It’s a double celebration for Cosmas Koemparea from Pomio District, East New Britain, who has won K20,000 in the Nestlé Maggi Noodles Golden Ticket promotion with the excitement comes just weeks after welcoming his new baby into the family.

Cosmas works as a Rural Development Officer in his district under the East New Britain Provincial Government. He lives with his wife and three children, including the newborn in Pomio and the win came unexpectedly during a routine cooking session with his family.

“It was on a Saturday I bought a 12-pack of Maggi Noodles at Echo Supermarket in Kokopo town and on Sunday when preparing dinner with my wife I found the golden ticket,” Cosmos shared.

“At first, I wasn’t sure if it was real because I wasn’t aware of the promotion cause living in Pomio, the news doesn’t reach us as quickly, so I had to call the Nestlé office in Port Moresby to confirm. It nearly took a week, but when I heard it was real, the joy was overwhelming.”

Cosmos describes the moment as a true family celebration.

“Even my wife and kids were smiling everywhere in the house. It was a really good family moment. Everything happening this month and that includes my baby’s birth and winning the ticket, it definitely feels like a blessing.”

Looking ahead, Cosmos and his wife plan to invest the prize in building and upgrading their house, providing a stable home for their growing family.

“I want to sincerely thank Nestlé for this opportunity,” he said. “It will really help us, and I appreciate everything the company is doing to benefit Papua New Guineans like me. I will continue to buy Maggi Noodles for it has always been a staple in our family meals.”

The win highlights the reach and excitement of Nestlé PNG’s Golden Ticket promotion, bringing life-changing prizes and joy to families across urban and rural areas of the country.
