BUENOS AIRES, June 10 : Dozens of Argentines who were denied visas to travel to the United States to see the World Cup will at least have a new free television to watch the games.
Argentine conglomerate Newsan promised to give out local brand Noblex televisions to the first 100 people who lined up on Wednesday outside its Buenos Aires office with paperwork in hand showing they had been denied a visa between January and June of this year to visit the United States.
“Give us your denied visa and take a free TV,” an advertisement on Instagram said.
One of the lucky winners was Tomas Vageller, a 24-year-old professional videogame player.
