Thirty-nine-year-old Abu Fomba, a small-scale miner from Kenema, is the latest winner of Mercury International’s “Win A House” promotion, walking away with a brand-new two-bedroom bungalow valued at US$81,000 – more than Le 2 billion (old leones). The presentation marked the climax of the promotion, which was launched in April to reward customers using the MercuryBet online platform. “Today My Life Has Changed”“When Mercury called me, I jumped right out of my seat,” he said with a smile. Quoting advice from his late father, Attorney Edward Laurence Michael, he said Mercury International has always believed in fulfilling its promises. What started as a regular bet on the MercuryBet online platform has given the Kenema miner more than just a prize: it has provided his family with a permanent place to stay in Freetown.
