March 8, 2011, Accra: The sixth draw of the Airtel Freedom To Dream promotion produced amazing results with two customers winning the highest cash prize of GHC25,000 each. This feat, the first to be registered since the start of the promotion, was chalked by 25-year-old Rahman Ahmed, a Kumasi based auto mechanic and 26-year-old Michael Koah, a radio presenter with Maxx FM in the Western Region.
Two weeks ago, Muhammad Abass, a Pakistani engineer working on the Bui Dam project won the first of the GHC 25,000 cash prizes. This brings to three the number of winners who have unveiled that amount of cash prize.

While Rahman Ahmed intends investing his prize money in a business venture, Michael Koah hopes to support his brother’s university education as well as improve upon his present circumstances through further studies.
The other lucky winners for the week included Stephen Kwaah, a Kumasi-based businessman who won GHC7, 500. Joseph Nartey, a driver in Kumasi, Abdul Salam Iddi of Accra and Oppong Samuel from Kasoa each took home GHC5,000 while Ellen Mensah, a caterer in Tema and Paul Sefa of Nkawkaw also went away with GHC2,500 each.
