For Denise Morgan, Wray & Nephew’s Every Win Needs a Wray promotion is one she’ll never forget.

The promotion, which ran from May 8 to July 31, produced 60 lucky winners. While the other nine bi-weekly winners entered multiple times, Morgan secured her prize with just a single valid entry, winning a brand-new recliner.

“I actually entered only once. I remember buying the products twice, but I lost one receipt. I kept thinking, ‘What are the odds of entering just one time and winning?’ But here I am. I really defied the odds.”

Morgan said she was at work when Wray & Nephew tried to reach her. After stepping away from her desk and missing the call, she returned to find a text message asking her to get in touch urgently.

She immediately returned the call and was thrilled to learn she had won.

“The person on the line said, ‘Congratulations, you’ve won.’ When she told me it was a recliner, I was so excited that I immediately started asking how I could collect it.”

The first person Morgan shared the news with was her sister, who had encouraged her after she entered the promotion.

“She remembered me telling her about entering and she said, ‘A lie, gyal!’ She was so happy for me.”

While delighted with the prize itself, Morgan said the timing of the win made it especially meaningful.

“The promotion came at a time in my life when I really needed that big win. I needed a reminder that positive things can happen. It reassured me how positive life can be. I work hard, and I hustle, and I juggle and handle business, so that recliner on a Sunday evening when I can finally relax will help me to enjoy it to the fullest, so thanks to Wray & Nephew for that.”

“Every Win Needs a Wray was designed to reward the loyalty of our consumers and create memorable moments that extend beyond the purchase,” said Kerry-Ann Bryan, Brand Manager for Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum. 

“Denise’s story is especially inspiring because it reminds us that it only takes one opportunity to create a winning moment. Seeing the genuine excitement these prizes have brought to our winners has been incredibly rewarding, and we thank every customer who chose to participate in the promotion,” Bryan added.

A longtime Wray & Nephew consumer, Morgan said the promotion strengthened her appreciation for a brand that has long been part of her household.

“I’m a Wray Rum girl. I’ve supported the brand for quite some time now, and I finally get something back from Wray.”

She also noted that, beyond its well-known use as a beverage, Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum has long held a place in Jamaican homes for traditional remedies.

“People associate Wray & Nephew with drinking, but it’s also very good for topical ointments. I’m from the country originally, and I remember when my grandmother used to take the rum and mix it with a particular bush and sap the joints, so it has multiple functions, so it’s always a constant in my household and a constant in my life.”
