After the draw, Jeminiwa said  that Globacom had exhibited absolute transparency in the  conduct of the draws. “No mix up, no manipulations,” he said.

Speaking at the event, Globacom’s Executive Director, Legal Services, Gladys Talabi, said  the draw was in fulfilment of the company’s pledge at the launch of the promo season II   two weeks ago.

She explained that Globacom in the first season had taken more than 70 subscribers to an  all-expenses-paid trip to Manchester City to watch live matches of Manchester. United  Football Club, and this season the prize bouquet has been enhanced.

“We decided to increase the prizes in Season II in order to give as many subscribers as  possible the opportunity to benefit from the promo and make it a win-win for all fans,”  Talabi explained.

Winners of the various prizes are being contacted and will receive their prizes as soon  as verifications are completed.

The Recharge and Go to Old Trafford promo is one of the benefits provided in the  partnership between Globacom and Manchester United which was launched in February 2010 in  Lagos State.

The promo requires subscribers to recharge with N500 or more to qualify for the draw. The  more a subscriber recharges the more his or her chances of winning.

They are to recharge within a week to qualify for the lucky draw to win the  all-expenses-paid trip to watch the next home match of Man United or any of the other  prizes.

Globacom has also launched the promotion in Benin Republic, where Manchester United  forward, Quinton Fortune, made a special guest appearance.
