Lagosians are in for a splendid time as GiveRaffle, a novel new online raffle game, has been launched in Lagos.

The new game, where players play to win a grand prize of a brand new car monthly and also win daily giveaways including mobile phones, television sets, microwave and generators, water dispensers among many others, was unveiled Saturday December 1 at a media launch held at the Golden Gate Restaurant, Ikoyi, Lagos.

Speaking at the launch, Barrister Adetunji Adegboyega, CEO, Hesges Synergy Nigeria Limited, promoters of the GiveRaffle, said the company has been licensed by the Lagos State Lotteries Board to operate both the lotto and public online lottery activities.

He, however said the company is starting with the GiveRaffle, which he said was aimed at making life more meaningful for everyone.

According to him, the raffle is usually a month long and it is called Season while everyday of that season, there is a daily giveaway called Round.

“A round is a daily draw (Monday to Saturday) starting by 8:00 am till 6:00pm after which a draw will be done. Various household items will be won at a price of N200 per ticket. The season draw is the biggest where the grand prize of a car will be won after the end of the month draw at a token price of N500 per ticket. The N500 ticket also automatically qualifies buyers for daily draws as a double target draw,” he explained.

“If your ticket is drawn in the round, you will be notified via SMS. You will then proceed to your portal to generate a claim code for the reward. The claim code will be sent to your phone and will never be shown on your portal. You must provide the code at any designated pickup location to claim the reward. All draws are independent of any human interference and prizes are redeemable within seven days of the draw,” Adegboyega added.

GiveRaffle has Paystack and GT Mobile App as major payment processors while tickets can also be purchased via web (www.giveraffle.com), and through GiveRaffle certified agents all over Lagos.

Once players buy the ticket, a ticket identification number will be uniquely generated by the computer to certify every transaction.

The Hesges Synergy boss, while assuring of transparency in their operation based on well tested lottery algorithm and proven technology, said they are also committed to abiding by the statutory requirements as to payouts.

He stated that the company holds itself to the highest ethical standards of operation and acts always in accordance with the relevant Nigerian laws, guidelines, regulations and the international best practices in the lottery business.
