The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, flagged off the programme on Monday in Abuja in which N100million was announced as the star price in addition to 90 Hyundai cars which would be won on a daily basis for 90days.
Also, various consolation prices ranging from tricyles, generators, smart phones, television sets and freezers would be given out to lucky winners through out the duration of the draws.
There would also be weekly bonus price of N5million which will be aired on the Nigeria Television Authority at 8:00 pm daily.
The lottery is being facilitiated by Secure Electronic Technology Plc in collaboration with the major telecommunication providers such as MTN, Etisalat, Glo, Airtel and Visa phone.
Other stakeholders include, Nigeria Lottery Regulatory Commission, Nigeria Communication Commission, Ministries of Culture and Tourism and Communications.
Nigerians are expected to text QP to 35777 to participate in the lottery.
Anyim tasked the organisers on transparency and fairness, saying,”the integrity and involvement of all the stakeholders was at stake if the entire process was flawed.”
He said,”You must make fairness and transparency your watch words through out the duration of the Centenary Lottery. The Centenary lottery stands out as one programme that all Nigerians can participate in,it also stands out as a means to give back to Nigerians and bring the benefits of the Centenary celebration home to many Nigerians.”
Also speaking, the Minister of Culture and Tourism, Mr. Edem Duke urged Nigerians to take advantage of the lottery to refresh their memories on the history of Nigeria, especially on the occasion of the 100 years anniversary.
According to him, the questions would be tied around historical events in Nigeria.
Representatives of the various telecommunication providers all pledged their support to ensure the lottery runs smoothly. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Why would they use it to extort money from Nigerians, when u are looking for a job, they will ask you to buy scratch cards, now that they want to give out gift for answering questions pertaining the history of Nigeria, why would it cost 100naira for one to answer a question and who knows how many questions one would answer before qualifying for the draw that u might end up not winning? This is fraud
ReplyDeleteOMG!! We're finished in this country it was painted as if its free, imagine I just lost 100naira to this fraudsters. God help us in this country.

ReplyDeletedo they take 100 naira for every question answered?
ReplyDeleteThis people are going insane... how many questions would i have to answer.. deducting 100naira on every questions that i answer... May God help us...
ReplyDeleteThis is rubbish. Are we suppose to pay as much as #100 for this lottery. Why are we being treated like this for God's sake. Do u have to use us as a source of revenue for yourselves even when you are paid daily/monthly/annualy through 'pack as u fit chop'. This is unfair. Whats the essence of the centinary lottery when it is not for the low class citizens but for the middle and high class. This is colonization. We are being colonised by the federal government. "i will like u to know that you are not immortals".
ReplyDeletethis is aimed at raising fund for a special or a particular project need,so why disturbing yourself if you don"t have enough to donate........ na free be 100 years (1914- 2014). Still Rubbing Peter to pay Paul,Pls payme back my loss in this my country o !
ReplyDeleteDo FG force you participate in the draw? You will jsut be disturbing urself on unecessory smth
ReplyDeleteThis is expensive for continuos questions to qualify. At least N10 or N20 per question would have been fair enough. Well, its all about spending money to make money. Try ur luck or gambling, which one?
ReplyDelete100 is truly too much na, haba!
ReplyDeleteDs is fraud.how does d fg intend to help nigerians wit ds exurbitant bill they are charging.I was just charged a 100naira for jus an sms.ds is bad fg needs reduce d price.rubbish

Imagine, N100 which enough for a poor man to buy a kongo of garri in some part of d country was planned by d FG to be exploited from a common man's pocket, all in d name of try ur luck. This is unfair, pls let us (FG) fear God.

ReplyDeleteEven the Federal government is joining in the fraud perpetrated by the telecom providers against the people of Nigeria. If they say text OP to 35777 to win why can't they just stop at that? Leading people into sending more text and there by spending more for this lottery is pure fraud and extortion. Nigeria, when shall it end?
ReplyDeleteNational Robbery /corporate 419
ReplyDeleteIottery bullshit! This is purely fournineteen,just publish the names of ur relatives and children outrightly rather than making the ordinary citizen expend his hard earn scarse resources on nothing but treasure in the air
ReplyDeleteThis is scam of the highest order, if you like have 12,000 points just like me, you won't win a pin. It's pre-arranged. they know whom they want to give the cars to.

ReplyDeleteFellow Nigerians, i needed a strong convincing proof before coming out to say this and i have gotten one. i used my MTN line and send entries worth =N=4,0000 all i got was =N=3,800. from my wallet as my winning prize. I thought i was unlucky, so i tried the order Airtel line and send entries worth =N=4,500. all i got again was =N=950. only. Am now convinced that this is a pure day light robbery and that the Hyundai Accent, Keke NAPEP and other prizes promised in the lotto are meant for specific party members or family members because i don't see any reason after sending entries worth =9,500 and still not win any of the prizes.

ReplyDeleteThe Mega Draw for the Centenary Lottery Jackpot (N100Million) was advertised to hold on the 14th of June, 2014 and was supposed to be aired live on NTA... Today is 20th of June, 2014 and yet nothing was said or heard of the draw. So it could very well be said that this is nothing but a big CENTENARY FRAUD... As usual of course!!! It is a big SHAME that this Centenary Lottery thing is now looks like dirty SCAM... With all the big names in SET PLC's the board of Directors and the Nigerian government officials that originally endorsed this scheme... I really wonder if there remains a soul in this country that cares at all about INTEGRITY, FAIRNESS and ACCOUNTABILITY...
ReplyDeleteI was a winner of the Hyundai Accent and first person to win Lagos State. I played with ₦6,000 and was lucky to be called and announced a winner on the national draws on NTA. My name is Udoka Ohiaeri. You can verify
