Mercury International, one of Africa’s largest sports betting and lottery platforms, hosted an exciting event on Thursday, January 10, 2025, at the Siaka Stevens Sports Complex, King Harman Road, Brookfields, Freetown. The event marked the presentation of a brand-new Suzuki car and a cash prize of Le5,000 to the winners of their online betting draw.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Managing Director of Mercury International, Martin Edward Michael, congratulated the winners and urged them to use their prizes wisely. He expressed gratitude to the Mercury staff for their dedication, and emphasized the company’s commitment to rewarding its customers with even more exciting prizes throughout 2025.
Deputy Online Manager, Octopus Jackson, highlighted the details of the raffle. He explained that the Suzuki car raffle, launched six months ago, concluded in January 2025, with the draw conducted by their UK-based service providers. Participants qualified for the raffle by playing at least 10 football tickets weekly, with a minimum bet of Le25, to earn one raffle ticket. The more tickets a player had, the higher their chances of winning.
The January 1, 2025, draw revealed two lucky winners: Sorie Mansaray, who drove away with the Suzuki car, and Ibrahim Bangura, who won the cash prize of Le5,000.
Looking ahead, Jackson announced new and exciting opportunities for Mercury International customers in 2025. The upcoming UEFA Champions League raffle, running from January 26 to May 31, will offer participants the chance to win prizes such as a Kekeh, Okada (with helmet), generators, and Samsung phones. Players can qualify by playing with a minimum of Le10 weekly.
Additionally, the Vegas Draw, starting on February 1 and ending on April 19, 2025, requires participants to place bets of at least Le100 weekly for a chance to win even more prizes. Daily reward draws also feature items such as air conditioners, fans, and more.
Jackson advised customers to maintain a single account and encouraged them to login to Mercury Bet Online for access to these exciting opportunities.
