Over 186,000 customers have won over KES 12 million worth of prizes, including data bundles and M-PESA cash prizes, within the first month of the promotion.

Nairobi, Kenya – 28th July 2023 … Eric Musyoki Musembi, a 35-year-old Clinical Officer from Machakos County, is the first winner of the KES 1 million monthly grand prize in the ongoing Gomoka na Go Monthly Promotion by Safaricom.

“When I received a call from Safaricom’s official line, 0722 000 000, informing me I had won KES 1 million, I was excited beyond measure. I heard about the promotion in the media, and I participated by purchasing All-in-One bundles and spinning the wheel. I had won data bundles before, but I never expected to win KES 1 million,” said Eric Musyoki.

He says the money will be a great cushion for him during these current challenging economic times. As a firstborn in a family of five, he is tasked with the responsibility of taking care of his aged parents and younger siblings and the money will come in handy when doing that. He will also use the money to finish up personal projects, settle a few debts and possibly start some small income generating activities in their home.
