A soldier from the sixth Vijayaba Infantry has been given an opportunity to build his own house simply by being an Airtel Lanka customer and taking part in a promotion that has already seen two other millionaires made, hailing from different walks of life.
Keerthi Chamila Kumara Lansakkara, a 22 year old youth from Mawathagama in the Kurunegala district couldn’t believe it when he was informed that he was the third winner of Airtel Lanka’s Millionaire promotion whereby five lucky customers stand a chance to win Rs. 1 million every fortnight.
The young soldier said that he would use his winnings to build a house for himself and his family. He said he spends his time riding his bicycle and texting his friends.
Speaking about the promotion Airtel CEO Lanka Suren Goonewardene said, “At Airtel Lanka, we are committed to taking care of our customers no matter what part of the country they live in. This promotion is one such way in which we have contributed to the betterment of five lucky customers’ lives and we hope to be able to make a significant improvement to the lives of many more of our loyal customers in future.”
As part of the promotion, prepaid and postpaid Airtel mobile customers, upon topping up their account or paying a bill worth Rs. 100 or more were awarded a chance to participate in the millionaire lucky draw.
Depending on the amount the customer pays, in multiples of 100, he/she would be entitled to multiple chances of eligibility. Two more lucky draws will be held on a fortnightly basis – randomly choosing an Airtel mobile customer from each draw and he/she will get the opportunity of a lifetime to win Rs. 1 million overnight.
