Brigadier General Martin Ahiaglo, Acting Director General, NLA, commended the winner and urged all those who are 18 years and above to continue playing the game and become winners.

He said, even though the game was launched some few weeks ago, the exponential growth it was currently enjoying is an indication that the Soccer-cash has the potential to expand the revenue base of the National lotteries and its contribution to the consolidated fund.

Mr Frimpong expressed joy for becoming the first person to win the soccer-cash game.
