37 more Areeba subscribers win draw

Accra, April 13, GNA - The second batch of thirty seven Areeba cellular phone subscribers on Thursday won the company's raffle to travel to Germany to cheer Ghana's national team, the Black Stars at the FIFA World Cup tournament in June this year.

The draw which was made on Thursday is the second thus bringing the number of winners so far to 74 out of the 200 subscribers earmarked by Areeba to reward its loyal subscribers. The draws would continue till May 12, this year.

Mr Amanor Dodoo, a representative of KPMG, the events statisticians, who are conducting the draws on behalf of the Areeba Company, said more than 1,056,000 entries out of over one million existing subscribers and 56,000 newly activated lines between March 29 and April 11, were entered for the second draw. The raffle aims to reward 150 pre-paid customers and 50 post-paid clients with an all-expenses paid trip to cheer Ghana's Black Stars in Germany.

Ms Margaret Asare, a resident of Nkawkaw with phone number 0243305652, won the first ticket in the draw held in Accra. Each of the winners would be provided with letters from Areeba to enable them secure visas for the trip while winners who do not intend to travel to Germany could transfer the offer to any subscriber of their choice.

Mr Dodoo said the electronic draws had made the process easier and faster thus giving a fair chance to all participants to be selected.
