Third-year accounting student Sean Pereira thought he was meeting with the Brock University Students’ Union to talk about promoting his accounting club Wednesday.

What he didn’t realize was the meeting was actually the surprise announcement that Pereira had been selected as the winner of the first-ever Brock’s Luckiest Student contest.

The contest, run in conjunction with the national Student Life Network, received more than 1,200 entries from Brock students.

As the grand prize winner, Pereira won a $1,000 tuition credit, a Brock Box laptop package, a $250 Campus Store gift certificate, a $100 Isaac’s gift certificate, a GoPro camera, an instant camera and Netflix gift certificates.
