Either he opts for $10,000 cash or a brand new 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage, which he won as the grand prize winner during last Saturday\u2019s annual Rotary Club of Saipan Las Vegas Night at the Fiesta Resort &amp; Spa Saipan.<\/p>\n<p>Militante was not present at the time to claim his prize.<\/p>\n<p>Richard Asuncion won the second grand prize of $3,000 with winning ticket 04629. <\/p>\n<p>A ticket signed \u201cMarmy P.\u201d won the third grand prize of $2,000 with winning ticket number 10730. <\/p>\n<p>Leonora Mabutas won the fourth grand prize of $1,000 with winning ticket 02620.<\/p>\n<p>And a ticket signed \u201cM.

That is based only on the number of tickets sold, not the money from the mini-casino.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThis year was a success. We had a lot of people\u2026that came through here and we were packed,\u201d he said. \u201cThe space turned out great, the staff\u2026were very helpful and\u2026the conditions were great here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Las Vegas Night was held in both the Hibiscus Hall and the Azucena Hall of the Fiesta Resort &amp; Spa in Garapan. <\/p>\n<p> \u201cWe had some new table games,\u201d Borja said, referring to the Texas Hold \u2018Em poker tournament as well as three-card poker. <\/p>\n<p>Borja noted that the club would know how much they raised during the one-night event this Tuesday during their weekly Rotary Club of Saipan meeting. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was a lot of hard work,\u201d he said, thanking club members, the community, and Imperial Pacific International (CNMI) LLC for providing the club with dealers.<\/p>\n<p>Proceeds from the event would go to the construction of a handicap-accessible playground at the Sugar King Park. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would also use it for several Rotary Club of Saipan programs such as youth enrichment, developing the community, and promoting peace,\u201d Borja said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Romanito Militante has a pleasant choice ahead of him.
