French term or phrase: Clientissime
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?
