It was fun and excitement as the first set of winners in the Glo Let�s Go To Brazil promo were unveiled to the public at a ceremony in Accra on Wednesday.
At the event, Globacom presented four winners with their symbolic boarding passes to confirm their trip to watch Ghana matches live in Brazil next month. The winners, who came with friends and family members, could not contain their joy. The fifth winner will also be presented with his prize after validation.
Joshua Opong, a car dealer in Accra, said he thought he was in for a huge joke when his number was called to break the news.
�I did not take them serious, I thought someone was out to make fun of me when your people called me,� he said at the event held at the Glo Shop, Ring Road, Accra. �Glo, you are simply the best�, he said.
On his part, Alassane Diarra, a Malian who came to Accra years ago to study English Language, felt very lucky that out of over 25 million people in the country, his number could pop up. Said he: �I am most excited to have been picked from among the over 25 million people in the country�.
Alassane, who plans to stay in Ghana and trade between the country and his native Mali, was full of praises to Globacom for fulfilling the promise to take subscribers to Brazil, adding that he was already looking forward to the trip to Brazil.
The story of Richmond Dzade, a former student of EP University in Ho, was also exciting. When he was informed that he had won, he was quick to ask if he could exchange the trip for cash. Less than 24 hours after, he was no longer interested in that option. He wished to be in Brazil.
�I asked questions around and read up some bits about the tournament coming up in Brazil. I quickly changed my mind. It is going to be an awesome experience to be in Brazil and I don�t want to miss this rare opportunity, courtesy of Glo�, he said.
