Last week, my colleagues and I travelled to Machakos town to meet and have a word with Erick Musyoka, the first winner of Ksh.1 Million in the ongoing Safaricom promotion – Gomoka na Go Monthly. Gomoka na Go Monthly promotion was launched last month to reward customers with various prizes ranging from data bundles, instant cash prizes of between 250 bob and 10,000 bob via Mpesa, and a grand prize of Ksh.1 Million every month. At the same time, Safaricom also revamped its monthly All-In-One, Post-Pay & Data Bundles plans, ensuring that customers can enjoy more data for less, cushioning them against the current challenging economic times.
Erick who got to know about the promotion through social media and through a billboard he saw in Machakos had spun the wheel several times and won data bundles. But never in his wildest dreams did he think he could emerge winner of the monthly jackpot of Ksh.1 Million. When he received the call from Safaricom’s official number 0722 000 000, he was very excited but still skeptical until a second call came in with more details on how he could go about collecting his windfall.
Erick who works as a clinical officer at a local NGO in Machakos says that the money could not have come at a better time. As a first born in a family of 5, his family looks upto him and he will be able to sort quite a bit of pressing matters especially for his aging parents. Among his other plans on how he’ll spend the winnings are tithe, debt clearance and starting a business. He will also treat himself to something special to appreciate the magnitude of his luck.
To anyone who has not yet tried spinning the wheel on Gomoka Go Monthly promotion, he says that he is a living example that it works and that anyone can be a winner.
