A REAL estate worker from Anambra State, Olieh Somtochukwu, has secured N1 million in the Glo Jolly Win promo, making him to emerge as the first winner.
His victory brings excitement to other participants across Nigeria.
The Glo Jolly Win promo allows subscribers to win cash prizes or airtime by answering trivia questions or spinning a wheel.
Organized by Globacom, this lottery service is operated with NCC-licensed partners, Nitroswitch and Tetragrammaton.
The first lucky winner, Somtochukwu, who played with only N100, emerged in August after a transparent draw monitored by the National Lottery Regulatory Commission.
The winner, who traveled from Onitsha, was awarded his prize at a Lagos ceremony.
Somtochukwu expressed his amazement after receiving the N1 million alert on his phone before the event concluded.
He described how the funds arrived just when he needed financial support for medical expenses.
He said, “I thought it was a scam at first, but after receiving the money, I’m overjoyed and still in disbelief.”
Globacom’s VAS Department emphasized that the Glo Jolly Win promo offers customers a simple, fun, and exciting way to win without needing to download anything or use additional phone storage.
For as low as N100 per day, participants can select from options like Jolly Trivia, Wheel, Win & Life, which offer a chance to win prizes through trivia or by spinning a wheel.
This service makes it easy for Nigerians to potentially become millionaires like the recent winner.
Nitroswitch, one of the partners in the Glo Jolly Win initiative, provides essential infrastructure to deliver the lottery service.
It integrates third-party content, including lottery services, to mobile network operators in Nigeria, ensuring that Glo subscribers can easily access these services.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Chidi Nnadozie expressed pride in the collaboration with Globacom, which has brought rewards to many users.
Tetragrammaton, the owner of the Jolly Suite lottery services, is responsible for providing additional value-added services.
Also, it offers entertainment and gaming services, along with the lottery, to mobile subscribers through Nitroswitch’s aggregation platform.
Subscribers are urged to join the Glo Jolly Win by dialing *20152# or sending specific codes—JWD, JWW, or JWM—to 20152.
