MOBILE telecoms services provider Telecel Zimbabwe has launched an SMS-based promotion that gives its subscribers the chance to win up to a total of $5 million in prizes over a three month period.

The promotion — Lucky Number — works by using the last seven digits of a subscriber’s mobile number as a virtual lottery entry ticket.

The lottery centred SMS promotion is based on random selection and over a three month period subscribers who have opted in stand a chance to win provided the last seven digits of their mobile number match the numbers randomly drawn for the day by the gaming system.

The numbers matched should be in the exact sequence as the one generated by the system.

Telecel participants matching the last six digits from right to left of their mobile number win $5 000 while those matching the last five numbers get $500. Participants matching the last four digits down to two digits get airtime valued at $10, $5 and $1 respectively.

The promotion will run for an initial period of three months. Telecel said in the event that there is no match for the seven digit number which guarantees $50 000 prize money, participants who match six, five, four, three or even two numbers still stand a chance to win consolation prizes.
