Dickson Wandera, a father of two based in Nairobi, has secured the second KES 1 million grand prize in Safaricom’s Gomoka na Go monthly promotion.
Wandera, an executive driver, plans to open his own electrical products business and a nail spa and salon for his wife with the prize money. He will also invest in his children’s future.
“I am a frequent purchaser of the Gomoka na Go monthly bundles as I use them to browse online, watch videos, read articles and listen to music,” Wandera said. “I was very excited to learn that I won KES 1 million as it will transform my life and that of my family.”
Safaricom launched the promotion in June to empower customers with affordable data packages and enriched minutes plans. Prizes include data bundles and instant M-PESA cash prizes up to KES 10,000, with a KES 1 million grand prize each month.
“We are happy at Safaricom when we can impact our customers’ lives so they can reach their aspirations,” said Peter Ndegwa, Safaricom CEO.
So far, more than 426,310 customers have won prizes since June. The promotion runs until Sept. 28. Customers can purchase monthly plans on USSD, online or the mySafaricom app, then spin a prize wheel.
