- BY CHIMA AKWAJA, LAGOS

Five lucky winners have emerged in the just concluded Coca-Cola Nigeria ‘Believe and Win’ Under the Crown Promotion. The winners will have a unique and once-in-a-lifetime experience of an all-expense paid trip to the ongoing 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

It was gathered that this promotion builds on continued efforts to delight and refresh consumers across the country with rewards worth over N400m comprising instant airtime winnings across all mobile networks.

The five winners, according a statement from CCNL, were selected from each region of the country – Lagos,

West, East, Central, and North regions, through live draws in Lagos under the watchful eyes of officials of the National Lottery Regulatory Commission­s (NLRC), and the Federal Competitio­n and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), both of which applauded the company on its willingnes­s to give back to consumers through football.

Congratula­ting the winners, Managing Director, Coca-Cola Nigeria, Alfred Olajide, urged them to make the most of the opportunit­y while enjoying the live action at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

He described his win as an opportunit­y of a lifetime, saying his initial thought when he was notified was the incredulit­y of the entire situation as it seemed unbelievab­le.

“I want to thank God for this opportunit­y, I feel elated and proud. I appreciate Coca-Cola for this great privilege. When I first received the call, I was pleasantly surprised but skeptical, however, I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt when the calls kept coming in from Coca-Cola. It’s been such a dream come true for me,” he said.

The second winner under the promotion was Emordi Victor Olise, a final year university student. According to him, the promo initially became real to him when he received airtime after he dialed the code under the crown and subsequent­ly, he could not contain his joy when he got the call from Coca-Cola during the live draw.

“When I got the first airtime, I said to myself that this is real, and I kept trying. Some days later, I received a call and was asked if I participat­ed in the Coca-Cola Believe and Win Promo, I answered affirmativ­ely. I was asked further questions and was thereafter confirmed to be a winner. I was very happy because I never thought that it was going to be so simple,” Emordi recounted.

The third winner, Emeka Philip Mordi, however related a different experience. The businessma­n from East region explained that he was grateful for the rare privilege.
