Michelob ULTRA Delivers Unforgettable NBA Playoff Experience for Bahamian Winners

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Four lucky Bahamian basketball fans recently experienced the thrill of NBA playoff basketball live in Atlanta after winning an all-expense-paid trip through the Michelob ULTRA NBA promotion hosted by Jimmy’s Wines & Spirits.

The promotion invited customers to purchase a six-pack of Michelob ULTRA at any Jimmy’s Wines & Spirits location for a chance to win the ultimate basketball getaway. The two winners, Lashad Strachan and Tre Hanna and their guests were flown to Atlanta to witness the New York Knicks face off against the Atlanta Hawks during an electrifying playoff showdown at State Farm Arena.

The game itself proved to be one for the history books. In front of a roaring playoff crowd, the Hawks edged out the Knicks in a dramatic 109-108 victory that came down to the final seconds. With the arena on its feet and tension building possession after possession, Atlanta sealed the win with a clutch defensive stop that sent the hometown crowd into celebration mode and gave the visiting Bahamian fans an unforgettable first-hand taste of NBA playoff intensity.

For Lashad Strachan, the experience exceeded every expectation.

“When I got the text that I won, I was actually shocked because I entered the raffle with no intention that I would really win, so it was truly a blessing,” Strachan said. “The best part for me was definitely the game because it was my first time ever going to an NBA game. I always wanted to experience that one day, and for it to happen through an all-paid trip was amazing. I had fun from the beginning of the trip right to the end. Mr. Cooper made sure we were comfortable the whole time and really made the experience even better. It’s something I’ll never forget.”

The trip was coordinated by Cortez Cooper, Brand Manager, who accompanied the winners throughout the experience and said the promotion reflects the company’s commitment to rewarding loyal customers with memorable opportunities.

“I’m excited that we are continuously creating unforgettable experiences for our consumers by taking two lucky winners and their guests to witness the excitement of the NBA Playoffs live as the New York Knicks faced off against the Atlanta Hawks,” Cooper said. “This promotion reflects Michelob ULTRA’s and Jimmy’s commitment to bringing fans closer to the sports moments they love while celebrating an active, social lifestyle with one of the world’s most exciting sporting events.”
