Speaking in an interview with the media, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Genius Loci, organisers of the Luckiest draw, Dennis Adutwum said the raffle which started three years ago has recorded significant number of participants this year.
According to him, after its July, 2025 launch, the Luckiest commercials were played on almost every platform as part of efforts to engage all Ghanaians.
Mr. Adutwum also noted that the raffle which recorded about 170,000 in its first year has improved in its third year recording almost a million entries in its third year year.
He said the seasonal draw which runs from July to December does not only reward participants with cash prizes but has touched lives through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives since its inception.
“All the money that we have been able to raise, a chunk of it is going back to the communities for our Corporate Social Responsibilities. Half of whatever we raised goes back as winnings to the general public and to the communities”
“It has been an amazing this year, we had about 400,000 people coming on the platform last year, this year, we had over 850,000 people engaging on our platform and engaged multiple times” he stated
