The two-part video, shared by TikTok user @magoldromy, documented an amazing surprise from KFC and Volkswagen (VW) officials and garnered massive views and comments from viewers who celebrated the good news.

The surprise began with a recorded virtual meeting featuring a representative from KFC and another from VW. The female rep referenced a viral clip the woman had posted, eating KFC wings with pizza visible, and justifying her indulgence with the line: “It’s not like R100 will buy you a car or a house.” After the woman laughed, she was informed that her video had won her a brand-new Polo Vivo. The emotional weight of the news was immediate; the woman was seen reaching for a tissue in her car, tears welling up.

The R100 viral video

The emotional weight of the news was immediate; the woman was seen reaching for a tissue in her car, tears welling up. The good news didn't end there. TikTok user @magoldromy was informed that she had won not one, but a total of 31 Polo Vivos. She would be tasked with giving away the cars to customers who purchased KFC buckets of nine pieces or more.

She was also named the face of the official December KFC campaign, a piece of news that visibly excited her. Part two of the video showed the representatives arriving to give her the prize. She was handed the 31 keys, all placed on one massive keyring. Overcome with joy, she shook the keyring as someone in the background shouted, reminding her that those were all her cars.

SA reacts with excitement to the surprise

Social media users flooded the comments section, congratulating the lucky winner. Many viewers were eager to know how to enter the competition, hoping to win one of the 31 Polos. Others admitted the video got them emotional, stating that Grace had located her. The most widespread praise was directed at the two giant companies, with many calling the team-up a PR stunt that matters, for recognising and elevating an ordinary person.
