Mrs Mealii Ali Vyakweli, 60, is a millionaire thanks to GOtv ‘Dunga Milli’ promotion as it enters its third week. Kenyans snap up decoders ahead of Easter holidays.
On Sunday 22nd March 2015, Fatuma Madi, 25, thought of surprising her mum with a gift. And with her mother’s TV set being off for a while, she figured out that the best surprise was a set top box.
“I personally use GOtv and so i decided to buy another for my mum. I went into an electronic shop in Likoni, paid and registered with my mum’s name and mobile phone number. I sent someone to deliver and activated it,” explains Madi.

On Monday evening her mum called to relay her gratitude terming it ‘zawadi ya mwaka’ (this year’s gift).
No sooner had Madi’s mother, Mrs Mealii Ali Vyakweli, 60, finished getting into terms with her daughter’s surprise than she received a call from GOtv officials announcing her as the third national winner of one million shillings in the ongoing GOtv promotion.
“I was ecstatic. I have never won something else before. Thank God. I thank my daughter and GOtv,” said Mrs. Vyakweli.

When asked what the money will be used for, Mrs. Vyakweli narrated, “this is a blessing. First I am figuring out what to do to my daughter as she has won me this. I will then expand my grocery store and build a house for myself.”
Mrs. Vyakweli becomes the third Kenya to win a million shillings in the 8 week competition that launched three weeks ago.
In addition to the one million prize money, there also daily draws where every GOtv buyer stands a chance to win prizes of Ksh 15,000 airtime plus a chance to win annual GOtv subscriptions.

We are helping Kenya to go digital with GOtv to enjoy the best quality programming,” said GOtv Kenya General Manager, Felix Kyengo.
