It was jubilation across the country as four lucky Nigerians joined the growing list of millionaires in Globacom’s Play Up Lottery, a reward initiative that continues to change lives with every draw.
The winners — Engineer Edward Worgu from Port Harcourt, Mr. Akindele Ayenugba from Ondo State, Mr. Esobe Ugwuogo from Imo State, and Mr. Akintayo Boluwatife from Ibadan — each went home with a ₦1 million cash prize, courtesy of the digital solutions giant.
According to a statement by Globacom, the Play Up Lottery is part of the company’s commitment to give back to its loyal subscribers, especially during the festive season. The winners were selected through a transparent raffle draw conducted across various regions, followed by a verification process to confirm ownership of the winning lines.
“Subscribers can continue to participate even after winning, giving them multiple chances to claim more prizes,” the statement read.
For Port Harcourt-based Worgu, the win was nothing short of divine intervention.
“I honestly didn’t believe it at first,” he said. “But after a Glo customer care representative reached out, I decided to verify at their Lagos office. It turned out to be true! My wife is currently hospitalized, and this money will help with her treatment. It’s a miracle I didn’t see coming.”
Similarly, 68-year-old Ayenugba from Ondo State described his experience as “divine.”
“I came all the way from Ondo despite my financial challenges. At first, I was doubtful, but when everyone started congratulating me at the Glo office, I knew it was real. Indeed, God is great.”
From Owerri, 39-year-old Ugwuogo shared how persistence finally paid off.
“I’ve been playing for some time. When I got the call, I was overjoyed. Thank you, Globacom, for bringing happiness into my life. Glo truly delivers on its promises.”
28-year-old Boluwatife from Ibadan added that the win was “life-changing and unforgettable.”
