“Big Wednesday stands for the ultimate lifestyle, so we searched the world to find a suitable personality to help make the luxury life real for four lucky kiwis,” says NZ Lotteries’ Chief Executive Todd McLeay.
Mr Donald Trump, famous world-wide for his starring role in the popular TV show The Apprentice, is also well known for his super luxury New York lifestyle and high end real estate developments.
Therefore Big Wednesday is teaming up with Donald Trump for a once-in-a-lifetime ‘Trump Up Your Life’ promotion, where a lucky winner and three friends will experience a sublime all-expenses paid trip to New York for a week - plus $100,000 cash for the winner, says NZ Lotteries’ Chief Executive Todd McLeay.
“My home city of New York is a great place and Big Wednesday have put together a fantastic prize for a lucky few from New Zealand to come and live like me for a week. I am sure the winners will enjoy staying at the world famous Trump Soho NYC, eating at my favourite restaurant the Trump Grill NYC, playing golf at my exclusive course Trump National Golf Club/Westchester, New York and I look forward to the possibility of meeting the winner right here in New York City,” said Mr Donald Trump.
The ‘Trump Up Your Life’ promotion winner will win luxury travel to New York for them and three guests for a six night, seven day trip. The winners will stay at the newly opened super luxury Trump Soho Hotel and will also receive $10,000 US spending money each.

In addition, our winner will also have the opportunity to meet Mr Donald Trump himself (subject to his scheduled availability).
“It will certainly be the trip of a lifetime with all the trimmings for the Big Wednesday winner and everything will be organised for them, so the only thing they’ll have to worry about is which three friends or family to take,” says Mr McLeay.

Donald J Trump – Biography (supplied)
Donald J. Trump started his business career in an office he shared with his father, Fred, in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, New York. He worked with his father for five years, where they were busy making deals together. Mr. Trump has stated, “My father was my mentor and I learned a tremendous amount about every aspect of the construction industry from him.” Likewise, Fred C. Trump often stated that “some of my best deals were made by my son, Donald….everything he touches turns to gold.” Mr. Trump then entered the very different world of Manhattan real estate.
In New York City, the Trump signature is synonymous with the most prestigious of addresses. Among them are the world-renowned Fifth Avenue skyscraper, Trump Tower. Luxury residential buildings include Trump World Tower at the United Nations Plaza, Trump Park Avenue at 59th Street and Park Avenue, Trump Place on the Hudson River, and Trump Palace. In 1997, Trump International Hotel & Tower opened its doors to the world, a 52-story super luxury hotel and residential building designed by the famed architect Philip Johnson. The property is one of only three in the country to have received a double Mobil Five-Star rating for both the hotel and its restaurant, Jean- Georges. In 2008, the 92-story Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago opened and was touted by Condé Nast Traveler as the “hottest new hotel in North America.” The Trump Hotel Collection has projects going up around the world and met with tremendous success.
Mr. Trump is also known as a world-class golf course developer, with award-winning courses in New York, New Jersey, Los Angeles (Trump National Golf Clubs), Palm Beach (Trump International Golf Club), Canouan Island in the Grenadines and one in development in Aberdeen, Scotland (Trump International Golf Links) as well as Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Mr. Trump is an avid golfer and his passion is evident in the spectacular courses he has developed and continues to develop worldwide. His latest acquisitions are Trump National Golf Club/Colts Neck, N.J, and Trump National Golf Club, Washington, D.C. which fronts the Potomac River for three miles.
As an accomplished and best selling author, Mr. Trump has had numerous best sellers including The Art of the Deal, which is considered a business classic, The Art of the Comeback, The America We Deserve, How To Get Rich, Think Like a Billionaire, Trump 101, Why We Want You To Be Rich, Think Big, Never Give Up, and Think Like a Champion.
In a departure from his real estate acquisitions, Mr. Trump and the NBC Television Network are partners in the ownership and broadcast rights for the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA Pageants. In January of 2004, Mr. Trump joined forces with Mark Burnett Productions and NBC to produce and star in the television reality show, The Apprentice. The show quickly became #1 on television and is currently in its eighth season. Mr. Trump’s production company, Trump Productions, is based in Los Angeles. Mr. Trump also had a successful radio program on Clear Channel for several years.
Donald J. Trump is the very definition of the American success story. He has continually set new standards of excellence while expanding his interests nationally and internationally. Mr. Trump is personally involved in everything that his name represents. This commitment has made him the pre-eminent developer of quality real estate known around the world, and in all his endeavours the Trump gold standard is apparent. He is the archetypal businessman—a deal maker without peer and an ardent philanthropist.
