“SINCE my husband died four years ago, my life has not been the same. I have been left alone in a world of my own.  But now, I am very happy for this remarkable thing that has happened to me. In fact I never thought I could ever be a winner in this promo, as this is the first time in my life of winning something in any promo.”

 

Forty-eight-year old Mrs. Evelyn Okolo, , could not hide her joy at the luck which fate has just placed at her doorstep with the Legend Real Deal Promo as she won herself a blackberry phone. “I never had a blackberry phone, even though some of my friends and neighbours have it. I have always been saying that God will provide for all my needs. And this He has done in a wonderful way.” She added.

 

Mrs. Okolo, a nurse at the male surgical ward of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba, Lagos State, recounted how she won herself the Blackberry phone in the first week of the Real Deal Promo. “I had just finished my shift, and I decided to take a bottle of my drink, which is Legend Extra Stout. I always take just one bottle whenever I feel like relieving the day’s stress. After taking the bottle, I was about walking out of the bar when I remembered about the promo. I went back to my table to pick the crown cork. It was not until the next day that I remembered. I told my daughter to check what was under the cork. I was so surprised to see a BlackBerry phone. And I called my brother in-law to inform him of the development.”

 

After receiving her prize, Mrs. Okolo, an Anambra State indigene has been “preaching the gospel” of Legend. She has succeeded in converting some of her friends and neighbours.

 

“Since I won my BlackBerry, people have been asking me how real it is. I just smile and tell them it can’t be any better. Some of them have started taking Legend, while others are still mixing Legend with other brands because they don’t want to be left out of winning with Legend.” She said affirmatively.

 

One of her brothers-in-law has also been hooked to the Real Deal because of her prize. “Even my brother- in-law who does not drink Legend has now changed his brand to Legend Extra Stout because he also wants to win in the Real Deal Promo.” She added.

 

Mrs. Okolo also affirmed that some of her daughter’s friends have now given her the appellation ‘Mama Legend’. “At first, I tried stopping them from calling that name, but it seems the more I try to stop them, the stronger they become in their resolve to call me such. Even my daughter has now started calling me that name which I just have to answer.”

 

Mrs. Evelyn Okolo admitted that even though she has won for herself a Blackberry phone, she would not stop taking the premium beer because she hopes to win other prizes before the promo ends.

 

“I still have high hopes of winning a TV or Generator. I am now called Mama Legend, so I should win more prizes to live up to the name that has been forcefully given to me. In fact, I think I should increase the number of bottles to two, so that I can have more chances of winning more prizes before the Legend Promo comes to an end.” She declared.

 

The Real Deal promo, which started on May 1 will end on June 30, 2012.
