The Ten Million Naira winner, Amgbare, a Civil Servant in Delta State, while receiving his prize, expressed profound joy and excitement at his new fortune.
Amgbare, who said he still felt he was dreaming, said that Zain had given him the best New Year’s gift ever. He said that he thought it was a prank call when he first received the call informing him of his winnings, but constant calls from Zain staff and the fact that his account details were not asked for, convinced him that the news was, indeed, genuine.

He said that he would use his prize money to settle down, get a land in his village in Kebbi state and establish a profitable business.
Dada Adewale Akeem, a Baker with a small scale company, another N1000000 winner, was sceptical about his winnings up till the morning of the event before leaving his house.
