“Customers, just like the today’s winners, automatically qualify for the Extra Time monthly promo draws on the purchase of our recharge cards – be it the usual cards, the Soccer card or the Extra Time promo cards” he said.

Anetor added: “While we are aware that this promo period coincides with the FIFA World Cup season, we are conscious of the passion that Nigerians have for soccer; as such, we are also giving away prizes in our Predict & Win on our Facebook Fan Page (StarSat Decoders and LED TV) and are showing our support to the Nigerian Super Eagles, in our own little way, with an official soccer themed StarTimes recharge card – the Soccer Card.”

To qualify for the promo, Mr. Habbeb Somoye, brand manager of the Company, said that, new subscribers stand the chance of winning a brand new 2014 Toyota Yaris car or a 32’ LED Digital TV at the monthly draws on the purchase of the StarTimes decoder, which comes with a month’s free subscription.
