The winners who were not present at the draw but were called on phone and put on loud speaker were elated while some of them said they were determined to win the ultimate prize in the promotion during the final draw.

Prior to the draw, Mr Issah Adam, the Acting Managing Director of the bank assured customers and passers- by who converged in front of the Bank's Melcom branch in Cape Coast, that the promotion was "no hoax. It is genuine and real".

He therefore urged existing and prospective customers to participate in the promotion.

Launched last year November, the draw is a deposit promotion aimed at mobilising deposits from customers and rewarding those who deposit GHC200.00 or multiples with various prizes via eight mini draws to be climaxed with a final draw in May.

Prizes up for grabs in the final draw are a brand new Ford Focus, a trip to South Africa for two with 2000 dollars spending money and GHC15,000.00 cash.
