This is a term used repeatedly in prize draw entry literature. I understand the meaning, basically 'ultimate customer' but cannot think of a more catchy English version.
'Super/Ultimate Customer draw' is what I've come up with so far, but was wondering if anyone could think of anything else?

| Hi Marc, I'm sorry, I didn't spot that you were the one who didn't have a typo, I just quickly picked the one higher up on the page. Next time there's a 'snap' I'll pick you! |
