I WAS LUCKY TO WIN THE 64MILLION NAIRA MTN ULTIMATE WONDER IN 2013

27 years old, Gladys Ebube Essien-Garricks On November 13, 2012 became the winner of the MTN ULTIMATE WONDER PROMO. She won an aeroplane but rather she collected cash worth 64 million naira, which definitely changed her life and that if her family.

After 2 years, she has this to say to YNaija

• How the ‘win’ was celebrated:
• It was really an amazing thing that happened to me, I’m yet to get over the excitement. Not any one can be lucky like I was and I am still very grateful to God. My family threw me a party to celebrate but it was an in-house thing, it wasn’t an elaborate one, just private family celebration. We didn’t invite outsiders to avoid being kidnapped, lol.

• You have been off the radar, why is that?

Yes and that’s because I am presently studying business information system in Malaysia. I left Nigeria in May, 2013.

• Why Malaysia?

Actually I wanted to go to Georgia but my ticket wasn’t ready by then, so I settled for here and I really like it here anyway.

• But you were already studying at the Rivers State College of Health Science and Technology

Yes but I had to quit, I couldn’t go back to complete my studies because the whole winning incident made me popular in school, everyone would point at me, try to be friends with me and all….. I was known all over which the school and I had to leave for security reasons, I didn’t feel safe.
