The telecommunications giant went a notch higher with the grand prize for the ongoing 2Moorch Money promo by upping it to a historic GH¢1.2 million, and about GH¢4.2 million in total wins up for grabs in the daily, weekly and final prizes.

The cash rewards campaign promised to change lives across the country, and it has. Every week since June, daily and weekly winners from small towns and cities have stepped forward with stories that inspire.

In Berekum, steel bender Lot Donkor wept as he received his prize. “Telecel has changed my life. This is a reward for my loyalty since the OneTouch days,” he said. From Takoradi, Maureen Bus-Moses, a national service person, shocked her family when she showed them GH¢20,000 in her Telecel Cash account. “I couldn’t believe it until I saw the alert,” she recounted.

In Tema, clearing agent Paul Owusu refused to believe it at first. In a frantic effort, he double-checked numbers, called Telecel hotlines, and even stormed the retail shop to verify before accepting his prize. “It’s real. I’ve invested most of it already,” he said days after receiving the cash prize.

In Sunyani, nurse Daniel Asiedu initially feared he was being lured into a ritual scheme. His suspicion melted only when GH¢20,000 hit his wallet live at the prize presentation. Within weeks, he bought land for his dream home. “I used to doubt promos, but this is real. Telecel has given me hope.”

There was also Felicia Konde, a 22-year-old student in Kpandai, who now has her tuition covered and investment capital to expand her family’s bakery. And in Kumasi, Benjamin Nana Hagan, fresh from national service, called his win “God’s favour” as he plans for graduate school with the money.

And perhaps the most touching moment came from the oldest winner, 76-year-old Abdallah Salifu in Tamale. “The moment I heard the news, my leg pain disappeared,” he joked.

By end of September, the promo had rewarded about 13,700 people across all 16 regions of Ghana in daily and weekly prizes, sharing almost GH¢3 million in total with only the GH¢1.2 million jackpot up for grabs.

Every day of the promo since 10^th June, 120 people won GH¢100, up to eight winners took home GH¢20,000 weekly. The daily and weekly winners came from all walks of life: students, traders, farmers, health workers, retirees, corporate workers and craftspeople as well as every generation from Gen Z to septuagenarians.

With the Telecel 2Moorch Money nearing homestretch of about a week to the final draw and the announcement of the winner of the GH¢1.2 million grand prize, the biggest question is: who will be the luckiest Telecel customer and the newest millionaire?

Joining the promo is easy and free, customers can dial *500#, text WIN to 500, or use the Telecel Play App to opt in. Every recharge, bundle, or Telecel Cash transaction beyond GH¢5 after opting in counts as an entry and Telecel Cash transactions even double the chances.

Aneth Muga, Director of Consumer Business at Telecel Ghana, summed it up: “We’ve observed hundreds of Ghanaians scream, cry, laugh and go blank when we announced that they’ve won the daily and weekly prize and it’s heartwarming to know most of them have invested the winnings in their future. The 2Moorch Money Promo is about rewarding loyalty, spreading wealth and changing lives.  The best is yet to come with our grand prize draw.”

From Kasoa to Tamale, anticipation is being built. One lucky Telecel customer will walk away with GH¢1.2 million, a grand prize that will certainly change their life forever.

Now, with just days left before the grand draw, a single question holds the nation to ransom: Who will become Ghana’s newest millionaire? Your guess is as good as mine and may the odds be ever in your favour.
