To begin the final step of the claims process, which is the shipment of your winning cheque to you. With regards to this, there are three options open to you, you are required to select the most convenient of the three.

The options, together with their associated conditions are presented below: You are required to pay the necessary courier charges to enable us send you your cheque and other claim documents.

This company decline reverse payment for these charges, stating that it is against our professional policy towards ensuring the safe delivery of the cheque to you. That if a reverse payment is made, and something goes wrong, that we/you cannot sue the courier company or insurance company to recover the full value of the fund as stipulated in the cheque since payment for insurance cover was not made at point of mailing. With the above reason, reverse payment is ruled out. Hence, payment on COD (Cost on delivery) is not allowed.

This is in accordance with section 13 (1)(n) of the national gambling act as adopted in 1993 and amended on 3RD July 1996 by the constitutional assembly. This is to protect winners and to avoid misappropriation of funds.

Send your response to indicate your option, because you only have 15 working days to claim this cheque and after this period, your cash prize will be deemed to have been forfeited by you and will be returned to source in order to be reused in the drawings of the next edition of the promotion.

Once again, congratulations.
