Lady Luck dropped by in the garb of actress Rimjhim Mitra, who selected the winners for the Cricket Crazy Shopping Festival, powered by Anandabazar Patrika and The Telegraph, through a lucky draw.

Rimjhim spent the afternoon of February 28 at Khosla Electronics, Beckbagan, and Great Eastern Appliances, Beckbagan, rifling through the coupons to pick the favoured few. Week 3 of this month-long festival saw two winners who will live it up in Australia with an all-expenses-paid trip while the World Cup is on. Ten more won smartphones.

The shopping festival, on till March 8, has seen 12 winners being picked through a lucky draw each week — two to fly to Australia and 10 to follow the scores on their brand new smartphones. “I have never been to Australia, so this idea’s all the more appealing to me. I think it is a great initiative. Like me there must be hundreds of other people who want to visit beautiful Australia. Though I am not a cricket buff, getting to see people visit Australia while the World Cup is on is hugely exciting,” said Rimjhim.
