Phoebe Nafula, a tissue paper vendor from Kisii Ndogo area in Ngong, is the first winner of the KES 1 million weekly grand prize in the ongoing ‘Kachingching na Coke’ promotion by Coca-Cola Kenya. This marks the start of a series of winnings as Coca-Cola will be awarding a total of 13 millionaires in the coming weeks.
“When I received the call, I didn’t believe it; I realized I didn’t even have an active bank account for the money to go to,” said Phoebe. The mother of two spends her days selling tissue paper at Ngong market, a job she has held for the past year. She lives with her husband and children in Kisii Ndogo.
Phoebe, the first among 13 millionaires in the ongoing Kachingching consumer promotion, plans to use her winnings to purchase a plot of land and build her family a home in Western Kenya.
Speaking during the colourful handover ceremony in Ngong town, Theuri Chege, Country Manager Coca-Cola Kenya said, “We are delighted to be awarding our first millionaire today and we look forward to changing the lives of 12 more consumers in the coming weeks.”
Coca-Cola Kenya launched the Kachingching na Coke promotion last week to put that extra shilling in the pockets of Kenyans by offering cash prizes ranging from KSH 50 to KSH 1 million.
With one winner announced, there are still 12 more to be awarded in the coming weeks. Customers still have a chance to try their luck.
To participate, consumers are invited to purchase Coca-Cola beverages in 200ml, 300ml, and 500ml returnable glass bottles and check under the metal crown for a unique code. Customers will then SMS this code to 40111 to stand a chance to win. The promotion packs will include a wide range of the company’s products, including the various Fanta brands, Sprite, Krest, Stoney, and Schweppes.
