Interview: Cartoon Network SST Grand Prize Winner

 

You are looking at Chase, the Grand Prize Winner of the Cartoon Network’s “Search For The Seventh Toa” Contest , held two weekends in October of last year. He is holding the one-of-a-kind PLATINUM AVOHKII MASK OF LIGHT. Here is Chase’s story in his own words:

    My name is Chase. I’m 12 years old, but I was 11 when I won the Mask of Light contest. When I started dialing the number to enter the contest, I probably had to hit the redial button about 20 times before someone came on the line. First they asked if I could hold, then they came back and said, “Congratulations, you’ve won 2nd prize”! They took my personal information like name, age, address and said I would receive the 2nd prize, which was a Rahkshi BIONICLE® (set) in about 6 weeks. By being a 2nd prize winner I was automatically entered to win the grand prize.

    A few weeks went by and I actually forgot about the grand prize. (I thought I wouldn’t have much of a chance). But then on Oct 22, a lady called from the Cartoon Network prize center, and told my mom that I was the grand prize winner!. All my mom and I could say was, “oh my gosh” – over and over again. We were so excited!

    Before the contest, I did like BIONICLE, but not as much as some others I know. A lot of people at my school were angry or jealous that I had won. A few were happy for me. I gave some prizes away as gifts to the kids I knew would appreciate them.

    The first prize to arrive (after the BIONICLE I won as 2nd place) was the 36” TV. That was great because our other TV was really old and not working well. We needed a new TV really bad. Then the rest of the prizes came together in one big box. It took about 8 weeks in all.

    Besides the mask, which is really cool of course, my favorite prize would be the TV and DVD player. I don’t display the mask because I keep it locked up in a safe place. I plan on keeping it, but may later sell if the right offer comes along.

    I’d like to thank both Lego & Cartoon Network for their great contests & prizes.

    Chase
