A Lagos-based journalist, Vivian Onyebukwa,
has joined about 1,044 other customers who emerged winners at the quarterly
senior citizens and women’s draw of the Access Bank’s DiamondXtra season 11
reward scheme.
Speaking shortly
after receiving the N500,000 prize cheque, Onyebukwa said she has been a
customer of Access Bank for years, adding that she never knew she would emerge
winner someday.
“I feel so happy and so excited. I never believe
I would become a winner in the first place. All I had to do was to top my
DiamondXtra Savings account, which I started with N5000 before I constantly
topped it with bigger amounts which as a result made me N500,000 richer today.
I want to say a big thank you to Access Bank.
Head, Retail Products, Access Bank, Mr. Robert Giles, speaking at the prize presentation ceremony, explained that the Diamondxtra initiative has been running for 11 years, and has constantly grown with the number of prizes given out every year, adding that a total of N50 million was given out in form of cash to winners across the country.
“As at the end of
last year, we had given out N5 billion in prizes since inception. We have had
over 20,000 beneficiaries and as at last year, we had over 4,000 beneficiaries
in which we gave out N50 million today,” he said.
