Senior, Alyssa Maiuri, was nothing but lucky this Friday the Thirteenth when she won a free trip to Bermuda at the Newport International Boat Show.
Maiuri wanted to check the Boat Show off her senior year bucket list, and decided to attend the show for the first time with her roommates at Newport Yachting Center. Entering her name into a random vendor contest, she won a free 3 night, 4 day stay in Bermuda.
As she was walking into her house after the boat show, Maiuri got a call from an unknown Rhode Island phone number and immediately had a gut feeling it was about the trip.
“I was in shock and all I could say was, ‘Wait, really?’ When I realized it was true, I immediately told my roommates who were sitting there listening in. As soon as I told them they started to scream and laugh because, like me, they were in shock that that actually just happened. I couldn’t stop shaking as I listened to the last few words the woman had to say.”
Maiuri is still waiting for more information about her trip. The trip is only for two people so unfortunately she can’t bring all her roommates. Right now, she is considering bringing her mother as a 50th birthday present.
“I still have not really grasped the idea that I won but I’m so happy and thankful!”
