| The GDA & The New Winner, Oluwaseun Awolope |
Since the
beginning of the Imperial City Promo
on Thursday November 17, 2016, when many Nigerians started winning lands worth
N42 million and other consolation prizes, there has never been a double lucky
winner like SEUN AWOLOPE. Seun Awolope’s case is rare. One, he
is the first graduate to win a landed property in the ongoing promo which is
now gathering momentum across Nigeria. Two, he is the first employed worker to
win. Seun
works with Nikoy Nigeria Limited based in Kaduna (North Central Nigeria) as an
accountant. The other two winners, Saheed Lawal and Seun
Odebunmi are not of Awolope’s pedigree. While Lawal
is a house painter based in Ijebu-Igbo—Ogun
State, Odebunmi is a lotto retailer based in Ibadan—Oyo State (South West Nigeria respectively).
The two are married while Awolope is still single. Lastly,
when it comes to double luck, Awolope seems to posses the Midas.
Young, cool, calm and collected; he surprised the organizers of the promo last
Thursday, November 8 while receiving his prize documents at Radisson Blu Hotel, Victoria Island—Lagos as he won another N50,000;00 during the
review of draws. He won in the N50, 000:00 categories to the surprise of the
organizers and envy of many participants. Seun Awolope seems to have a double
luck anointing on his head and believe this, he is more than serious with his
new found ambition as he packed a handful of lotto tickets he played back in Kaduna
along with him to the venue. The Ondo State born graduate of
Accountancy from Ambrose Ali University,
Ekpoma (Edo State) created more than
enough hue in the hall as he became the first winner to win a land prize of
forty-two million naira worth and a money prize of Fifty Thousand Naira at the
same time.

How did you heard about the Imperial
City Promo?
City Promo?
For real, I
heard about it just like any other Nigerian and I started playing it, I never
taught I could win. It is so funny, when others play in my area, they will say
‘oh, it is a mistake, I don’t need the ticket, it is too costly’ and I will say
‘just give it to me I will pay’. I didn’t mind (the cost) and I collected so
many tickets and I just kept them in my drawer at work and on a good day like
that I got a call from Abuja (Golden
Chance Office) that I won a plot of land and I taught it wasn’t real until they
invited me over. I left my office from Kaduna
to Abuja and I discovered that
indeed, it was real and not until yesterday again, they gave me a call to come
to Lagos and I had to join the last
flight (Arik) from Kaduna to Lagos. So, here I am happy and excited
as the winner of the land.

Did you ever taught in your life that
you were going to hit a jackpot like this?
you were going to hit a jackpot like this?
Ah, no way,
no way. Of course I am a very determined person, I don’t give up. I believe
everything has a process and it it the process that always justifies the end
product. Growing up is a process and making success is also a process and when
God just decides to bless you like this, elevating you from you from one
million Naira straight to forty-two million naira, you just have to be grateful
and humble. It is the Lord’s doing and I return all glory to Him.

The truth of
the matter is that I love my firm; I am not resigning from the firm. I will
keep my work with the company and invest the money. I work with Nikoy
Nigeria Limited. I will keep my job with them and search for openings
on investment. It was not something I was expecting. So, I will invest wisely.
I think it is good to invest wisely and with that you can do any other thing by
the side. I am grateful for the opportunity to win a land in this promo.

| The MC, Eseoghene Mathew Edafe aka Elegbete 1 of Brilla FM engages the Millionaire, Oluwaseun Awolope |
Why not, I
believe in paying tithe because it is the cardinal point of my faith. It has
always been a good thing to pay tithe because when you pay, new doors are
opened unto you, when you give you take.

But it is generally believed that
your faith frowns at lottery and since this is proceeds from lottery how do you
now explain the paying of tithe?
your faith frowns at lottery and since this is proceeds from lottery how do you
now explain the paying of tithe?
You said
‘belief’, let me tell you, your belief is a personal thing, it is personal.
Your belief is a very personal thing, it is like going to school, whatever you
want to pick out of the various bodies of learning, you will pick and what you
don’t want to pick, you throw away. It is as simple as that. So, that is my own
personal belief, I must pay my tithe. Even from the way I dress you can see
that I am not somebody you can push from his opinion at this age, I grew
through this doctrine and anyhow you look at it, it a risk I took just like any
other venture, I took a risk to commit money into this venture and today I am
reaping. God has given me the benefit to reap and I must pay Him his dues. I
will pay my tithe.

And you equally believe that buying
the ticket is an investment as well?
the ticket is an investment as well?
Yes, it is
an investment that comes with common sense. Life is a risk, in buying a ticket
to play a coupon, you have two ways to it, and it is either you win or you
lose. Life is two ways, business is two ways as well; it is either you win or
you lose. So, I have to pay my tithe no matter how we all see it. I cannot do
otherwise.

You know, Golden
Chance is a reputable company. From the first day I started dealing
with them, I know they are very reputable company. Right from the MD down to the lowest person in their
employ, integrity is the key. In Kaduna
we call them ‘play and pay’, because if you play you would be paid instantly
and for real, Golden Chance Lotto is
a very trustworthy company. When I won, I was searched for and today I am faced
with the reality of a brand new life.
