Some winners receiving their prizes
Since its launch in June this year, the Telecel M’ahitti Promo has brought economic relief to thousands of people across Ghana, with more than GH¢2 million awarded through one GH¢1 million monthly prize, as well as daily and weekly prizes.
In the final week of September, Anita Addo, a mother of four and Kumasi-based entrepreneur who has been a Telecel customer for just over a year, emerged as a weekly winner.
She said she began receiving SMS messages about the promo after its launch and eventually opted in, although she had little expectation of winning.
When she received the call announcing her win, she initially dismissed it. Unsure whether it was genuine, she visited a nearby Telecel office, where the Executive Head confirmed she was indeed a winner.
The GH¢20,000 prize came at a crucial time for her family as the new school year began. Her eldest child recently gained admission to university, and she also needed to pay fees and provide school supplies for her other children.
“This is an answer to my prayers. I had no idea how I was going to pay the fees and provide all their other school necessities. I am very grateful to Telecel, and I encourage everyone to participate in its promotions because they are genuine,” she said.
In the Oti Region, Leslie Johnson Adams, a Jasikan-based teacher and Telecel customer of about 10 years, also won GH¢20,000, which was credited to his Telecel Cash wallet.
Like many weekly winners, his initial reaction was disbelief. “It felt as though I was dreaming because I have been praying for funds to install a solar power system in my home on the outskirts of Jasikan. This win is indeed a blessing,” he said.
Reflecting on the impact of the prize, he urged Telecel to continue initiatives that provide meaningful financial support to customers.
“Telecel should continue running promotions like this because people face real challenges, and gestures such as these go a long way towards helping them,” he added.
Executive Head for the Eastern, Oti and Volta Regions, Alex Kwapong, said seeing the promo change lives every week brings immense joy to the company.
“Seeing the Telecel M’ahitti Promo change lives every week brings us immense joy. This is the value we aim to deliver to our customers through the promotion. We still have two monthly GH¢1 million prizes to award, along with many more weekly and daily prizes,” he said.
The two latest wins add to the growing number of beneficiaries since the launch. To date, one customer has won the GH¢1 million monthly prize, with two more monthly winners yet to emerge. More than 30 weekly winners have each received GH¢20,000, while over 6,000 customers have each won the daily GH¢100 prize.
