Four Telecel Ghana customers have been awarded a combined GH¢20,000 in monthly cash prizes as the 15th cycle of the Telecel Dream Car Promo enters its final weeks. The promotion is building anticipation for its grand finale at the end of August, where one lucky participant will drive away in a brand-new SUV.

I wasn’t sure if it was real at first. My senior brother encouraged me to give it a try since he had already tried it. I started answering the daily trivia every time. I am surprised and happy because I wasn’t expecting it at all.

— Selvin Nana Takyi OtooExpressing his surprise and initial doubts about the promotion.

The monthly winners, Selvin Nana Takyi Otoo, Benjamin Tackie, Mensah Hage Appiah, and Gideon Klu, received GH¢10,000, GH¢5,000, GH¢3,000, and GH¢2,000 respectively. Prize presentations took place in Takoradi and Accra.

Selvin Nana Takyi Otoo, who received the largest prize of GH¢10,000, shared his initial skepticism about the promotion's authenticity. Encouraged by his elder brother, he participated by answering daily trivia questions. "I am surprised and happy because I wasn’t expecting it at all," he said. The 19-year-old senior high school graduate, who is currently assisting his mother with her bakery business while awaiting tertiary admission, believes the prize money will significantly support his educational pursuits.

Having finished SHS and applied for tertiary school, this money will be a huge help to me. I would encourage everyone to participate in the promo and keep trying. Everyone has their own luck, so don’t give up.

Other winners attributed their participation to curiosity, confidence, and an interest in general knowledge. Benjamin Tackie, a GH¢5,000 winner from Accra, stated that his passion for general trivia gave him confidence. "My confidence was a 10 out of 10, so winning didn’t surprise me at all, and I’ll be back for the grand prize. This is 100 per cent real and open to all, so I encourage everyone to give it a try," he remarked.
