Western Lotto Nigeria Limited has gifted N16m to 16,000 customers on its platform in support of the offer by various brand ambassadors to their fans as part of the ongoing Mega Upgrade Promo.
Patrons in the gaming platform got credits of N1000 in their wallets to enable them to participate in the Promo. They would, in turn, play any of the five games on the platform with an additional N2000 to qualify for participation.
“We credited every new person that registered on our platform through our brand ambassadors with N1000 each in their wallet,” Yomi Ogunfowora, the managing director of the company started. “The money is theirs. They can play any of our games with it and could win any amount including jackpots up to N15million”.
Mr Ogunfowora added that the gaming brand decided to collaborate with its brand ambassadors for the cause of assisting eager customers to get on board the promo train. “We understand the challenges of people around the country at the moment, and we want as many participants as possible to qualify for the huge draws. It takes a total spending of N3, 000 on our website to be eligible for the draws, and since we have given N1000 free to new entrants, the user only needs to add his or her own N2000,” he stated.
Brand ambassadors supporting their fans to participate in the Western Lotto Mega Upgrade Promo are Olamide, Ramsey Noauh, and comedian AY (Ayo Makun). Others are Funke Akindele (Jenifa), Odunlade Adekola, Toke Makinwa and Kemi Afolabi. Also assisting their fans to get on the Western Lotto platform are Paul Obazele, TuBaba (Tuface Idibia) and Alexx Ekubo.
Western Lotto is offering N169m cash winnings in the promotion running for one month. One thousand participants would win N50, 000 each, another thousand would win N100, 000 each while 30 lucky persons go home with N500, 000 each. There would be two winners of N2m each and a car each.
