Melcom is marking its three decades of business success by giving away of 30 cars and other consolation prizes, and customers participating in the raffle will have to purchase items worth GH100 and above to qualify for the draw.

The customer will be given a scratch card which reveals a secret code, the customer would then send the secret code to the short code 1788 on all networks to enter the draw to stand a chance of winning one or more of Melcom's 30th anniversary prizes.

Mr Godwin Avenorgbo, Director of Communications, Melcom Group of Companies, described the campaign as a way of expressing gratitude to Ghanaians for their support.

"Is not easy doing business in a market place like this, so for Melcom to have survived, grown to this height, and still growing, we think is because Ghanaians have supported us, and we must give back to society", he said.

Mr Avenorgbo said the raffle was a very special attraction, however, the company was also committed to its corporate social responsibility; supporting communities with education and health interventions.

He said this aims at encouraging people who patronized goods from their shops to know that, when they buy goods and the business grows, they benefit.

Mr Avenorgbo said the promotion was running until 31st August 2019 and there would a presentation of the cars in September, on the other hand, all other prizes could be received at the various Melcom branches.

Speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA), Mr Benedict Martin Mensah, an Information Technology (IT) Professional, who won a car in the first draw, said he shops at Tamale Melcom.

He said he received a call from Melcom that he has won a car, adding that, "I didn't believe it at first, but later on, I was called to take a picture with it, which was later published in the Daily Graphic".

Mr Mensah, who urged other customers to partake in the campaign, told GNA that his car would be presented to him at the grand opening in September, when the promotion ends.
