In a groundbreaking win for Sierra Leone, 28-year-old Mohamed Jalloh, a final-year student at Freetown Polytechnic, has become the first-ever winner of Mercury International’s Online Jackpot 1×2 promotion. He took home an impressive US$22,758.91, which is equivalent to NLe 607,662.90, after placing a modest bet of just NLe 5, approximately US$1.90.
Mohamed Jalloh, who has been an avid player of Mercury International for over four years, expressed his excitement about the win, saying: “I’ve had small wins before, but nothing close to this jackpot. When I logged into my account and saw the winnings, I was absolutely speechless. I couldn’t even sleep that night. It wasn’t until I visited Mercury International’s office that it really hit me—I had won big!”
While Mohamed Jalloh is still contemplating how to spend his prize money, he noted that his decision would be made with the guidance of his mother. “It’s a life-changing amount and I want to make sure I use it wisely,” he added.
At the official cheque presentation ceremony held at Mercury International’s headquarters on Krootown Road, Freetown, the company’s Deputy Online Manager, Octavus Jackson, congratulated Mohamed Jalloh on his historic win. He urged him to make thoughtful decisions with his new fortune and encouraged other Mercury International customers to take advantage of the company’s ongoing promotions.
In his speech, Octavus Jackson stated: “Mohamed Jalloh’s win is proof that Mercury International’s platform is not only genuine but also a life-changing opportunity for Sierra Leoneans. Our systems are transparent and payments are prompt, with no delays. We encourage others to participate and explore the chances Mercury International offers.”
Mohamed Jalloh’s stunning victory came after correctly predicting all 15 outcomes in the 1×2 football betting promo, including Leicester City’s thrilling last-minute comeback against Southampton. The match, which saw Leicester overturn a 2-0 deficit in the 98th minute, was the final key to unlocking his life-altering prize.
Before receiving his cheque, Mohamed Jalloh had a message for those who may doubt the legitimacy of such wins: “Mercury International is a real game-changer. This isn’t just a company making promises—it’s a system that works. Payments are made without delay and they’re creating real opportunities for people, even offering jobs to the unemployed.”
Mohamed Jalloh’s triumph serves as an inspiration to many other hopeful bettors, demonstrating that with a small investment, significant returns are possible. His story is a testament to the excitement and potential rewards offered by Mercury International’s online betting platform.
The Mercury International Online Jackpot 1×2 promotion continues to provide an opportunity for participants to predict football match outcomes and win big. For now, Mohamed Jalloh will be remembered as the first in Sierra Leone to win such a massive prize, marking a milestone in the company’s history.
