Africell Sierra Leone held a grand prize presentation ceremony at its headquarters in Wilberforce, Freetown, on Friday, October 18, 2024, to honor the latest winners of its Win Kopo promotion. The ceremony saw Isatu A. Kamara receiving the monthly prize of NLe 15,000, while Hassan Kamara walked away with the grand prize of NLe 150,000.
The Win Kopo Promotion Show Presenter, Fatmata Jaria Bah, explained the mechanics of the promotion during the ceremony. “The Win Kopo Promotion Show is just one of Africell’s ongoing promotions, with over NLe 1,000,000 in total prizes to be won,” she stated. She highlighted that the prizes are divided into various categories, including Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Quarterly rewards.
For subscribers to participate, Fatmata Jaria Bah outlined that simply topping up their phones gives them automatic entry for a chance to win the daily prize, with higher top-ups increasing their winning odds. To qualify for the weekly, monthly and quarterly prizes, Africell subscribers need to subscribe and dial the short code *4848#, where they can answer trivia questions. “The more questions you answer correctly, the higher your chance of winning,” she added.
Nancy L. Turay, Africell’s Event Manager, assured attendees of the transparency of the draw process. “The draw is conducted electronically, making it credible and fair. Everyone who participates has a chance to win,” she said. She also encouraged non-subscribers to consider joining Africell to take advantage of the various opportunities and benefits the company offers.
During the prize presentation, Isatu A. Kamara, winner of the monthly prize, expressed her initial disbelief upon receiving the winning call. “At first, I thought it was a scam,” she recounted. “But after a follow-up call requesting my presence at the head office, I realized it was real. Today, I am here to collect my prize.” She urged fellow Africell subscribers to continue topping up their phones to increase their chances of becoming the next lucky winner, while encouraging non-users to switch to Africell.
Mohamed Kamara, who took home the grand prize, shared his long-standing loyalty to Africell, spanning over 13 to 14 years. Despite not having won any prizes during that time, he expressed immense gratitude for this opportunity. “I am deeply thankful to Africell and to God for this life-changing event. It will have a significant positive impact on my life and the future of my family,” he remarked.
Africell’s Win Kopo promotion continues to make a difference in the lives of its subscribers, offering various avenues for customers to win prizes while maintaining transparency and fairness in its selection process. With over NLe 1,000,000 in prizes up for grabs, many look forward to future draws with renewed hope and enthusiasm.
