The commercial hub of Duala on Bushrod Island was a scene of attraction and surprises over the weekend as several mobile money subscribers of Liberia’s leading GSM company Lonestar Cell MTN through its mega promo program “MoMo Waysay-Wasa version 2 week three” gave away USD$5,000.00 cash prizes and items to lucky customers and agents in several parts of Liberia.
The selection was done through a raffle draw which was week three since the program was launched. This time it was at the Lonestar Cell MTN branch in the commercial city of Duala in the presence of representatives of the National Lottery Authority (NLA).
In his welcoming remarks at the program, Mr. Prince Chesson, Product, and Services Manager at Lonestar Cell MTN told the gathering that it was a great day for Lonestar Cell MTN customers and agents.
He said after the company had launched the Waysaywasa version 2 two weeks ago and conducted its first draw at the company’s central offices in Congo Town, with people from Montserrado, Nimba, and other counties winning cash prizes and items, it was another raffle draw for mobile money users to again walk away with several valuable prizes.
“That is what Lonestar Cell MTN MoMo Waysaywasa is all about. Anything you win from Lonestar MTN MoMo Waysaywasa 2 you don’t have to pay anything for it, because people will take advantage of this to call you and say you won a prize but before you receive it you should send money or your pin to them, don’t do it. You don’t pay for anything you win from Lonestar MTN. When you win from MoMo Waysaywasa we will call you on 0886500000” we were in Red Light this gone Friday and today we are here again to do the same. , Mr. Prince Chesson, Product, and Services Manager at Lonestar Cell MTN issued an empathy warning.
In brief remarks, National Lottery Authority (NLA) Monitor, Odicious B. Massaquoi said the MoMo Waysaywasa campaign is so interesting that people continued to express their smiles, adding that the presence of the NLA is to make sure that the winners receive their prizes. He noted that the MoMo Waysaywasa is not about 419 and cautioned people to answer when they are called. “Please when you are selected answer your calls. Lonestar MTN does not want money from you, the only valuable thing you bring is your identification card to collect your prize.”
At the raffle draw held on Friday, July 16, 2022, 33 customers won cash prizes of USD$ 50 dollars each, from each of the selected counties including Gbarpolu, Nimba, Grand Kru Montserrado County at which time during the draw, a female customer subscriber also won brand new Techno smartphone while at the same time other customers from Nimba County and Monrovia respectively won the two TVS motorbikes.
