Winners’ comment
Samuel Obeng Amoako praised Airtel Ghana for introducing the promotion. He said “This is the most rewarding promo I have ever participated in. To think that I get GHC 10,000 just by recharging sounds too good to be true. But it is. I will keep playing for the grand prize of GHC 150,000. I will encourage Airtel customers who want to win like me to recharge using Airtel money as doing so gives them double points”.
Sherriff Jackson intends to invest his prize money into his graphic design business. “I will invest my GHC 10,000 into expanding my business”.
