Glo Makes Millionaires In Lucky Number Game

A total 17 lucky subscribers who constituted the first set of winners in Glo Lucky Number Game have been rewarded with cash prizes ranging fromN100,000 to N1,000,000.

The winners received their prizes at a presentation ceremony in Lagos while winners outside Lagos got their cheques at designated locations across Nigeria. Many more Glo subscribers are expected to emerge winners in the weeks and months ahead.
