Sands Brewery Brings Back ‘Drink & Win’ with $10,000 Cash Grand Prize

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Building on the success of its popular annual Drink & Win promotion, Sands Brewery is once again rewarding loyal consumers across The Bahamas—this time with its biggest cash grand prize yet, a chance to win $10,000 in cash as its grand prize, along with exciting weekly giveaways starting July 1st.

Last year, Sands Beer brought hundreds of excited fans to downtown Nassau for the ‘Sandsational Finale’ at Smuggler’s Square, celebrating the conclusion of its five-month Drink & Win campaign and rewarding three lucky winners.

The grand prize—a brand-new 2025 fully loaded Yamaha Jet Ski—was awarded to Harold Wilson of Grand Bahama, who entered through Transit Liquor Store in Freeport.

“I was knocked out sleeping after a long travel day when the phone rang,” Wilson laughed after learning he had won. “My wife said, ‘You won!’ and I said, ‘You sure that’s what he said?’ We kept asking each other over and over. When it finally sank in, man…I was so happy. The first thing I did when I got home that day was crack a cold Sands Light, my favourite. I’ve never won anything like this in my life.”

Also celebrating were Cyril Hall of Rock Sound, Eleuthera, who won $4,000, and Clarence Newton of New Providence, who took home $1,000 after entering through Jimmy’s Wines & Spirits on Carmichael Road.

Building on that excitement, Sands Brewery has listened to what customers have been asking for and this year, customers who purchase a six-pack of Sands, Sands Light, or Pink Grapefruit Radler from any Jimmy’s Wines and Spirits location or participating retailer will be eligible to win weekly prizes and will also be entered into the Pop and Redeem Reloaded promotion for $10,000 in cash grand prize.

According to Joel Smith, Sands Brand Manager, the decision to award cash instead of another major recreational prize came directly from consumer feedback. “We’re always excited to give back to our loyal Sands drinkers. We’ve heard the requests over the years—people telling us, ‘Cash is King.’ They wanted to see a cash grand prize, and we listened.”

He believes the change will make the promotion even more exciting. “Everybody loves cash, and everybody can use it. It’s a busy time of year with summer expenses, back-to-school preparations, and before you know it, Christmas is around the corner. We thought this was the perfect time to give someone the chance to win $10,000.”
