Spaghetti, Dangote Macaroni and Dangote Flour.
According to the statement,
participation in the promotional draw is simple and easy. Consumers of
spaghetti and macaroni are required to submit five empty wrappers of each
product to the nearest collection centres where they will be issued with
raffle tickets.
Consumers of the flour are, in the same vein,
advised to detach the tag of the 50 kilogrammes bag and submit to the
nearest collection centres for their raffle tickets.
In the case of
distributors, 1,000 cartons
of spaglletti or macaroni
and a truckload of flour entitles a distributor to a raffle ticket.
Meanwhile, participation in the promotional raffle draw peaked -up with
an increase in the number of entries from 18, 000 to 29, 000 entries, an
indication that the raffle draw is gaining acceptability across the
country.
