The Rs. 1 million grand prize winner at the sixth and final draw of the mega promotion emerged from Kuliyapitiya while two more lucky policyholders from Vavuniya and Bandarawela won Rs. 250,000 each. Fortune also favoured policyholders from all around the island, including from places as diverse as Padaviya, Wennappuwa, Pelmedulla and Akuressa. The concluding Family Savari draw rewarded a total of 176 winners: 76 with cash prizes and 100 with supermarket vouchers. 

In all, the six bi-monthly draws of the 15th Ceylinco Life Family Savari promotion benefitted 1,056 policyholders who received cash prices to the value of Rs. 24 million and supermarket vouchers to the value of Rs. 6 million, making a prize purse of Rs. 30 million.

Besides the six one-million-rupee prize winners, the draws rewarded another 450 winners with cash prizes totalling Rs. 18 million and presented 600 consolation prizes of supermarket shopping vouchers, each worth Rs. 10,000.
