More than 3 Million Safaricom customers have won prizes worth over KES 200 Million as promotion enters seventh week

Steve Ngoje, an engineering student at Moi University, is the latest winner of KES 1 million in the ongoing Shukrani Kochokocho Kenya Nzima promotion.

The 23-year-old Electronics and Electrical Engineering student is in his last semester of his studies at the Kesses Campus. He says the money will help him settle after his education. He plans to pay for his Master’s Program in Electrical Engineering and take care of his sister’s education.

“I am very happy to have won a million shillings at this stage of my life.  I am completing my undergraduate studies with a promising beginning thanks to Shukrani Kochokocho promotion. I am going to enroll for a Master’s Program in Electrical engineering as soon as I get my results to further my studies. The money will also go a long way in advancing my younger sister’s university education,” said Ngoje.

From a humble background, he was born and bred in Kamagambo, Migori County. He is the fourth born in a family of five and has two sisters and two brothers. Their education has been a struggle due to financial constraints.

Other week six millionaires include: Kangwere Mutemi, a 68-year old farmer from Kitui County, Eastern Region; Consolata Gakuhi Njoroge, 43, who works at a flower farm in Thika, Central Kenya region; Bramwel Osogol Emongole from Bungoma, Western region; Jared Mwai Kichia from Migori, Nyanza Region and Keziah Wambui Irungu from Githurai, Nairobi Region. Coast and North Eastern winners will be announced in the coming week once the winners are reached.

Close to four million customers across the country have been awarded with weekly cash and daily airtime prizes worth over KES 200 million shillings as the promotion enters its seventh week.

“We are proud to share stories of week six winners today. Ngoje’s story is a true testament of how lives can be transformed and we celebrate these stories with joy. We also hope to see more Kenyans become millionaires as the promotion nears its end.  Keep toping up and transacting on M-PESA for a chance to be our next winner,” said Sylvia Mulinge, Chief Customer Officer, Safaricom

The promotion is designed to have weekly draws for each of the eight regions to reward customers.

In addition, more than 500,000 customers are expected to win cash prizes of KES 1,000 and above while more than 5 million other customers stand to win daily airtime prizes.
