The one-year loyal Zain customer says, she never dreamt of winning the Live Your Dream Too promotion. “I was only enjoying good services from Zain. I am stuck to this network because Zain is reliable, fast and convenient. When I was first told the good news, I thought it was a joke, but after many more follow-up calls and when I finally saw the Zain Rewards Team drove into the Tarkwa Government Hospital premises, I knew and believed then that I just became a millionaire,” Anita hinted.
Anita won GH¢35, 000 being the sum of GH¢12,500, GH¢12,500 and GH¢10,000 of her first, second and third magic numbers respectively from the game board.
The enthusiastic crowd including, staff and administration of the hospital, sellers, children, onlookers and the press who gathered at the Tarkwa government hospital, screamed with excitement when a cheque of GH¢35, 000 was presented to Anita Tornyie after she played in the Zain Live Your Dream Too Game show supervised by an auditor from KPMG.
“I am really happy and excited. I don’t even know what to say. GH¢35, 000 is like a dream come true in Disney world. My life has just been turned around in such an amazing way. I will further my education and become the professional nurse that I’ve always dreamt to be. I am grateful to Zain for making this world such a wonderful place for me and my family,” Anita happily expressed after the game show.
Before the Zain Rewards Team drove off, 15 other Zain customers among the crowd were also given the opportunity to play in the Live Your Dream Too game show to win several prices including T-shirts, polo caps, mobile phones and cash prices between GH¢300 – GH¢500.
