Subscribers who won in the Glo Lucky Number game have received their prizes at a presentation ceremony held in Lagos. The prizes ranged from N1m to N100,000.
Globacom’s Head of Value Added Services disclosed that the Lucky Number game is for everyone on the Glo network. Said he: “Customers can subscribe in two ways. The first is to dial the USSD code *4445# and follow the instructions. They can also text WIN or WINOT (daily), LW or LWOT (Weekly), LM or LMOT (Monthly) to the short code 4445”.
In all, seventeen lucky subscribers who made the first set of winners received cash prizes ranging from N100,000 to N1,000,000 while winners outside Lagos got theirs at designated locations across Nigeria. Globacom said just many more Glo subscribers would emerge winners in the weeks and months ahead.
The daily draw game was created in collaboration with NCC-licensed Aggregator, Pisimobile, and VAS Provider, Yellowdot. Subscribers’ mobile numbers are automatically entered into a random selection process while the winning numbers must sequentially match a randomly selected number from the pool of active Glo subscribers, matched from right to left.
