Her post has earned 10,500 likes so far.
The actress’ tweet has reached filmmaker and director Antoinette Jadaone, who quipped: “Sana pala ang nasabi mo ay mananalo ako ng 3 bedroom condo from Rockwell, emzzz.”
“Next year, direk!!!” Maris responded.
Raffles are usually included in Christmas party programs, where appliances and gadgets typically take the top spot in prize pools.
Dyson, a British home electronics maker, is popular for its innovative vacuum cleaners.
In 2017, the New York Times described it as “in rarefied company alongside Apple as one of the few tech companies worldwide to consistently profit from consumer gadgets.”
It also quoted Tim Bajarin, president of tech consulting firm Creative Strategies.
“It is extremely difficult to make money if you’re not in the premium segment of the market,” he said before.
“That’s what Apple and Dyson have done well — being best in breed for technology and industrial design,” Bajarin added.
