win is a blessing and a bright start to the new year.

“Her command law called me and say, Ani win. Ani win. So we were all happy and she was, she called us too because she was in publicity at that time. She called us and she was all happy.  “Everybody’s saying that the baby is bringing the luck, so we are all happy. She told us that she part participated this year and she bought about twelve dollars worth of Gimme Five. And she was spending at the first day and on the last day she, she was surprised. She was always waiting for the call.”
