In her wildest dream, retail charcoal seller at Dove Cot, Lucy Conteh never envisioned becoming a millionaire overnight. From counting plastic bags of charcoal ready for retail, Lucy will now be counting millions of Leones.
Like a fairy tale, a ‘wheel of fortune’ last Saturday night slowly spun and stopped at Le4 million when a spin was made against Lucy’s mobile number, which was one of the lucky numbers that showed up during an ‘Orange Money Shoki Love’ raffle draw at the SLBC’s studio two. Lucy was dumbfounded when she received the call informing her of her recent fortune.
However, 12 other millionaires were made that evening, including two students; Hydra Amina of Freetown who won Le5 million and Martha in Bo was fortunate to have had a ‘Shoki Box’ and opted for the box instead of what’s inside the box, a Le 4 million pay-out.
She eventually won Le9 million when the box was opened. Alusine, who resides in Rutile, won Le4 million. Isata from Madina in Tonko Limba also won a ‘Shoki Box’ but opted for a pay-out of Le3 million instead of the Le6 million inside the box.
According to the presenters, to partake in the draw one has to do a transaction with Orange Money using #144#.
