PHOTOS: First Set Of Legend’s Dubai-Bound Winners Emerge

The first Raffle Draw for the 2014 edition of Legend Extra Stout’s National Consumer Promo was held last week at the O’Jez Restaurant, Surulere amidst fun and fanfare. Seventy-four year old pensioner and widower, Jubilee Diagboya was among the 10 consumers who won the grand prize of a trip to Dubai for a N1 million worth, all-expense paid shopping experience in the United Arab Emirates.

Narrating how he entered for the Draw, an elated Pa Jubilee, who has been living on N4,400 monthly pension since 2001 explained that earlier in the week while he was at a bar in his neighborhood in Surulere, some people approached and encouraged him and his friends to drink Legend Extra Stout to get a ticket for a raffle draw coming up later.

He said, “I was at a bar with my friends a few days ago when some people approached us and asked us to drink Legend Extra Stout. They then gave us; my friends and I, raffle tickets which they said would enable us participate in the on-going promo that would give us a chance to go to Dubai to shop. That is how I came here tonight.”

Asked if he expected to win the Dubai ticket that evening, Pa Jubilee, who said he had started bragging that he was going to Dubai, confessed that he did not really expect to win a ticket.

He said: “Although I had bragged to my people that I will go to Dubai, I didn’t really think I would win and at a point I was almost leaving, but suddenly I heard my name and number and I didn’t know when I stood up and walked up the stage.”

The highlight of the evening was the surprise emergence of hip hop artistes, Terry G and Naeto C, who presented Pa Jubilee with his dummy ticket. 

They duo then rendered electrifying performances of some of their hit tracks to the delight of the audience present.

Some of the lucky consumers that emerged from other parts of the country are: Nwala Simon and Aliuhuo Vivian Chinasa, both from Imo State, BisharaYohanna from Sokoto, Ernest FavourNzelu from Abuja, Okon John Sampson from Akwabom State and KazeemSadikuGbenga from Ogun State.

In addition, Legend Extra Stout is also giving out instant airtime worth N300 million. To qualify for this, consumers should check under the crown cork and text the code to 31077, to receive N200 worth of airtime.
