Nestle Ghana Limited, manufacturers of food beverages, has presented prizes to six of its loyal customers who emerged winners in its MILO Go for Goals promotion.
They are Yaw Abroad and Augustine Boamah, who won the ultimate prizes of airline tickets to watch the South Africa 2010 World Cup with spending money of $1,000 each.
They were followed by Francis Somuah and Vida Ashiatey, who won a 32-inch LCD television set each.
Juliana Ohenewaa and Kelvin Vanlare took home a set of home theatre each as their prizes for participating in the grand draw of the promotion.
During the presentation in Accra, the Managing Director of Nestle Ghana Limited, Samer Chedid, indicated that the promotion, which started in November 2009 and ended in January this year, was part of the company’s way of rewarding its loyal customers.
He said the turnout of participants from different parts of the country testified to how Ghanaians patronised products of the company.
He encouraged all to continue patronising Milo, among other products of the company, to win more prizes, as well as attain good health.
“We had over 250,000 entries during the period of the promotion and many instant prizes such as school bags, travelling bags, water bottles, footballs, among others, have been given out at our retail joints already,” he said.
The MILO Go for Goals promotion required customers of Milo food beverage to submit two tin alufoils of the 400gm size or four of its 200gm sachets at any of its redemption points.
One was also to scratch a scratch board to win instant prizes or complete a coupon to enter the grand draw of the promotion.
Fourteen-year old Vanlare, who won a set of home theatre, told the Daily Graphic that he entered the draw when he read the newspapers, adding, ”I was confident I would win and that was why I decided to participate.”
