We have given out education grants, business grants and Salary for life.

Our customers said they want to keep Salary for life, Business Grant and Free Rent.  They also told us to add lots of smaller prizes so everybody has a chance to win.  And finally, they asked us to bring it closer to home, and that’s why this year we are taking Diamond Xtra into every neighborhood so that people can see the difference and share with friends.  to Season 13.”
