‘The first prize in our Gold Deposit business customer offer comes to 104,290 RUR at the moment. This is the cost of the gold accumulated since the beginning of the special offer’s term. The weight of the prize keeps growing, and so does the number of business who chose to work with the Ural Bank for Reconstruction and Development,’ the spokesperson for the bank said to an UrBC reporter.

‘Gold will keep adding up until December 29, 2008. The prize will thus keep being accumulated from November 24, 2008 to December 29, 2008. The weight of the gold prize depends on the number of accounts opened within the indicated period. There is still time for anyone willing to join in the offer; all you have to do is open a settlement account in the bank before December 29, 2008. You may be the one to win ‘the pile of gold’, the spokesperson explains.

The winner will be identified in the course of lottery-drawing on December 30, 2008. The procedure will be carried out in the bank’s headquarters at 67 Sacco & Vanzetti St in Yekaterinburg. The winning business will have a special account set up for them where the gold will be transferred.
