Lihu'e man's odds improve to win Ace Hardware store

Advertiser Staff

Lihu'e resident Said Ghezal now has a 1-in-12 chance to win a new Ace Hardware store in a contest by the hardware retailer.

The company said Ghezal advanced to the semifinals and will compete with 11 others to win the store in Houston valued at $1 million.

Ghezal was initially among 5,400 people who entered the contest, and last week was selected as one of more than 40 state finalists.

A winner is slated to be picked by Ace retailers during a convention on March 15 in Las Vegas.
