Here is the interview with the winner ⤵️
Q: Hello Madam, you are one of the 3 lucky winners of Africa Millions on Saturday 28 January 2023. You pocketed 23 million FCFA! Can you introduce yourself in a few words?
A: I am 29 years old, I am married and I have a small business in a neighbourhood in Bamako.
Q: How did you hear about Africa Millions?
A: I discovered Africa Millions because I saw a draw on Malian television.
Q: Did you used to play?
A: Yes, I used to play through USSD or in an agency near my home.
Q: Why did you play at that particular time?
A: The day before the draw I received a message on my phone. That day I had a total of 2,000 francs and I was in a very uncomfortable situation. I prayed and said to God: “You know my situation, you have never left a soul in pain. You alone can get me out of this situation, I beg you my lord, help me, I will be grateful to you all my life”.
I then went to bed.
The next day I had an urgent errand in town and as I passed the agency I thought I would try my luck, I went into the agency, chose my numbers, took my ticket and left.
Q: How did you find out that you had won?
A: The next day after the draw, I received a message telling me that I had won. I didn’t believe it, I went back to the agency and that’s when they confirmed that I had won.
When I heard the amount, I thought it was a dream. To this day I still don’t believe it.
Q: What were your first emotions?
A: It was a mixture of incomprehension, happiness and fear, but mostly joy and a lot of relief.
Q: What dreams do you want to achieve with it?
A: I want to rebuild my father’s house, which is not in good condition, and invest in my business.
Q: What message would you like to pass on to others?
A: I would like to thank all the people who work for Africa Millions, they help us to realise our dreams! I ask people who doubt it not to do so. It is a product that really exists, people are winning! Look at me, today I am about to change my life!
It is obviously a matter of luck, but believe in yourself and in God. Try your luck through USSD or an agency and one day you will be in my shoes!
Thank you Africa Millions!
