Indian Time - A Voice from the Eastern Door

“I’ve never won anything more than a $100 in my life!” came the exasperated cry of Carol McHale, the grand prize winner, and only one of the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino’s Wild Wild Weekend lucky players!

Starting February 12th, the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino witnessed a surreal amount of players surging in through their front doors as prizes ranging from diamond jewelry sets to a brand new Chevy Camaro were being offered. Although the real energy was exuded from each of its winners as raw emotion poured forth from each individual. The first drawing on Saturday, February 13 heralded Randal Blaise of Newport Vermont as the winner of a sparkling diamond ring and earring set. In one swift move, he called his wife on stage to announce with a smile, “Happy Valentines Day, honey!” Both Kelly Lablonde of Massena and Diane Davis of Franklin, Vermont, each could hardly contain their excitement as each cheerfully accepted their diamond jewelry sets.

On Sunday, February 14, not only did the patron count double but so did the anticipation. Thousands of individuals filled the floors in hopes of getting the chance at winning a brand new fully loaded 2010 Chevy Camaro with an approximate $40,000 value. The drawing proved to be a cliffhanger as casino policies and procedures state, the winner must be present and collect their prize within 5 minutes of their name being called. Every audience member waited with baited breath as five minutes sluggishly passed until Jay Tarbell, Director of Guest Relations at last announced Carol McHale of Bangor, New York, the winner! The crowd erupted in applause as their cheers only propelled Carol to the stage who animatedly exclaimed, “I never had a new car before…I hope it has an ashtray!”
