Mr. Egeonu a twenty year old 400 level medical student of the University of Jos said he was surprised when he realised he had picked the lucky number that won him the prize money. "When I woke up this morning, I never thought I would w.i.n the money, I can't still believe it. It was unexpected when the money behind my number was revealed," said Mr. Egeonu "For a million dollars in my life makes a lot of difference for me and my family. I am very happy and I appreciate the support of my family in going ahead with this promotion," he added. Mr. Egeonu emerged as the regional w.i.n.ner from Kaduna with three of his siblings: Justina Egeonu, Gerald Egeonu and Judith Egeonu. Each of them also won N1000,000 each. Steven Evans, the chief executive officer of Etisalat said: "Today represents the end of a long process in the game show. It was meant to show that Etisalat has arrived and is here to stay in Nigeria and catch people's attention." Since the game show which started in June, 2009, the firm has given out N56 million to subscribers nationwide and 4,320 mobile phones. Other partners of the game show advised the wi..nn.er to spend his money wisely. Ms. Bola Adeshola, an executive director of First Bank said: "He is a worthy winner. That we partner with Etisalat is not for the transaction but for the relationship. This is a platform for you to spend the money wisely by investing in your education and your life."
