Win Big Promotion brand ambassador musician Onesmus says the promotion has economically empowered Malawians since its launch in March.
The musician said this in Lilongwe on Thursday when the company handed over the grand prize, a Mazda Demio, to Emmanuel Simkonda from Jenda in Mzimba District.
Said Onesmus: “It’s positively impacting the economic lives of people. One does not need to go through complex processes. You can just dial *474# for personal tickets and *474100# for purchasing a ticket for a friend.
“People are really benefitting and you could see the happiness on people’s faces during presentation.”
In an interview, Simkonda, a shop owner at Jenda, said the car will enhance his business.
“This was the ninth attempt in this promotion and I am excited to have won the big prize. It’s something you dream about, but don’t expect. This vehicle will assist me in my business. I urge those who were doubting to enter the promotion.”
As of Thursday, two cars, 12 motorbikes, 12 Samsung Plasma 43 inch television sets with decoders, 174 smartphones and 116 bicycles were presented to winners. In addition, 11 people won K1 million each.
The promotion is being run by Rwanda-owned company London Winners.
The competition’s highest award is a Mazda Demio that is given out every month for six months. So far, two cars have been won.
